Hasselblad replaces CEO, announces 50MP CMOS medium-format camera
Hasselblad has announced a new camera, the H5D-50c which incorporates a 50MP CMOS sensor. This is a significant step away from the CCD sensors that have been standard in digital medium-format imaging up to now and potentially opens up the possibility of higher ISO sensitivities and faster capture rates than previous Hasselblad medium-format bodies.
According to Hasselblad's press release, the H5D-50c is 'the first of a number of medium format capture innovations we have planned for the coming months'.
This development comes weeks after Hasselblad was reported to have quietly replaced its CEO, Dr Larry Hansen. He was the man responsible for the tie-up with Sony that created the Hasselblad Lunar and has been replaced by former chief operating officer Ian Rawcliffe. It is unclear whether the change of management spells the end for the Hasselblad Lunar and Stellar cameras.
Press release:
Hasselblad set to launch world's first medium format CMOS sensor camera
Hasselblad is set to launch the world's first 50MP medium format camera using CMOS sensor technology. The groundbreaking H5D-50c will go on sale in March.
Ove Bengtson, Hasselblad Product Manager said: "This pioneering 50 megapixel CMOS sensor camera is based on our H5D-50 model but will offer a faster capture rate; longer shutter speed capability and much greater ISO performance. It will provide greatly improved Live Video in Phocus and will also be available with Multi-Shot functionality."
He added: "We believe this will provide a highly compelling option for professional photographers who prefer a more versatile camera that enables them to immediately embrace a wider range of photo-disciplines but still encapsulating the exceptionally high-end image quality associated with Hasselblad."
Hasselblad's new CEO Ian Rawcliffe said: "We are extremely excited about this highly adaptable new camera which will offer an even broader palette of shooting options for our high-end customers.
"This is a world-first and underpins Hasselblad's status at the forefront of camera technology. It will be the first of a number of medium format capture innovations we have planned for the coming months."
Further information and prices for the new H5D-50c models will be announced in March.

I guess Rome has fallen (again):
Either that, or the three little ships Didn't sail off the edge of the earth:
Will there be an option to attach it to a folding Fuji 645?
There was an old song that one of my many mentors would sing while shooting.
The 'Opening' line went something like this, " .... park you chewing gum, and razors at the door, drop your ego outside the church 'cause your 'er going to learn some more. .... "
I've been at it for a very long time and have worked with many Hasselblads and all the related equipment.
You, who have never work with the MF cameras or Hasselblad. And are not engineers, should go sit in the corner and chew on your ego.
Go take some pictures. We use to say, years ago, " That's really nice, but what have you done lately ? "
Come again?
Two different worlds and perspectives. Can't really expect one type of camera or technology to satisfy all needs, methods and styles. It doesn't help to berate anyone for their enthusiasm even if it is uniformed; teach someone kindly and you will be the wiser.
instead of working with Sony
they should work with Aston Martin car.
Every car owner gets a Hassy with each purchase
Ha ha, I guess the "gaudi wood retrofitted uglified Sony camera for some insane price" could not continue forever.
I'm perfectly fine with my ISO 25, CCD digital back.
My shooting style allows to use flash all the time, so I'm never too worried about ISOs.
In fact, I just love CCDs above all other sensor designs, and consider my back to be the best camera I've ever worked with.
On the other hand, this is the most important move Hassel has ever done, at least in the past 15 years.
CMOS will allow them to enter the High ISO game, and for most enthusiasts (large part of sales), that's the move they were waiting for.
If Hassel has their hands on a great CMOS chip, prepare to see a turn of the tide, and DMF rising again.
Medium format CCD still produces a better looking file than cmos... no need to drop your digital back yet..
Cmos medium format just opens up the market to different users,wedding snappers might love this chip.
Well I really miss a higher ISO in my Hasselblad workflow. Aerial hires photography can be really painful in "partly cloudy" weather conditions. I'm really sick of Haselblad ISO 800 noise performance.
