Hasselblad's "game changer" 22nd of June?

[yashima]

+1 on that; I would never be able to ever give up C1 workflow.

As much as I want this, its definitely not going to happen. I expect a mirrorless camera from Phase One very soon (6 months ish)

I would pretty soon expect a similar camera from Fuji as well...

Based on the screenshot and assuming a 44x33mm sensor I've done some approximate measurements:

Body is 135x82x22mm (plus viewfinder and lens mount bump). The mount builds about 7mm, but the sensor can't be too deep into the body either to fit the back screen, so I'd guess the flange distance is around 20mm.

For comparison, Sony A7r: 127 x 94 x 48 mm (bumps included), so the Hassy is similar in size. Flange distance is probably in the same range too, so it looks good for adaptability.

Honestly, sure we don't know all the details yet, but I don't really know if this really is a "game changer".

The price is great, however, that really is all. Yes it's smaller and lighter but even more is the Sony.

Well let's wait for more information. Before I judge it to much.

I'm curious if the lenses will support the resolution. I'm not impressed with the H Series of glass, especially the wide angles.

If you're not impressed by the H glass, then I think there will be a problem. I doubt they have a radically different lens philosophy for these. However the flange distance is shorter, so it's easier to make good wide angles. The 45mm is not really a wide angle with this sensor though, so I guess we'll have to wait and see...

Let's say it's the 44x33mm 50MP Sony, with feature set and screen similar to H6. It's extremely likely that that's the case, they're not large enough to throw out radically different designs.

I still think it's a game changer. Low price, mirrorless, compact and light (it seems), short flange distance. What more do you want?

There is a marking where the sensor is.

Let's use these specs. Great camera, great price. Not sure about the focal length of both lenses. What I hoped for was a wide variety adapters for all kind of Medium Format lenses. If I have to buy new lenses again I can wait for the next sony. Which will come sooner rather then later.

Don't get me wrong its a grteat package, but I really wouldn't call it a game changer so far.

I would not be surprised if this camera would be made in cooperation with Fujinon and using Fujinon lenses.

it for sure has a chance to be the one for H financials though....

So that's it. Looks interesting although I was hoping for an optical/hybrid viewfinder... and more MP

[JoeKitchen]

No normal lens?  That is kind of weird.  I have to expect a ~65mm is in development. 

[Christopher]

Why are all "sample" photos cropped to square ?

If they are real sample photos ^^

[araucaria]

If that's 44x33 the system will be limited to that size forever because the sensor already is maxing out the mount diameter.

same thought. But the same goes for the Leica S

Those are the same pictures from the same camera seller posted earlier.  All of the photos of the new camera are from exactly the same source.

Yes and the last place I would preorder. Don't think they will get any Hassi cameras soon.
