Sinar has expanded its Hy6 series of medium format cameras with the introduction of a new model.

Broadly similar to Sinar's other models, the Hy6 65 features a new 31 million pixel resolution CCD sensor with a 44x33mm imaging area, which is almost twice the size of a full-frame 35mm camera system, but smaller than the Hy6-e75's sensor.

The system sports the QuadCore Image Processing allowing the users to process settings such as contrast, saturation and noise suppression directly on the camera system. Its sensitivity ranges from ISO 200 to 800 and it has a capture rate of 0.9 shot per second.

The new model is available in two versions – the Hy6 65 and Hy6-s65r. Both versions can shoot images in a variety of formats including DNG and four different JPEG sizes. However, the Hy6-s65r can also record images in the Sinar raw format.

Sinar will also make available the Sinarback eSprit 65, a standalone digital back for use with multiple camera platforms.
