The MK-3 is up to eight times faster than any digital panoramic camera in the world, with a capture rate of up to 260 million pixels per minute. An ISO of 3200 and beyond, even at full resolution settings, makes the MK-3 up to four times more light sensitive than any other panoramic camera, digital or film.
