Elmsford, NY \u2013 October, 2009 \u2013 Mamiya, synonymous with professional photography, has introduced a new 22MP, 36x48mm digital camera selling for $9,995. The Mamiya DM22, slated for November delivery, is the perfect choice for photographers when 35mm-sized DSLRs are not good enough. In fashion work, studio product photography, industrial\/scientific or other demanding photographic specialties, medium format photography is in many people\u2019s eyes hands-down the winner over 35mm-based digital. The DM22 is the affordable way to achieve that superiority.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor years, many professional photographers have been relegated to consumer-like DSLR systems, simply due to the high cost of recognized pro-level digital equipment,\u201d says Mamiya Product Marketing Manager Mike Edwards. \u201cThis new camera features a premium-quality 22 megapixel sensor, and true 16bit\/channel RAW files, resulting in richly detailed images that leave a vibrant and lasting impression for both the photographer and client. We recognize photographers\u2019 need to deliver exceptional quality photographs, along with an impression of professionalism, which a 35mm-sized DSLR cannot present. Files can be processed using either of the included software solutions: Capture One\u2122 by Phase One or Leaf Capture\u2122, or photographers can choose to use Adobe Lightroom\u2122 (not included) allowing the widest variety of professional processing software options available. This is definitely an opportunity to put the finest technology to work at a most affordable price.\u201d<\/p>\n
The new camera has an estimated street price of $9,995. It\u2019s being introduced at the same time as the Mamiya DM28, with a street price of $14,990. Both cameras come with the sharp Mamiya 80mm f\/2.8 D Series lens, focal plane shutter, and are fully compatible with any Mamiya AF focal plane series lens. In addition, they can be used with older 645MF and Hasselblad lenses (via #310-244 adapter), both in stop-down mode.<\/p>\n
Both the DM22 and DM28 feature Mamiya\u2019s new Guaranteed Trade-Up Program, which offers purchasers of new Mamiya digital products the peace of mind of knowing they can safely choose the right product for their specific needs.<\/p>\n
The DM22 features a 48x36mm sensor, 5356×4056 pixels, and an ISO range of 25-400. The RAW file is the Mosaic format, HDR-type, with 16 bits\/channel and a dynamic range of 12 f\/stops. Image storage is either on a CF card or via FireWire\u2122. The DM28 is identical except its sensor is 44x33mm, 6144×4622 pixels, and an ISO range of 50-800.<\/p>\n
