Hi Photographer friends,
Achieve
Photographic Distinction with the Medium-Format PENTAX 645Z
Ricoh Imaging’s new
PENTAX 645Z medium-format DSLR features a 51.4 megapixel CMOS sensor, Full HD
video and a responsive shooting experience with three frames-per-second
DENVER,
CO, April 14, 2014 – It is not often that a camera can be
referred to as a game-changer. One that can provide photographers with the
tools that not only enrich their craft but are capable of producing images so
distinct they are easily set apart from the competition. Today, Ricoh Imaging Americas
Corporation is pleased to announce the game-changing
PENTAX 645Z medium-format DSLR, thus altering the landscape of professional photography.
Developed on the multi-award-winning legacy of the PENTAX
645D and the historic PENTAX 645 film cameras, the PENTAX 645Z improves upon
one of the most lauded cameras in the company’s 95 year history. Featuring an
amazing 51.4 megapixels on a high-performance CMOS image sensor, the PENTAX
645Z assures super-high-resolution images with a stunningly realistic sense of
depth combined with vivid colors and rich shadow detail. The resulting images
feature a uniquely distinct look and an unmistakable brilliance that clearly
differentiate professional photographers to their clients. The thoughtful inclusion
of a CMOS image sensor enables live view on a tiltable LCD panel while also
making the 645Z the first and only camera in the medium-format category to
offer video recording capabilities, resulting in footage that captures
amazingly lifelike reproductions with tangible depth and incredible dynamic
range.
“Our diverse lineup of DSLRs enables us to offer
professional tools like the 645Z at a price point within reach of many
photographers,” said Jim Malcolm, Executive Vice President, Ricoh Imaging.
“Today’s photographers are looking to differentiate their craft and the 645Z
offers the perfect option as an exceptional medium-format camera that does not
sacrifice in quality or specification, with affordability.”
The new PENTAX 645Z has also received several significant
enhancements including an improved and highly responsive shooting experience
that can capture an incredible three frames per second—a significant benefit
when compared to other medium-format cameras featuring CMOS sensors and an
equivalent resolution—with a maximum shutter speed of 1/4000 of a second. The
645Z is equipped with an amazing top ISO of 204,800 for images with exceptional
quality, even in situations with very low light or pushing for higher shutter
speeds in all lighting conditions, providing the photographer with totally new
creative options far beyond the scope of existing medium-format photography. Additionally,
the 645Z is compatible with the recently introduced FLU Card, providing remote operation of the 645Z including the ability
to release the shutter, view a live-view, and browse and download the images recorded
on the card using a wireless connection to a smartphone, tablet, computer or
any web browser enabled device.
Widening the 645Z’s already diverse applications for shooting
is an articulated LCD with a 3.2-inch LCD monitor with approximately 1,037,000
dots, ensuring even the most agile photographer captures waist-level, high and
low-angle images with precision and ease. Finally, the PENTAX 645Z features an
incredibly sturdy and dependable body with a magnesium alloy frame and a diecast aluminum chassis, complemented by 76
weather-seals for a cold-resistant, weather-resistant and dustproof shooting
experience.
In conjunction with the launch of the PENTAX 645Z, Ricoh
Imaging is also excited to announce the availability of 13FA 645 lenses to
support an even wider variety of optics providing the perfect system that spans
numerous shooting scenarios.
