Hi,
It has 1/2000s shutter sync, medium format magic and a Hasselblad logo…
Seriously, this is also a question I ask my self. The 44x33 sensor may be a bit to small to give a significant advantage over 24x36 mm.
On the other hand that sensor size may be a very good one, if combined with excellent lenses. Hasselblad seems to intend it to be small. The lenses presented so far seem to be medium aperture, compact and very good.
This is an interesting point. Sony has nice little camera in the Sony A7-series. But, all high quality lenses are large and heavy. Some folks, me included, would prefer high quality lenses with medium apertures. There is some probability that we are going to see new generations of those CMOS sensors from Sony, my guess is that we will see a 100+ MP 44x33mm sensor in a couple of years.
Best regards
Erik
It might for some. And it is a great camera if you own some Hassi gear. However, why is it changing anything only because it has 7 more MP compared to a Sony ? And costs three times that ?
I really don't get that big of a fuss about it. This might sound a bit over negative, but from the professional and rent studios I know it's not even changing enough to buy it...
