Fully Integrated MF camera system: with optimized communication between lens, camera body, digital engine, and software.

Future-oriented data storage: The high-speed data transfer of the Sinar Hy6 65 and Sinar Hy6-s65r allows for capturing images at fast capturing rates and storing them to CF card in
DNG and
