The E6 is MegaVision’s 39 megapixel solution to uncompromising medium format digital image capture. With a full frame sensor that is twice the size of full frame 35mm format, the E6 provides image quality impossible to match with smaller format image captures. With an image area of 37mm X 49mm, the E6 can take advantage of the best technical camera lenses which typically have upwards to 70 mm focal-plane coverage. With a data rate of 24mpixels/second, an image is transferred from the E6 to a host computer in just over 2 seconds. Live focus eliminates the need for a ground glass or a sliding back adapter on technical cameras. Binning enables both rapid-update live focus, as well as extreme low-light capture with reduced resolution.
In a reprise of the first professional quality color image capture pioneered by MegaVision, the Monochrome E6 (E6-mono) may be coupled with MegaVision’s USB color wheel or multi-spectral LED lighting for the ultimate in image quality and and unrivaled color reproduction accuracy. For those who desire eliminating Bayer pattern compromises, MegaVision’s monochrome option, whether used alone for B&W capture or together with a color wheel or LED lights for multi-shot color capture, offers the most discriminating photographers compelling solutions simply not possible with conventional digital or film solutions.
