The new H5D-50C

       With such nomenclature it can only be a  Hasselblad.

  Hasselblad has started shipping the  new 50MP CMOS sensor camera that was just announced in mid-January. The new H5D-50c moves away from the  usual CCD sensors that   have been standard in their medium-format digital cameras. Hasselblad states that because of this new CMOS  sensor  the H5D-50c can shoot up to ISO 6400 with a dynamic range of up to 14 stops!  That is surely a step in the right direction.  With cell phones having 41 mega pixels,  and so called full frames 24X36mm DSLR's sporting 48 mega pixels, ultimately it's the size of the photo sites that make all the difference and the resultant greater dynamic range is what separates the medium format digital cameras from the rest of the pack. What will the H5D-50c set you back?  €20,900 or  $28,702. Actually it's not the most expensive camera on the market. Naturally one must add lenses and the sticker shock will begin to creep in. But for a niche professional who needs it, it's another business expense. It's only money.
