Can we expect the H4D-60 in three weeks, or are they prompting something else?

I think it's quite a new product  
Maybe a digital rangefinder?

If they did a full frame digital XPan, I'd be a happy camper.  But I seriously doubt it.

A dream. If so, please make it compatible with the 200-series.

Top Four:

1. Announcement that Poulsen will return to the 11:35pm slot, and the new guy is bumped back to 12:05am.

2. The actual date when their Service Dept finally writes me back about their defective repair of my 100mm HC lens.

3. Announcement that they're finally bankrupt, and Rupert Murdock is buying out the remaining inventory.

4. They announce that they finally learn the lesson of marketing from Apple Computer, (and inversely from the S2 Leica), to keep their mouth shut about future products until they're actually shipping, because by the time that 21 more days pass, we'll all be moved on to something else.

Just saw the CFV39 back today - 29 MP (square)/ 39MP (rectangular), 2.5" display, but only 64 second exposure.  Still might be interesting for V series shooters.  Even the 203FE & 205FCC can be used with FE lenses and no cables ("Requires small camera adjustment")

It's far more significant; really a technological breakthrough. The H4D will now be available.....in black paint.

That's right.

Hasselblad has garnered a great deal of attention with this.  They have put some credibility on the line and they know it.
The drum roll is going to last awhile.....

The implication on the site now (I think this text is new since the countdown clock first posted, correct?) is that it's not equipment-related at all. It appears to be hinting at be some kind of Hasselblad-managed online portfolio site that will launch when the clock hits zero.  I guess they realized from this forum and others that they need to make sure expectations are properly set. Nothing worse than everyone thinking that the Hasselblad equivalent of an Apple tablet computer is being launched only to find out it's just a website. :-)

Text from the page:

"What if we were to tell you that our little surprise is something that can help you get famous?

What if we were to tell you that we can put your work in front of hundreds and hundreds of thousands of people, absolutely free of charge?

What if we were to tell you that you still have to wait until February 1st to find out the rest?"

I would agree. That does read somewhat like letting the air out of a balloon before it pops in your face.

If it was an images presentation type venture  I would say,  " You're grasping at straws and wasting valuable manpower and manhours that could be better spent
finetuning your product line instead"

The imaging world definitely doesn't need a Hasselblad Flickr site

I hope its not yet another avenue for "emerging" photographers to get "exposure" in exchange for the uncompensated use of their images, or some sort of Next Top Photographer Reality Boon doggle.  If so, PDN will be pissed at Blad for incroaching its turf.

Phase One, Leaf, Leica.. has on their website (specially Leica) where users of their products can show their selected photographs. My guess is Hasselblad prob'ly will have similar subsection/link to their new elegant version of "smugmug", where the users can post their images - which are in different catagories. So I think..Time will tell.
