More Information Notes & Features New digital SLR from Contax, announced late 2000, for delivery first quarter 2002. Contax is famous for the Zeiss line of optics, so many photographers are looking to the Contax N Digital to set a new benchmark for sharpness and optical quality. Also very noteworthy is that this will be one of the first cameras using the Philips full-frame 35mm CCD. (The 6-megapixel CCD chip covers the same area as a conventional 35mm film frame, meaning the focal length multiplier ratio is 1.0.) More in-depth details and coverage of Contax's official US announcement can be found here.
