Hasselblad Unveiled H3D II 39 Mega-Pixel

Sure, your D-SLR was superb when you first got it, but let’s face it, you want a replacement. You also want more mega-pixels, but of course you don’t need them. That doesn’t matter though. What does matter is that Hasselblad just updated their H3D D-SLR camera, capable of writing to both Compact Flash and also regular 35mm film. It features a 39MP 48x36mm sensor and features a large 3″ LCD screen. The II is quite similar to the original H3D, but is has some usual refinements that would warrant a purchase over the older model. If you have $30,000 to spare, you can be the envy of all your friends. Until you drop it, of course.

A complete DSLR that is much more than the sum of its parts, the H3D II is peerless in terms of its combined image quality and flexibility. While retaining its full digital lens line and the choice of 22, 31 or 39 megapixel capture units using CCD image sensors up to 48×36 mm – the largest currently available and more than twice the size of even the largest 35mm camera sensors – the Hasselblad H3D II now has a large, bright 3” display, which affords both improved viewing of captured images and lower power consumption.
