- Larger Screen (3.0)
- Improved IR filter
- Heat sink as opposed to Fan based cooling
- Different button layout on the back
- Dedicated ISO/WB button (Also enabled on H3DI with firmware update)

No real IQ difference.

David I have heard that the Improved IR filter  can be fixed by Hasselblad on H3D  for 4 or 500 euro

Erick,
     You are correct. When you send an H3D (or other digital backs) to Hasselblad for CCD-related service (cleaning, etc), they will replace the IR filter with the new and improved version. Not sure of the exact cost to you, however a CCD cleaning and filter replacement runs $490 USD.

Regards,

Jordan Miller

Is It Worth the price to change the IR filter ?
