You have a very unique chance...

Technically, it is not a "scan" back, as it uses multi-shot stitching to produce the whole frame.
With the sensors that are being used right now for prototyping it should take about 30 seconds to...

Something interesting: I've found a CCD sensor with the size of 80.64x80.64mm and the resolution of slightly above 80 megapixels. The sensor is monochrome, at least the one that I know about.
It is...

Well, then ask those people how much they want to invest, sum these up and then ask some silicon company to design that supersized sensor for them :-)

Unrealistic scenario, unfortunately. Why? Because the market of the professional Large Format users is too small, even a bunch of sensors combined into one big is too expensive, enthusiasts are not...

Thank you Lenrick, your comment is very appreciated.

... and just 10 megapixels.
Ours 1st version is gonna produce stunning 200 megapixels and shall support hardware HDR mode.

Yes, there is an option of doing that, but we want our customers be free of much of the additional stuff.

We're planning to get a few of them ready for test in the beginning of January.

Hello everybody,
We are facing a difficult problem here, so I need you guys to help us making the right decision.
The problem is that we've found too many options with the display screen.

There...

Andre, you are asking for too much. First of all, you should know how the electronic devices are being made. First, the microelectronics designers design the schema of the device. Then, a big silicon...

Bob, right now there are three of us working on this device in our spare time, as we are all software/hardware engineers working full time for different companies.
The company does exist, but it was...

Here is the thing:
We are trying to find an LCD multitouch module for the device, and it appears that it is much easier to find the whole android kit with the built-in multitouch display then a...

Faster and cheaper scan back for large format

John,
I am not giving up on this, just have no intention of designing this sort of back soon.

--Alex

I clearly understand that the MF digital backs are smaller than 6x4.5, and that would be great to have a DB to fully cover 6x7 or even 6x9 frame. Unfortunately, this should either require a large...

John,
6x9 is probable better be implemented with a regular medium format digital back, attached through a sliding adapter.
What do you think?

thanks.

Yes, you're going to be able to compose/focus on the GG, and then replace it with the device. I am not 100% sure yet if I want it to be "insertable" in between the ground glass and the camera, as it...

Q: how long it takes for your Betterlight to shoot full 3x4 (this is its size, right?) with the "shutter speed" of 1/16? Also, how many pixels do you have in the scanned image on the direction...

I knew that at least a few people would be interested. The question is: how many photographers are willing to pay for such a thing?

I am planning to prototype the one using freely available parts,...

Do you store your film in a Swiss Bank safe, so you worry that much about hard drives?
There are backup services offered for a relatively low price.

Say, if it will take 40 seconds to capture 4x5" with 4800 dpi (1/2 gigapixels) with the shutter speed of 1/16, will have a built-in touch screen to set up shooting parameters and possible crop, and...

I am not selling, I am trying to understand if someone offers this, how much would be a demand.
In other words, does it make any sense to start a business in this area or not?

Question: if you were offered an option to buy a 4x5 (or 8x10) scanning digital back, that works 4 times faster than its analogues, scans with 4800dpi (almost half a billion pixels on 4x5!), provides...
