Hey Everyone! Outside of the photo world I'm currently a Computer Engineering student, and while doing some sensor research I came across a new Medium format sensor from Dalsa called the Falcon 4.
The long and short of it is that it a 4:3 ratio at 86 MP, 6 Micro pixels, with an active sensor size of 64mm by 48mm (!!!) putting it almost as an oblong version of 6*6 in terms of capture area (~3000 sure mm of area vs 3100 fo 6*6) :bugeyes:
Supports 16 bit captures
For those using studio flash supports global shutter (so potentially no need for LS lenses dependent upon implementation)
Has both a colour and monochrome variant
Not sure if any of the manufacturers (namely Phase Hassy Pentax and Fuji) would use it in the systems since they've already all moved to Sony for MF, but could be interesting if something does come out of it! Alternatively maybe if the cost per unit is (relatively :ROTFL reasonable could we see a new entrant?
Best,
Felix
