Found this over at photo.net (http://www.photo.net/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=00L5jG)

and

I also found this at Adorama (http://www.adorama.com/catalog.tpl?op=NewsDesk_Internal&article_num=050907-1), so the word is definitely out.

It looks like (US) availability will be mid-July with a list price of $32,500 US for the camera + eMotion 75LV back and $30,500 US for the camera + eMotion 54LV.

This is the first time I've heard of the LV moniker. Does anyone know what the LV signifies?

Best regards,
Brad

I presume LV stands for LIVE VIDEO

That makes sense!  (Clearly I missed the obvious!)  

Thanks,

So it is, LV stands for Live Video capability of the eMotion 54 (22 Mpx) and 75 (33 MPx). A part from this, new electronics and other improvements are coming with those new backs: they are not just the e22 and the e 75 with LV capability.

Is that the final treatment, 2 color scheme? It reminds me the hideous looking Hasselblad's H series cameras. Sorry H lovers, I know it is in my eyes only. One more good reason to keep my gorgeous V system!
Hey F&H !!! Make an all black version.

no worry, there isn't a bi-color version.

its a small thing, but im sure hasselblad would have sold heaps more if they looked more like this-

the contax is actually more plasticy than the h1 (h1 being coated metal), but it doesnt seem like it because its got that nice mat black look to it.
