Hey all,
I don't want to spam the board with Phase announcements so I've compressed it all into this thread. I hope it's considered a useful post as there are many active Phase shooters here. If any of you feel this is not an appropriate post please let me know; I want to be a good board member
P65+ Sensor+ goes to ISO 3200 and 1.4 fps
When the P65+ was announced, and even after the initial release, the stated specs were ISO 50-800 at full resolution and ISO 1600 at 15 megapixels using Phase One's patented Sensor+ Technology. The P65+ Sensor+ enabled backs are now starting to ship, but due to high demand individual users should contact their dealer for delivery times. Already delivered P65+ units (those who chose to take delivery before Sensor+ was available) will be able to update their units starting in late April to Sensor+ and should contact their dealers ([email protected] if you are our customer) for instructions.
I'm happy to bring you the news that Phase has shown yet again their strong ability to get the most out of a sensor. The P65+ will be able to shoot at ISO 3200 at 15 megapixels. In addition the max frame rate at 15 megapixels is 1.4 frames per second. Sample images will of course be posted in the next week or two, but I've seen some ISO 1600 and ISO 3200 images and the ISO 1600 is absolutely clean while the 3200, as one would expect from the highest native ISO of a system, is a bit noisy, but still, IMO quite usable.
I know I'm probably drinking the Kool-aid a bit, but I think this is fantastic. A single system which can produce usable ISO 3200 images at 15 megapixels as well as produce the cleanest, highest resolution, highest dynamic range image and can be used on a tech camera is really awesome. Throw in the full-frame zero-viewfinder-crop, the 1 fps (or 1.4fps @ 15mp) speed, and the ability to tether to, and process with Capture One and I think the back-ordered situation speaks for itself.
Phase One L Bracket
You can now buy an Arca-Swiss plate L-Bracket with leather strap from Phase One Dealers directly. This bracket, manufacturer by Really Right Stuff and available exclusively from Phase One dealers allows hand holding using a single hand (by means of the strap) as well as easy horizontal or vertical mounting of your body on an Arca-Swiss compatible tripod head (a normal screw in mount is also available for other tripod heads).
