Guessing is fun.

Mirrorless, 44x33, touchscreen, wifi connectivity to iOS and Android with companion app, super short flage length allowing the use of legacy glass and even some 35mm format lenses with a big enough image circle and...

...Internally rotating sensor so that the user can switch orientation without rotating the body.

Something like that will effectively kill the tech cam market because with this mounted on an Actus/ Universalis, you can achieve almost everything a tech cam + traditional MFDB can do.

I don't believe that sensor will rotate, or more exactly I believe that it will be a mistake: The key to the future is removing as much moving parts as possible. This not only reduces errors ( We can talk with Nikon about this) but also allow the manufacturing by non experts.
I just hope that it has a good EVF.

One option is that they got a hold on the Leica S sensor. That will explain the unusual aspect ratio bit.

Best regards,

I'm not convinced at all that this is a mirrorless system (though I wish it will be)... It looks like there is something revolutionary happening with the lens mount and a mirrorless doesn't need a built in solution on the body for this to happen... It leaves enough space for an external mechanical device.

But again... one never knows until its all cleared and in a few hours we will have a real subject to discuss... The thickness of the body (as shown in the announcement picture) doesn't suggest a mirrorless either... All one can be sure at the moment, is that what is shown is the (wonder creating) lens mounting side of the camera.... and the similarly shaped "hole" by it.....

Any rumors about what's being presented on the livestream event 22nd of June?

The tiny crop in the video preview looks like a new camera, right?

Just wondering why NickT's thread "What Hasselblad *won't* be announcing on the 22nd" was moved to the Coffee Corner?

It is after all the only informed contribution to what this camera is going to be here on LuLa!

Why spoil the fun with information?

Probably because it was successfully derailed in the very second post.

Theodoros · « **Reply #105 on:** June 20, 2016, 10:29:23 am »

My guess would be that it was moved because if one would be in a position as to have some knowledge, he would keep his mouth shut on forums! ...as this is Hassy's own wish! ...there is no other motivation than one revealing himself as to be a "show-off" if he tries to concentrate the lights on him instead of the product itself... is there?

Especially if he might as well be liar trying to advance his own image with respect to the product!

Do you even know who Nick T is?
About time you took your own advise and shut the hell up about things you do not know or understand.

You only have to contact Nick and tell us what Hassy's new release is... or Nick himself... otherwise there was no motivation about the post!

Hmm.

Fact, Nick has close links with Hasselblad.

Or the opposite....

Dear moderators,

If you can't be bothered to actually moderate the forum, could we please ask for an "Ignore user" button?
The quality of content dramatically increases with a bullshit filter in place, hence.

Thanks in advance!

You still can contact Nick and tell us what the new product is all about... Is it a KIA or it can compare with your Ferrari?

I believe it was moved so that the [pick your description] who want to joke about Lunars and Stellars can have a private place to giggle among themselves.

Christopher Sanderson · « **Reply #112 on:** June 20, 2016, 11:23:32 am »

I am moving it back. Sorry, I got grumpy too last night.

BTW

There is indeed an Ignore function which has always been there. Go to your Profile and under Modify Profile you will see Buddies/Ignore List. Click on Edit Ignore List and add the user you wish to ignore

I think its pretty obvious Nick knows exactly what is coming and posts as much as he is allowed to under NDA. I'm pretty sure he checked with Hassi about writing about the X-Pan and it makes sense. The whole idea of a panoramic camera was a huge idea, but not realistic. It would have been a disappointment for a lot if it wasn't one. So know we already know it isn't one and I think that plays into Hassi's plan.

Whatever they bring, I am hoping that it's got a large sensor and not 3::2 crop ratio! Square would be my first choice. I love the color from the Hasselblad natural color.

If Hasselblad is really reading every post then can I just say please bring back the CF line of backs! I've been using the CF-22 and 39 multishot backs for a long while and love them. The universal mount with adapter plates is a great idea.

I agree, CF line was the best ever made ... It's a good time to return

We'll see us well-known chip (50mpix) Or ... 72Mpix Sony matrix, all enclosed in a fairly awaited construction. I expect the second option because it is more likely (target group)

Sony Semi has 50mp and 100mp "mf" sensors...

Yes, I know, but I do not expect MF... Of course, I'd love to, but that would mean price revolution :-)
Have you heard about the new matrix which is expected to Sony A9?

one more FF dSLM is hardly a game changer... but MF dSLM might be
