PHASE ONE 645: Live Interview-Open Platform Medium Format

[dadautube]

is this only a voice interview thing over a single still picture of the camera, or are there more shots and videos here that i can't watch on my computer?

They fit onto medium format /35mm/full fmt cameras in place of film. and to be honest if you don't know what they are for you will never need one so why ask ;)

bad mistake choosing mamiya...mostly plastick..lenses lets say..CRAP..they had the chance with contax..can't beat carl ziese lenses...you've been warned

Mamiya was the only choice remaining. There was never the chance with the discontinued Contax - the cost to resurrect that system, along with the financial liabilities that would accompany it were a non-starter. The new Phase One/Mamiya "D" lenses are completely different from the older plasticky Mamiya lenses, significantly improved, robust, durable, and optically sharper than legacy Zeiss glass (nothing wrong with Zeiss glass).

It's a medium format camera, that uses a much larger sensor than conventional 35mm and the newer APS-C (cropped) format. The digital back is where the sensor is. They're interchangeable, for many have different features, and you may also attach a film back to these cameras and shoot on either 135, 120 or 220 format films.

What is a digital back? Why is it sticking out so much? Why is this camera so expensive, or is it just a very fancy Digital SLR? Someone please educate me.
