In the medium format field, if you only measure "history" and "performance", Hasselblad is undoubtedly a combination of both, while Phase One is an extreme performance monster, founded in 1993, which naturally has nothing to do with "history". Phase One has been working on digital camera systems since film cameras were still a mainstream product in the market, and today they are one of the world's leading digital camera system brands, providing high-performance medium format cameras for commercial photography.
 
The reason why Phase One medium format SLR can be called a performance monster is because of the Phase One back Phase One body. Initially, Phase One backs have an advantage over other brands thanks to patented technology: a control chip and firmware memory are embedded in the digital back, temperature fluctuations are detected, and "black balance" is performed to achieve perfect image quality at different exposure times. Combined with the "Sleep Cooling Technology" for instant wake-up, it is always in standby mode when not working, which effectively suppresses the fluctuating temperature changes of the CCD sensor and avoids noise noise in the dark area. In 1998, Phase One released the first 6-megapixel CCD digital back, LightPhase, which became an instant hit in the photography world, with many of China's top photographers Zhang Shanfu and Hu Liming among its followers. In today's CMOS has become the mainstream, Phase One CCD backs are still not declining, of which IQ280 is a masterpiece, with 80 million pixels, huge dynamic range and unparalleled image quality. Of course, Phase One is not resting on its laurels with CCDs, it has also partnered with Sony to launch the XF 100MP CMOS back with up to 100 million pixels, with an astonishing 16-bit color bit depth and 15-stop aperture dynamic range, and a sensitivity of 50-12800, which is one of the best backs available.
 
Phase One XF is Phase One's strongest body to date. In terms of exterior design, in contrast to the heavy streamlined shape of the 135-format body, the Phase One XF body has a more obvious sense of line at the shoulder screen and eye-level viewfinder, and the angular design is more resolute. The ergonomic design is used to hold the handle on the right side of the fuselage, and the grip is better than that of the 135-format SLR, which greatly reduces the possibility of falling. In terms of handling, compared to the previous generation Phase One 645DF body, it has been greatly improved and improved, and better handling can also help photographers quickly adjust the body parameters and focus on the shooting itself. In addition, it has a focus lighting auxiliary light and a better autofocus system, which is enough to help users achieve a higher success rate and further compensate for the shortcomings of the previous generation of cameras.
 
In addition to the excellent hardware, Phase One is its award-winning post-processing software, Capture One Pro, which is the industry's best RAW processing software and the first choice for professional photographers.
