Post by: Two23 on April 17, 2018, 07:42:33 pm: Everything but the price. :( I might be interested, but then again the reason I'm shooting 4x5 & 5x7 is to use 19th century lenses. I just like the look that classic film and dry plate gives with those old lenses.

I think there are some sensors coming down the line which will be really cheap at that size - not high rez but cheap.

Post by: BernardLanguillier on April 18, 2018, 12:34:35 am: I couldn’t find any price information, how much is the 911 going to cost?

I believe that this 12mp offering is an amazing demonstration about the fact that image look is the next frontier.

Cheers,

$106000, see: https://www.dpreview.com/news/9846474491/you-can-own-the-world-s-first-single-shot-8-10-digital-camera-for-106-000 (https://www.dpreview.com/news/9846474491/you-can-own-the-world-s-first-single-shot-8-10-digital-camera-for-106-000)

I think that the sensor they use is normally used in X-ray machines.

Thanks.

This is indeed above budget... by a factor of about 5.
