    The Hasselblad H3DII-50 – the 50 stands for 50 megapixel

    July 15, 2008 The latest addition to professional camera specialist Hasselblad’s H-Series is the H3DII-50, and yes, the 50 in the camera’s model number does refer to 50 megapixels thanks to Kodak’s 50 megapixel 36×48mm sensor. This sensor is twice the physical size of the largest 35mm DSLR sensors with Kodak stating that, "at 50 [megapixels] the sensor captures digital images with unprecedented resolution and detail. For instance, with a 50 megapixel camera, in an aerial photo of a field 1-½ miles across, you could detect an object about the size of a small notebook computer (1 foot by 1 foot)." In addition to the increased resolution, the new sensor also provides the foundation for the development of advanced lens performance and optical corrections.

    By providing a true integrated DSLR experience in a Medium Format camera, the H3DII-50 enables photographers to combine the full benefits of professional medium-format digital capture with the ease-of-use found in the best 35mm DSLRs. The H3DII-50 camera system is made for the high-end commercial photographer with high demands on both ultimate image quality and flexibility. With the H3DII-50 photographers can choose between eye-level and waist-level viewfinders, combining point–and–shoot and tilt/shift functions, working tethered and un-tethered, as well as choosing the image processing system and storage medium of CF card or SanDisk Extreme IV's. The camera can capture images at 1 frame per second in Hasselblad 3FR raw or DNG export. The H3DII-50 also features a 3-inch display, a CCD cooling sink, and can shoot at ISO ranges of 50 to 400.

    There’s no word yet on a price or release date, but with the H3DII-50’s little brother the H3DII-39 retailing for more than US$30,000 they’re probably still adding the zeros.

    Remember the zooming into the picture in Bladerunner?, Zooming into full res from scaled to fit your monitor on a picture from this monster will probably feel like that

      So thats what, about 7000x7000? How does that compare to a film based camera? Are we getting anywhere close yet?

        35mm negative film is approximately 6,000 lines. 35mm positive motion picture film is about 2,000 lines and IMAX is about 7,000.

          Of course, Hasselblad doesn't use 35 mm, but medium format film. If I'm not mistaken, they use the 6x6 format, which results in a 56mm x 56mm negative...

          Dunno how the digital resolution compares to this (whether or not this film has the same approximate resolution as 35mm film)...