What is the product and managerial dossier of the new CEO? Can this Ian Rawcliffe be the rugby veteran and promoter? Perhaps Hasselblad will market luxury cameras designed to feature the color and mascot of top teams, or perhaps the engraved signatures of star players.
We can presume the company was generous to the prior CEO, given all the contributions to Lunar exploration and sports car design. Such credentials will be sure door-openers in this hot shoe world of cloud.
Seriously, though, can the company be more sure of making money on a sober MF camera than on whimsical models that appeal to folks with lots to spend?
As a professional photographer who shoots a lot of architecture and landscapes, I wish someone would come out with something affordable in medium format. No pricing, but I'm guessing this is not the product I'm wishing for...
D800 or A7r not enough?
D800 is the best camera for me
but I'd appreciate if can have ten times higher resolution,
as well as ten times lower ISO for architecture and micro.
It is called Giga Pan or Autopano. Under $1,000 and virtually unlimited resolution. Unless your buildings are running away on you.
> Unless your buildings are running away on you.
a lot of unless'es,
like changing lighting at sunrise and under twilight.
Excellent news, I wait with baited breath for threads from wealthy amateurs filled with badly exposed shots of their cats which they can print to the size of Malta.
oh you poor professional with perfect shots;-)
Thats why I´m using a Pentax Q
At these prices I think its safe to say the buyers are actual professional photographers.
@ TadekH - I'm not a professional, I just don't take badly exposed shots of cats with gear that I don't need, though I reserve the right to do so should I win the lottery ;-)
@ AbrasiveReducer - You're new here aren't you :-)
So now it´s also time for a new digiback for the V-series and for taken up production of V-series again :D at the same time kick out the overprized sony´s ;)
Is Pentax 645DII going to have the same sensor?
WHAT? Is this the end of wooden grips? Hopefully not, because this will kill a wonderful running gag...
I hear this new CEO has background in the furniture business.
"We believe this will provide a highly compelling option for professional photographers ..."
"Via: Amateur Photographer"
They only did it for the LuLz.
Worthless without gold or platina
Wow, so many strong opinions but only three to five people here actually own or shoot with MF. Very interesting…
I'm not one of those five.. But still, i'm interested in photography and therefor know Hasselblad and the products they made in the past.
It was saddening to see this company produce the stuff like Lunar.
Good thing Hasselblad and mister CEO decided to split.
I agree with sebastian. I used MF in a semi pro situation using film in the 80's and one had to be aware of the big H and the engineering and image quality that H stood for. Adding bits of curly wood seemed totally irrelevant to me...just yet another nod to the wealthy amateur. VG to see something black, rugged and superbly made back on the factory's benches (I hope).
But will it have a wooden grip..?
Hundreds of CEO's in the camera industry get replaced so often... this is news?
Has Sell Blood should change their ergonomic and industrial designers.
This is a stupid move for a medium format cam maker. Whilst CMOS sensors offer higher ISO settings, CCD sensors are BY FAR superior in image quality at low to moderate ISO settings and medium format should be about quality and NOT bragging rights on a spec sheet.
Hassy would have been better employed commissioning Sony to use their talents to design an improved CCD sensor.
First Hassy buy discontinued Sony cams and pimp them up and sell them at silly prices and now this CMOS thing. It's really sad to see what Hassy is becoming .................. a shadow of its former self.
I hope Phase One ignore this spec sheet CMOS bragging rights nonsense and stick to CCD sensors
Only the makers of medium format backs claim that CCD has an image quality advantage, they only had CCD to It will be interesting to see the final result! sell, and needed a myth to enable the sale of old technology.
Dalsa (Phase One sensor suppliers) actually makes CCD and CMOS sensors, plus Canon's made 645-sized CMOS sensors before. It's not about what's been viable or available, it's what works better for the market they're building these cameras for.
I don't know what Hassy's thinking with this, but I doubt it's going to be a big step up at the low ISOs 80% of their customers use 80% of the time.
