Mamiya DM40 Large-Sensor Medium Format DSLR Camera
Mamiya is a Japanese company that manufactures high-end cameras and other related photographic and optical equipment. Mamiya originally achieved fame for its professional film cameras, especially medium-format film cameras such as the Mamiya RB67, RZ67, and C-220/C-330, used by advanced amateur and professional photographers. Mamiya also heralded the establishment of the 645 format for professional photographers, of which its current 645 model is the 645AFDIII. Mamiya has been recently developing digital products, namely the Mamiya ZD products and a new D range of quality lenses.

System Cameras
Many professional medium format cameras are "system cameras", which means that they have various interchangeable parts. Like most 35 mm SLRs, these cameras usually support different lenses, but in addition it is also standard for medium-format system cameras to support different winding mechanisms, viewfinders, and camera backs. This flexibility is one of the primary advantages of medium format photography.
Digital Medium Format
Digital photography came to the medium format world with the development of digital camera backs, which can be fitted to many system cameras. Digital backs are a type of camera back that have electronic sensors in them, effectively converting a camera into a digital camera. These backs are used predominantly by professional photographers. As with film, due to the increased size of the imaging chip (up to twice that of a 35 mm film frame, and As a result as much as 40 times the size of the chip in a typical pocket point-and-shoot camera) they deliver more pixels and have lower noise. Features like fan cooling also improve the image quality of studio models.

 Mamiya DL28 Digital Camera In medium format digital photography, price and performance are usually at opposite ends of the digital
spectrum. Normally you have to pay more a lot more for better quality, performance and features, certainly
for the latest technology. The Mamiya DL28 Digital Camera System totally changes that way of thinking. The
Mamiya DL28 Digital Camera System offers professional features and benefits found in much more expensive
cameras. For example, even though the DL28's resolution is an impressive 28 Megapixels, its large
sensor
allows a pixel size of 7.2 microns, producing images with unmatched richness and color accuracy, low noise,
and striking highlight and shadow detail. Its 3.5-inch (diagonal) screen is the largest in the industry
and offers a bright, high-contrast touch screen that is ideal for outdoor or indoor work. The DL28 marries
the professionally proven Mamiya camera system to the innovative 28 megapixel Aptus-II 6 Digital Back from
Leaf - a system capable of unrivaled performance, image quality and value. The 645AFD III body has a new
coreless motor for faster, more accurate
autofocusing and an enhanced interface system that provides total
communication between the camera, lens and digital back. The 645AFD III and Leaf Aptus-II 6 Digital Back
work as an integral unit so you'll never miss the action. With 16-bit capture, 12 stop dynamic range and
an ISO range of 50-800, the Mamiya DL28 is a full featured professional digital.
