Mamiya DM22 and DM28 DSLRs are now Official
Mamiya will releases its DM22 and DM28 digital DSLR cameras in November, and both models will continue Mamiya’s reputation of perfecting the professional modular camera for the ultimate in versatility.
Both models come with the sharp Mamiya 80mm f/2.8 D Series lens, focal plane shutter, and are fully compatible with any Mamiya AF focal plane series lens. The two cameras also include Phase One’s Capture One and Leaf Capture software for processing those caputered RAW files.
“For years, many professional photographers have been relegated to consumer-like DSLR systems, simply due to the high cost of recognized pro-level digital equipment,” says Mamiya Product Marketing Manager Mike Edwards. “This new camera features a premium-quality 22 megapixel sensor, and true 16bit/channel RAW files, resulting in richly detailed images that leave a vibrant and lasting impression for both the photographer and client. We recognize photographers’ need to deliver exceptional quality photographs, along with an impression of professionalism, which a 35mm-sized DSLR cannot present. Files can be processed using either of the included software solutions: Capture One by Phase One or Leaf Capture, or photographers can choose to use Adobe Lightroom (not included) allowing the widest variety of professional processing software options available. This is definitely an opportunity to put the finest technology to work at a most affordable price.”
The DM22 features a 48×36mm 22 Megapixel image sensor, ISO range of 25-400, and a resolution of 5356 x 4056 pixels. While the the DM28 gets a 44×33mm 28 Megapixel sensor and offers an ISO range of 50-800, and a resolution of 6144 x 4622 pixels.
The RAW file is the Mosaic format, HDR-type, with 16 bits/channel and a dynamic range of 12 f/stops. Image storage is either on a CF card or via FireWire™.
Both the Mamiya DM22 and the DM28 will start shipping from November. The DM22 is priced tagged at $9,995 USD while the DM28 will cost $14,990 USD.

The Mamiya DM22, slated for November delivery, is the perfect choice for photographers when 35mm-sized DSLRs are not good enough.
