Today the company is announcing more flexible camera options to meet the requirements of the world’s most demanding photographers.

As the creator and provider of the industry’s first 100-megapixel medium format camera system, the XF IQ3 100MP, Phase One today introduces a new IQ1 family member: the IQ1 100MP Digital Back. With mounting options for XF and H cameras, and accommodating a range of technical systems, the IQ1 100MP Digital Back is uniquely suited for workflow flexibility and adept performance in any photographic application.
