Product details

A digital SLR camera with an image sensor specifically designed for the ultimate in monochrome black and white photographic quality. Conventional image sensors receive light through a matrix of red, green and blue filters. Each pixel captures only one colour component. In order to create a black and white image from this, conventional cameras have to perform an interpolation. Colour data is converted into monochrome data. The new, exclusive monochrome image sensor, on the other hand, captures only the brightness information received by each pixel, creating fine black-and-white images with higher resolution and finer gradations - without interpolation. To optimise the quality of black-and-white images, the camera has a special monochrome CMOS image sensor, omitting a low-pass filter (AA), with approx. 25.73 megapixels (effective) in APS-C format. This makes the camera ideal for astrophotography.
