Hasselblad's 50-Megapixel Camera

| 8 Comments
Both Nikon and Canon have a huge following in the local photography scene, but one brand which has been synonymous to quality cameras for the longest time is Hasselblad. They may not be that popular to the younger generation, but rest assured, those in the business will describe it as a trusted name in the realm of photography. This brings me to their latest model, the H3DII-50. Hasselblad's 50-megapixel monster camera This 50-megapixel monster features a 36.8x49.1mm Kodak sensor which easily trumps those found in commercially available DSLRs. Yup, that’s right, 50-megapixels. It allows you to capture images in all their full, elaborate detail and save them in 6132x8176 pixels. It also means that you’ll end up with an average of 65MB per RAW file that’s roughly equivalent to 30 images when using a 2GB CF card. A bit over-the-top for the average photographer, but nothing is too much for the passionate and discerning professional. Want to know more? Download the product brochure from their website. There’s no pricing available yet but you can expect this won’t come cheap.  The lower model H3DII-39 sells for $37K so this should give you an idea of how much it'll probably cost. This is a brute in every sense of the word It doesn’t look quite as stylish as the cameras of today, but Hasselblad system is more than the average run-of-the-mill SLR. As they say, quality doesn’t come cheap and so is a Hasselblad camera. October is the scheduled release date of this model.

If my problem is how to spent my money,I'll buy this camera..

can't imagine how this can be useful to a food blogger like myself. probably used by billboard professionals.

dang! if there's a camera that is this expensive, i probably have to take (at least) a bachelor's degree in photography to justify my buying it.

Starting early in the development of their film cameras, Hasselblad has designed modular products. The cameras separate into 4 major components: lens, body, viewfinder and film or sensor back. Connectivity between the components has gotten more sophisticated over the years, but the basic function of the parts has remained the same.

Wow, 50 megapixels... that is a great quality photo, sure puts my 5 megapixel phone camera to shame. Huskies for Sale

Why would an average consumer needs 50 mega pixel for a picture? The one who buy this is either a professional photographer or a show off.
