It is not just Photokina which has become the default destination for camera makers to launch their new cameras for the past few days. There are organizations that are launching some amazing new cameras without even taking the advantage of Photokina media attraction. Leaf Aptus-II 12 is one such super attractive camera which has recently been made public but not at Photokina.

There's no question that more megapixels in an image sensor offers significantly higher detail and larger output sizes," said Tim Grey, photographer, author, and respected digital imaging expert. "While there are software products that can enhance and enlarge a photo, the result will never truly be more information than was captured by the image sensor. For photographers who need maximum detail and the potential for particularly large print sizes, medium format digital backs represent ideal tools."

The Leaf Aptus-II 12 can bear up to 80 MP of imaging data with the help of its 53.7mm x 40.3mm x CCD sensor. The 3.5 inches touchscreen on its back does its job pretty well. The ISO range for this box is between 80 to 800 with 0.6 fps capture rate. Something which can leave you astonished as the max file size of an image can be as large as 480 MB.
