Life is filled with choices, and many are financial. Fancy restaurant or peanut buter sandwich and money for a new roof repair. Affordable TV or all-out HD LCD for the Super Bowl followed by years of credit card debt. But here’e one most of us won’t be wrestling over: 39 megapixel Hasselblad digital camera or new BMW.
The medium-format H2D-39 features a 2.2-inch OLED display, on which you can view your 78MB shots. You need not really despair about storage space though — this monster of a camera supports tethered hard drives. Look for lots of other goodies like new color-correction technology. If you’re wondering about pricing, the H2D will run you about $31,000. The CF-39MS will make an even bigger dent in your wallet, priced at about $40,000. So, get yourself the world’s premier medium-format 39-megapixel DSLR… or buy a Bimmer. Source:
We say:…..nothing. We are drooling. But this does mean that we will all eventually have this technology. It’s just a matter of time price-wise. And that is NOT true when it come to the BMW. Gotta love tech!

and even more tech news !
I tested this camera out yesterday. The company I work for is thinking of getting one. I can say that this camera is really amazing but is far overkill for most applications. By the way, more MP doesnt just mean a bigger image…it has a lot to do with the way colors and fine details are rendered. You could shoot the same scene with a 3 MP and with this camera and print 4×6’s…that does not mean they will look the same.
This is the best camera. I have taken a few pics and uploaded into a site.
Site closed down due to download time requried to pick picture. People with T1 links can have a look at photos. TO process a simple photo, you need Adobe speical Photo Permier Pro (40+) edition, as it will load the average photo of 60MB. And in case yuo take a scenery with beautiful colour, buy youself a new harddrive. I will post more comments as I have to carry this huge camera to Himalayas to capture them end to end.
Better they can send to to moon, nice photos of Earth from there….. but hey, how will they tranfer the damn load.
No one thought.
Using this camera is like using Bullet train to go to school two blocks away… not for kids/grown ups either… only for the WORLDS BEST PHOTOGRAPHERS! And that’s me.
Hey i think i got one of these for christmas last year. not sure! … maybe i was too drunk to remember..or maybe that was the thing that fell down the stairs and it showed one or two dead pixels, after which i had to kick it! Didnt really work so someone had the idea of playing some football with it..,that was kinda cool. well it sure was a great day. But hey since all of you think this is such a great camera, i think i will ask one again next year, get into photography and all. sounds good. make some money on my own, photograph some nice babes. yeah. but i need also a backup system right. so i guess i’ll ask a whole set with one backup. would be nice. ok well take care now and donate to 3rd world. now i will fuck my hasselblad in the ass. thx
Halleluja,
why do yáll need these worldy posseszsionsz ?
it is the devil i tell ya! and he will haunt your soul if you buy this cameraaaaaaaaaahahahahahahah
this is a good camera
Imagine if you bought it, walked out of the shop, and dropped it. ooer…
Is 16MP cameras realy cant make a v.good prints on A2 size ?
at what size should I use this ? A0 ?
People after some 3 or 4 years there will be 100 megapixel cameras
everything grows!
use stuff you can afford and know what to do with that
and thats all the solutions for your problems
When you think about it, 39 MB is not outlandish. The sensor is 5412 x 7212 pixels and if every one of them is for image recording, then the resulting prints will be about 18″ x 24″ at 300 dpi.
I recently sold some photos taken with a 5 MP Nikon 5700 that were to be reproduced at 15″ x 20″ and, let me tell you, it took a lot of work in PhotoShop to get results that were barely acceptable. Even with all my work, some of the images just could not take all the teaking and were not useable reproduced at that size.
As far as scanning an 8 x 10 on a drum scanner, an 8000 pixel scanner would cost you upwards of $15,000 and add a whole lot of hassle to your workflow what with photo processing, scanning, etc.
For those of you that say Ansel Adams would not touch this camera and that unless a latent image is bound to silver crystals it cannot be art, get real. A.A. used the best technology of his time and art is independent of the medium.
No, this is not a camera intended for the average amateur, but for the pros with a need for this state-of-the-art camera.
Just what is a “farker”, anyway?
I somehow came across this board after doing a Google search about the new Hassy camera. Was hoping to read something informative on this board. After scanning through most of these posts, I’ve concluded that most of the writings here are downright senseless. Too bad. Now you guys got me wondering what a “farker” is instead of pondering the merits of a 39MB file! Oh well !
i have a 13.1 megapixel and 7.3
but im professional photographer.
i think i wan’t that camera:)
Hearing about this camera IS making me drool profusely… all I have is my crappy little 3.2 mega pixel camera phone… its OK and it DOES take decent photos, but nowhere near as decent as I know this camera will…
I long for the day when Hasselblad slash the prices way down so that us student-types can afford them…
I swear, if I was in a dilemma where I’d have to sleep with someone to get the camera… I’d do it. I’d just shut my eyes and think of the amazing resolution….
I’ve never seen camera like it before. It’s amazing creature and I’d love to have one. Its made for big players I mean who knows photography in deep. We can see inside out of any shot take by it.
[...] That’s the 39 Megapixel Hasselblad Digital Camera. I’m thinking of buying this, even though it’s useless, as soon as someone donates me enough money. [...]
I took around half a million photos with an ELM and FC2,000. Mostly aerial but also wedding, portraiture and press reportage. The FC was one of the first and did give some trouble but the proven ELM went and just kept on going. Enlargements to 54 inches square were as sharp in the corners as the middle. I received reportage work over more experienced reporters because the quality of photos was far better than that on 35mm. Am retired now. Sold my gear to a second hand dealer and got a very good price. Would really love one of these. Wake up you scoffers. If you want the best, buy the best!
wat a load of shit this is
I just got a 3.2 mega pixels and i would like to know how it functions effectively
Who needs a house, auto or jewelry.
Give me one of these babies and i will give you the world
most of you guyz who commented here are not the audience hasselblad expected to watch. This camera is not for you obviously. These types of cameras are for advertising agencies or professional photographers. if you think this isn’t for you, shut your mouth off!!!
to die for.
This camera is one of the best cameras on the market. one of the features i like is hits full fram shots. i can tell that most of you dont have a clue about cameras and the most part this camera will be rented or bought by media comapnies that can afford it.
This camera has a range of color setting that most Digital SLR’s dont have.
now theres a new camera out called The H3D-II is the 4th generation of the Hasselblad H-system even better than film its self. so stop all the babby cry shit . im a pro fotog and if i had money for this camera it would be mine. but i dont see any reason to buy it since my company rents it all the time. peace
it’s fucking own ass with our dick
Mouth watering … I now believe in tooth-fairy and you know what I have asked for …
[...] buy it for me!!! [...]

its crackers … i have one … and its okay suppose .. nothing like the old disposable though … for those cheeky snaps eh!
It makes the film Hasselblad seem affordable.
With certain “necessary” accessories, I imagine the pricetag could easily hit between $75,000 & $100,000 – and worth every penny.
Dear Hasselblad:
FUCK U
I am a pro, but you guys have your heads so far up your asses that you’ll never see the light of day.
WOW!
too expensive…….
wasting money!!!!!!!!!!
what a bag of absoloute bullshit a 5mp 30quid camera from asda is enough
Usual A4 scanner with 4800dpi CCD could bring you more than 2-gigapixel pictures. But it ’s so slooooooooooooooooooooow…
Just wait and watch. we will see the 100 MP camera soon. You will be able to click the images of moon objects.
