60 Mpix - H4D (Hasselblad)
Why is this good news? 'cause maybe more pros will move up market and eventually (one day) I'll be able to get a 20 - 30 Mpix back for my good ole 500 C/M.... http://www.dpreview.com/news/0909/09...hasselblad.asp |

Not too much, considering their original cost. Some need $1000 adapters to use, depending on what camera body you have. Yup, couple more years, or so, and they'll be downright reasonable. -- www.mattclara.com |

Very good news indeed... at a very reasonable pricing, $ 42,433.78 USD for the H4D-60 and a greater bargain for the H4D-50 at $29, 262.40 ;-)))) (the pennies are a result of changing the Euros into USD dollars). Now in Canadian dollars, this translates in less of a bargain for either models: $ 45,608.12 CAD and $ 31, 451.44 CAD respectively. Clearly not a camera for news journalism. Best regards, Marcel |

Hasselblad's have rarely had much use for journalism. These are commercial workhorses. |

Otherwise sizes of about 36 x 48 (or so are the "low end"). |

Hasselblad's have rarely had much use for journalism. These are commercial workhorses. I know Alan, I was jesting ;-) Back in the early 60's, I became acquainted with that camera through a friend photographer who was dedicated to portrait taking and was using such a camera. I remember how large the negs were, but I had to be content with my Asahi Pentax Spotmatic ;-) Take care, Marcel |
