Title: What's the problem with Sony? Why do they work with this id**t?
Post by: EinstStein on July 22, 2013, 07:46:13 pm: When I saw the new Stella camera, I can only say to Sony: You are an id**t!

Post by: ErikKaffehr on July 23, 2013, 02:34:40 am: Hi,

It won't affect Sony's trademark, so it is not Sony's problem. They just deliver the platform to Hasselblad.

Best regards
Erik

I guess they made money on that horrid 'Lunar' after all ..

Post by: BJL on July 23, 2013, 01:53:12 pm: I see little downside for Sony in this: a few extra sales, probably at a nice high margin, and it is mostly Hasselblad's brand that gets tainted, not Sony's.

But there are companies out there that will lavishly decorate iPhones and such, I wonder how soon Hasselblad's astronomically embarrassing new product lines will be undercut by something like pimpyourmirrorless.com

And frankly, this looks better than the Lunar or the Stellar:

Post by: TMARK on July 23, 2013, 02:22:29 pm: The RX100 is stellar for a compact zoom, so Blad gets a win on this for those buyers who don't know any better. What can they complain about? Aside from price and the materials on the grip falling?

Post by: BernardLanguillier on July 23, 2013, 09:01:56 pm: As mentioned when the Lunar was launched, I believe they are mistakingly confusing rich and stupid.

Cheers,

Post by: ripgriffith on July 24, 2013, 01:22:27 pm: Outrageously overpriced, of course, but I think it is a really smart looking camera. My favorite is the Wenga wood grip, which sets off nicely with the gun-metal finish of the camera. Love to see this on an RX-1 (at a suitably reduced price, of course)

Looking at much of the "luxury goods" marketplace, I'd say they're spot-on.

Post by: MoreOrLess on July 26, 2013, 07:15:41 am: While the style maybe wasn't to everyones taste I could at least see the that the Lunar did offer a unique look, this on the other hand just looks like something someone created in their garage with a block of wood and a giant H badge.
