In search of the killer bokeh: Two years ago, the small camera manufacturer LargeSense made a name for itself with an approximately www.slashcam.de/news/single/Large-Format-4K-Cinema-Kamera-mit-DIN-A4-grossem-Se-14320.html (A4-sized (!) film sensor), which was installed in a drilled-out box camera (LS911). Now founder Bill Charbonnet presents a smaller but still extremely large sensor compared to commercially available cameras. The LS45-M is 4x5 inches, measuring 140x120mm with a resolution of 2802x2400 pixels, and is not sold as a complete package this time, but as a digital back extension for large format analog cameras.

Dynamic range is claimed to be 12.2 at ISO 250 or 11.65 stops at ISO 2000. The video data has a max. data rate of about 390 MB/s and is stored via USB3.1 on an external m.2 hard disk / SSD. An included software, which is based on a neural network, is supposed to upscale the video images up to four times (4K) in very good quality. The device is operated via WLAN, for example via tablet, and a small video proxy is output for image preview. An external LC shutter is also in development, which should help the 4x5 sensor to achieve a global shutter. The LS45-M costs ,000 in the U.S., and the color version is expected to cost around ,000. ![]() ![]() ![]() deutsche Version dieser Seite: Riesiger 4x5" Sensor für alte Großformatkameras -- LargeSense LS45-M Digital Back |
