"Hasselblad is set to launch the world’s first 50MP medium format camera using CMOS sensor technology."

"Ove Bengtson, Hasselblad Product Manager said:

“This pioneering 50 megapixel CMOS sensor camera is based on our H5D-50 model but will offer a faster capture rate; longer shutter speed capability and much greater ISO performance. It will provide greatly improved Live Video in Phocus and will also be available with Multi-Shot functionality.”

He added: “We believe this will provide a highly compelling option for professional photographers who prefer a more versatile camera that enables them to immediately embrace a wider range of photo-disciplines but still encapsulating the exceptionally high-end image quality associated with Hasselblad.”


Hasselblad’s new CEO Ian Rawcliffe said: “We are extremely excited about this highly adaptable new camera which will offer an even broader palette of shooting options for our high-end customers.


“This is a world-first and underpins Hasselblad’s status at the forefront of camera technology. It will be the first of a number of medium format capture innovations we have planned for the coming months.”

High ISO performance
Due to the lower noise levels in the H5D-50c, you will be able to shoot at higher ISO values up to ISO 6400 and achieve incredible image clarity with perfect colours in any light.

Longer shutter speeds
The low noise levels from the H5D-50c will also enable longer shutter speeds of 12 minutes with an exposure time range as fast as 1/800s.

Faster capture rate
With a faster capture rate of 1.5 frames per second, you can keep on shooting without missing an opportunity.

14 f-stops dynamic range
Now there’s a higher dynamic range too. The new H5D-50c camera copes with even the highest contrast shooting scenarios thanks to its increased dynamic range of 14 f-stops. This will ensure extremely good detail and tonality in shadows and highlight areas.

Faster Live Video
With the faster read-out times of the CMOS, the H5D-50c will also enable you a faster Live Video function in Phocus and Phocus Mobile. The frame rate is set to 10-15 frames per second and you can benefit from the Live Video in colour.

    Compared to the CCD version which was about the same price, this may be a real bargain (for those who truly need it).

    I'm hoping that Hasselblad makes a digital back with the same imager for the "V" series too (aka the Hasselblad "CFV-50c", or somesuch).

    Looking at an image of this camera I wondered how much it weighs in comparison to full frame DSLR: 80 ounces vs Nikon D800 35 ounces.
