Photographers looking to upgrade their nondigital medium format camera into a digital camera with ease, may be interested to know that the “I’m Back” digital transformation system now has a new addition in the form of a medium format digital back which has this week been launched via Kickstarter.
Early bird backers can pledge $299 saving roughly $200 from a $499 recommended retail price. Worldwide shipping is expected to take place during April 2020 and the digital back is available for a wide variety of different cameras such as Hasselblad, Bronica, Pentax, Mamiya and others.
Features and Specifications
The digital back is equipped with a touch-screen display, Panasonic MN34120 16 megapixel sensor capable of capturing jpg and RAW (B&W) imagery as well as normal video, slow motion, time lapse, ISO, EV, photo burst (3 at 10 pics a second), B6W, sepia, colour and stores images on a 128gb microSD card. This makes it a versatile tool for photographers who want to experiment with different styles and techniques without needing multiple devices.
The touch-screen display is particularly user-friendly, allowing photographers to easily navigate through settings and review their shots on the go. The 16-megapixel sensor ensures high-quality images, making it a competitive option even when compared to some of the more established digital cameras on the market. The ability to shoot in RAW format is a significant advantage for professional photographers who require extensive post-processing capabilities.
Compatibility and Versatility
One of the standout features of the “I’m Back” digital back is its compatibility with a wide range of medium format cameras. Whether you own a Hasselblad, Bronica, Pentax, or Mamiya, this digital back can seamlessly integrate with your existing equipment. This flexibility is a major selling point, as it allows photographers to continue using their preferred camera bodies while upgrading to digital technology.
The digital back also supports various shooting modes, including normal video, slow motion, and time lapse. This makes it an excellent choice for photographers who want to explore different types of photography and videography. The photo burst mode, which captures 3 shots at 10 pics a second, is perfect for action photography, ensuring you never miss a moment.
