Hasselblad has launched the H4D-40, a 40-megapixel medium-format camera that incorporates a 33×44mm CCD sensor — nearly twice the size of a full-frame 35mm DSLR sensor.

The HD40 employs a "true focus" AF system that adjusts for the angular velocity movement that occurs when focusing a subject that is not in the center of the shot. To compensate for this shift, which often causes blur, an absolute-position lock processor logs the camera's exact movement to...

Mamiya has added the DM40 to its line of professional large-sensor SLR cameras. The camera has a 40-megapixel sensor and two user-selectable shutter systems: leaf or focal plane.

For bright daylight shots, users can use lenses equipped with leaf shutter planes inside the lens that more quickly sync with the flash and better compensate for...

Sigma Corp. has introduced a successor to the SD14. The SD15 camera incorporates a 14-megapixel Foveon X3 sensor and a 3-inch, 460k-dot LCD screen.

With the X3 sensor, the SD15 can capture all primary RGB colors at every pixel location. Using three levels of photo detectors, the SD15 is able to more accurately reproduce color and offer a sharper image resolution. Up to 21 frames can be...

Pentax has announced the X90 superzoom with a 26x optical zoom lens ideal for use in macro mode, a 12.1-megapixel-resolution image-stabilized sensor and 11 fps capability.

Although the X90 is housed in a compact, lightweight body, the internal lens offers a 26mm wide-angle to a 676mm super telephoto equivalent range. For extreme zoom situations...

Fujifilm has introduced the FinePix HS10 advanced superzoom camera, which combines a huge 30x (24-720mm equivalent) optical zoom lens with a 10-megapixel back-illuminated CMOS sensor. It includes full HD 1080p video recording and RAW/JPEG capture options. The camera is capable of shooting true wide-angle and...

Panasonic has created the LUMIX G2, a 12.1-megapixel, interchangeable lens system camera with a 3-inch, movable LCD touch-control screen.

With a wide-viewing angle that rotates 180 degrees from side to side and tilts 270 degrees up and down, the camera offers an almost 100 percent field of view. The new touch screen also allows for more easily accessible controls with...

Canon has upgraded the EOS Rebel with the T2i, an 18-megapixel, 30-fps, full HD video DSLR. The camera has a 3-inch LCD monitor and shoots in a 3:2 aspect ratio format. New to this camera is more HD video control. With up to 1080p shooting capabilities, users can manually adjust exposure and...

Five years after announcing its development, Pentax has unveiled its 645D medium-format camera. It is the first digital version of the company's 645 system and features a 40-megapixel, 44×33 CCD sensor and a 921k-dot 3-inch LCD screen. It is compatible with existing 645-system lenses.

The sensor, nearly 1.7x larger than 35mm-format cameras, can produce RAW images as large as 50 MB. With 1/4000 second shutter speed, the 645D can take...

Olympus has developed an even smaller-bodied model of its micro four-thirds camera, the EP-2 — a 12.3-megapixel interchangeable-lens camera with an enhanced continuous autofocus tracking system, two new art filers and additional connectivity ports. C-AF Tracking and AF Target registration allow users to lock onto subjects and adjust exposure and focus.

New to this camera, the diorama art filter creates a "miniature model" with narrow depth of focus and enhanced subject contrast. The cross-process art filter easily manipulates...

Nikon has released its FX-format D3S, a pro SLR camera with a 12.1-megapixel FX-format CMOS sensor. The new camera has 51 autofocus points, an extremely broad ISO range and can capture up to 9 fps in the FX-format or 11 fps in the DX crop mode.

The D3S contains a multi-CAM 3500FX focus module, with 51 AF points, 15 cross-type sensors and 36 horizontal sensors that lock onto moving subjects. AF comes in three modes — single point, dynamic area and...
