As its name suggests, it has a 50 Megapixel sensor about the size of a beer coaster to suck in plenty of available light, while delivering incredible resolution. The only catch I can see is the $37,000 price tag.

mmm..I think I posted about this delicious topic a while back (not in it's own thread, buried in another). Though truth be told, any Hasselblad is droolworthy.

For us normal people with P&S cameras, anything more than 6MP is a waste of sensor space. More than a waste - a crime.

Hasselblad is known for their optics and least-moving-parts. Not their sensor size. Digi on an H (new for them!) is just added honey on an already sweet treat.

Size matters. Especially when it comes to sensor size. Even more so when the MP are going crazy.

That photo loaded from the bottom up, and until I saw the face I thought you'd someone gotten a photo of me at the beach.

What a relief to see that it was someone else.

If your next door neighbor got drunk on Purim, and then shechted, cooked and ate your pet duck, buying a giant flat screen TV to make him jealous is a much more productive way of getting even than, say, fire-bombing his car. That said, Chazal would probably have recommended you do t'chias hameisim on the duck. ~krumlikeapretzel

Medium format is good too. You've experience with them?

Owned bronicas and mamiyas. The mamiya is a workhorse (that's why they were so ridiculously popular among wedding photographers before they went digital) but they're also as heavy as a tank. I love the 6x6 format and a nice bronica SQA kit will take beautiful images for a fraction of the cost of a 'blad. The glass may be good, but most photographers honestly aren't so pro that they NEED or can even appreciate top-of-the-line glass. And now that everyone's dumping their equipment and going digital, you can pick up a really nice kit for next to nothing...

I was looking at the mamiyas a short while ago smile.gif (rollei too..those I was positively drooling over [not their new digital. I happen to like old-school darkroom developing..I used to spend hours there..so much so that my shirts developed a faint line where the chemicals rubbed off everytime I bent over a tank to retrieve a photo]). One day I suppose..
