Phase One has appear a 100MP back for its modular XF medium format camera system, with a CMOS sensor co-developed with Sony. Despite being described as 'full frame' the sensor is 53.7 x 40.4mm, making it two and a half times larger than the 135 format to which the term is near often applied. The 'full frame' MF sensor guarantees that the full field-of-view of MF lenses tin can be realized, compared to the cropped fields-of-view a number of previous MF backs, such as the IQ250, yielded.

The Phase I XF 100MP photographic camera system offers sixteen-fleck color output and a claimed 15 stops of dynamic range, presumably at the base (native) ISO setting of 50. Impressively, an electronic first pall is automatically used when shooting with Vibration Filibuster or Mirror Up, ensuring the big focal plane shutter doesn't milk shake and soften your image when shooting at susceptible shutter speeds with non-leafage shutter lenses. The camera body, back and 80mm Schneider Kreuznach lens (~50mm equiv.) will set y'all dorsum around $49,000.
