Epson R-D1 Rangefinder Digital Camera
Posted by James Fee in "HARDWARE" @ 09:00 AM
"The Epson R-D1 is the world’s first rangefinder digital camera. This camera was introduced in Japan earlier this year and will now be shipping in the United States in early November. The R-D1 combines the classic feel and precision engineering of a traditional rangefinder camera with the latest digital technology. It is the first digital camera allowing photographers to use revered L- and M-mount lenses. It is comprised of a magnesium alloy exterior and an aluminum die cast body, with a 6.1 megapixel APS C-size CCD sensor with a 1.53 magnification factor for an image resolution up to 3008 x 2000 pixels. The Epson R-D1 supports a RAW mode as well as two JPEG modes. Both JPEG modes incorporate PRINT Image Matching® II technology for optimal prints. "
