Best Digital Camera Back: Leaf Aptus 75
Leaf Aptus 75 The Leaf Aptus 75 represents the most recent digital
camera back for high-end, professional photography. It offers a
resolution of approximately 34 megapixels (6726x5040), resulting in a
file size of around 200MB at 16-bit. The sensor features a 7.2-micron
pixel size, and offers a sensitivity range from 50-800 ISO. The
outputted RAW images can be compressed to reduce the file-size by half,
and because the compression is lossless, there's no reduction in quality
in the 16-bit data that's captured. Exclusive to the Aptus 75 is the big
6x7cm touch-screen LCD for displaying and controlling the final image
quality. Leaf offers a range of storage options: CF card, 20 or 30 GB
Digital Magazine, Firewire disk or computer hard disk.
