“Old School” meets modern times with the launch of the new A-series IQ3 100MP System. Phase One writes:

The A-series Camera System is as innovative as it is simple. Making no sacrifice at the expense of image quality, the system embraces the excellence of decades-old analogue technology and pairs it with unmatched digital integration. Combining the best optical components with the ultimate digital technology, while maintaining precision simplicity, ensures quality is always number one. Not only does this system take full advantage of the image quality inherent to the IQ3 100MP Digital Back, but it delivers it in lighter and smaller precision mechanics.

You can buy [shoplink 44647 ebay]Alpa cameras on eBay (Click here)[/shoplink]. But that’s not where you will spend most of your money. It’s the IQ3 100MP back that will cost you $43,990 (Samys price).

Back at the D5 presentation in early January Niokon brought some solid (?!?!?!) “arguments” why mirrorless camera cannot match the performance of PRO DSLR cameras. You can see the short Nikon talk video here on SAF (watch from min 8).

During the A6300 presnetation Sony accepted the Nikon challenge and listen to what they said from minute 9.30:

That hurts Nikon :)
