We are currently using a Hasselblad 501 body with a Phase1 digital back.
This provides preservation quality images and scans at 300dpi (NOF
standards)unlike most other digital cameras.
We have used this setup on a variety of projects, the latest being the
digitisation of the Auchinleck Manuscripts for the National Library of
Scotland who also use a similar system.
There is one major drawback with the setup and that is the initial cost. If
interested our services are available and we are willing to travel
Be careful not buy a camera which will manipulate the image internally
increasing the CCD, as these will not give images of preservation status.
