Whow !
Large Format Digital Backs and Cameras
And also:
8x10 10x8 Large format digital back model LS911
Whow !
Sadly not the slightest hint about the price.
But: only 12 megapixels, base ISO 2100 - this sounds way affordable, does it not ?
And in other parts of the side, they talk about a smaller 4x5 variant, which should be a lot cheaper than the 8x10 version ... hopefully !
Either way, even if the price is as insane as people might reasonably fear - I definitely wasnt expecting ANYONE to create a commercially available digital large format camera any time soon.

We're working hard on our LS911 large format digital camera. When we have more information we'll update this page. So far these are the specs:
- 9x11 inch high sensitivity, large pixel digital sensor (We tend to refer to it as 8x10 as that is the closest format that people search for.)
- 12 Mega Pixels
- 75 micron pixel size (these are very large)
- Live view for easy focusing
- WiFi for remote viewing and control
- Large format 4k movie mode (it is hopeful but not for sure)
- 14 bit AD; 16 bit files
- 2 hardware ISO modes
Base ISO 2,100 - with IR filter - (approximate)High ISO 6,400 - with IR filter - (approximate)- No CFA, no AA and no micro lenses. This allows large movements without affecting edge image quality.
- Output to DNG, TIFF and JPEG.
- Media: CF and SD card slots.
- Tethered operation, by CAT5 cable or WiFi.
- All specifications subject to change
