The Mamiya ZD is finally here...sort of

Lori Grunin Senior Editor / Advice
I've been reviewing hardware and software, devising testing methodology and handed out buying advice for what seems like forever; I'm currently absorbed by computers and gaming hardware, but previously spent many years concentrating on cameras. I've also volunteered with a cat rescue for over 15 years doing adoptions, designing marketing materials, managing volunteers and, of course, photographing cats.

For those of you who don't religiously follow this type of thing, Mamiya announced its 22-megapixel, medium-format-size (48mm-by-36mm) sensor back in September 2004. The big news at the time was, in addition to the high resolution, compatibility with Mamiya 645AF lenses. Well, the Mamiya ZD is now finally available, at least in Europe; we North Americans will have to wait a few more months to find out if it's worth its $13,000 price tag.
