a few days ago I had the pleasure of playing with the new Phase One XT 151 megapixel medium format mirrorless camera.
I meet up with Micheal and Mark from C.R.Kennedy at the spit on the gold coast and had planned to get some shots of the jetty at sunset.
When we got there the wind was so wild with lots of sea spray we ended up seeking shelter under the Sundale bridge at Main beach.
we dide’t have the best sunset but still ended up with some ok test images. I’m very impressed with the camera and the files are huge. check out the 100% crop below.
The files on the memory card are around 170 Mb and open up in photoshop around 900 Mb.

quickly rotate the camera between portrait and landscape orientation
2m00s, Automated Frame Average used for this image. camera was set to capture 2.5 seconds exposures for the duration of 2 minutes and its then averaged into a single raw file. its the first time i seen this technology and it looks to work really well.

check out the unprocessed IIQ file. you would think there be no detail in the blacks.
