Hasselblad introduces the H3DII-50MS
There is no doubt that the name Hasselblad is associated with quality, but with that quality also comes a high price tag. Â Well, when Hasselblad releases a 50 megapixel camera, you best be ready to take out a loan to buy it.
While the H3DII-50 was introduced over a year ago, the new H3DII-50MS is a multi-shot DSLR that is perfect for still studio photography. By capturing a sequence of 4 shots, each offset by a one pixel increment, every point on your set is rendered with its true red, green and blue color components. In this way, true detail and true color are acquired without interpolation of any kind.
Make no mistake that this camera is all about shooting in a studio environment, you’re not going to want to take it to the football game with you. Â For studio shooting it does sound like the most amazing thing ever.
