I highly recommend that the participants of this forum offer suggestions for feature requests for hardware as well as software. We do make note of it,
OK.
Here's a thought.
Suggestion #1.
Make a Hasselblad rangefinder like the Contax G2.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Contax_g...2,8_21mm_jp.jpgAutofocus, a few lenses, (make them Zeiss) and a Full Frame 35mm chip, better yet, give it some kind of auto crop or auto sensing device so when it is in horitzontal mode it goes to 2:3, Vertical it goes to 4:3.
You know you can do it, you did that DMR thing for Leica and you work with Fuji and others.
This allows you to cover professionals to the dentist/country club set (I'm serious) because Hasselblad and leica are the only two camera names left with real bling.
Suggestion #2
Open up Focus 2 to other brands of cameras for processing. It just can't be that difficult because even the early C-1 would process Leaf files if you ran some kind of secret script in each file and changed the name from Leaf to dog, or something other than Leaf. (some guy had that script available for PC'S so you know you can do it.)
This allows a photographer to work in one software suite and while your adpating the software change the name. Phochus opens up way too many silly comments and why make a name change on your software.
Call it Hasselblad processing. Stick with the brand man.
Suggestion #3
Make a video camera. OK, I know Hasselblad is a still camera company, but Bananna Republic use to sell Indian Jones clothes and now they sell suits, so adding to and changing your brand won't hurt a thing.
Once again you work with Fuji so tap into them, I'm sure they got the knowhow and don't make some half way 2/3's inch chip video camera, make it at least full cinema size, maybe bigger and give it autofocus, a PL mount adapter, real input jacks like xlr, real ways to view hdmi out to field monitors and an articulating screen.
Don't think video doesn't carry some weight cause every still photography site I look at has a video.
Make it a complete system and team up with some little company like Red Rock and get all the parts in place.
I mean a complete system, even down to the monitors, rods, matte boxes and cases.
Make it so when somebody open up that big honking Hasselblad case it glows like the briefcase in pulp fiction.
Suggestion #4
Kidnap, (sorry . . .hire) some Canon or Nikon or Intel guy and build a big processor for all your cameras, maybe two or three in each camera so you can produce great previews and in camera jpegs.
Get modern. Sell the brand, make it really useable, make is so no photographer has to think of any other camera brand when it comes to making images.
Suggestion #5
You've come a long way and it's somewhat appreciated, but rock the world and do some real innovation.
IMO
