Setiz 6X17 Digital

By David Osborn

There isn’t another camera anywhere in the world that takes larger digital pictures than the Seitz and the 160 Megapixel files produce incredible results. In terms of scale, image definition and sheer drama, this camera brings to photography what the IMAX brings to cinema.
I was able to put Seitz’s latest through its paces after being offered a free road test by specialist supplier,Teamwork Digital, in London. My initial test shots include images of Canary Wharf and the British Library in London, and Forty Hall, a country house near my home in Enfield. They have all the detail, sharpness and vibrancy you would expect of any modern digital photographic print. The big difference is their sheer scale: here, size really does matter. The final prints measure a remarkable 44x96 inches (and bigger is also possible). They offer the viewer a near visionary experience that I think is entirely new to photography.
Of course, as photographers we have been able to print big for yea...