About "I hope Phase One ignore this spec sheet CMOS bragging rights nonsense and stick to CCD sensors" - do NOT hope:
Oh well, it looks like the world is coming to an end. :o(
I really don't understand why these guys are being so silly; chasing the popular (ill-informed) vote rather than sticking to THE best and leaving the rabble to try and raise their standards
Another BS story teller. I wonder how can you live while being so stupid, dude. Now, facts only:
1) There are filters that passes only a part of photons. They are responsible for color accuracy.
2) Photons are converted into energy once reached a pixel. The quality of this conversion is very well described with SNR value. The more is this value, the better the quality.
And now facts:
1) Sony A900 with CMOS sensor trounces all MF cameras produced today in color separation.
2) CMOS SNR value per area is higher than one of CCDs.
Medium format technology has never been THE best. Their large size has been able to mask their shortcomings, but their technology has always been lagging behind the smaller formats. And any advantage CCD used to have over CMOS is no longer valid; whether a sensor is CCD or CMOS tells you nothing about its quality.
It is also about manufacturability of the sensor, the cost-per-unit-of-quality (however that gets measured by a particular market!). So a higher yield CMOS may allow some more $ left over for processing, or better body, or.....
And other engineering targets and tradeoffs.
So it may be that to get fast writes to work, or to enable parallel threaded access to the sensor (to speed up image acquisition and processing). Who knows. You and I don't. So all my speculation is just like everyone else's. The designers have made a choice for (likely) very good reasons.
Unless they are using the "wooden grip" dudes!
I believe it is Sony's sensor. Remember months ago there were rumors about Sony designing 50MP cmos sensor? I think this is it. And I have a feeling that the same sensor will be used by Pentax for their next MF dslr.
Pentax 645D uses 44 x 33 mm sensor, not 49 x 36 like good Hassies (except H5D-40 which uses the same small one as the Pentax). Although Pentax could still benefit from bigger sensor.
will the new CEO bring us better grips?
Who's CMOS would have the best image quality if scaled up to 645 size? Will Leaf and Phase One follow?
Perhaps this will push Phase One to go to 100 or 120 MP to differentiate themselves, even if still CCD.
I think they may still want to use a sensor that is custom designed by them, or at least for them.
No, the way I see it, next these MF cameras and backs will be "video capable" and lose all their photo quality to heavy AA filtering...I mean, if Canon does end up buying into the format, anyways.
Actually Mr. Ian Rawcliffe IS Dr. Hansen wearing a bespoke suit made of exotic wool. And of course he changed his name.
Coca Cola Classic is back.
Thanks for firing the CEO, finally there is some hope.
Hopefully they haven't also ruined the product by "corn-syruping" the old formula in the process.
See all of our comments here got the CEO fired. We suck. ;)
I'm sure he'll land somewhere and make a mint. It's the little guy that loses a job that has a family that ends up suffering. Hopefully the comments here saved their jobs in the long run.
Just sayin.
Nope. CEOs got excellent severance packages - big chunk of money plus loads of benefits. It's all written in their contract. Don't compare executive pay and benefit to the average employee.
Look at Meg Whitman, who invented eBay the way Al Gore invented the internet. Everywhere she goes, they pay her millions to go away. Eventually, she'll be stuck ruining some company because they can't afford to get rid of her.
First I was happy to read this. But then the Hassy of today would not put out another reasonably cost product. It will be another expensive MF that is easily over $20k.
Well, expensive kinda goes with MF. Can't see any reason why it wouldn't be.
The Pentax 645 is not expensive. Too bad they don't have the money to put more focus on MF.
Perhaps that is the reason they don't have the money to focus on MF. :)
I wonder whether it's a Sony sensor!
it is a Sony sensor, no doubt
The beauty of medium format is ccd. Thats what create the magic. Whats the use of a camera that creates the same d800 IMAGES with more pixel? Which professional will use a blad at iso 1600or 3200? The blad, not like pentax645d, is not Made for street.
I think your prejudices for or against CCD vs CMOS are based on old info, or no info. Both can very competently capture an image. The highest DR sensors currently in production are all CMOS sensors. Because of newer fab methods CMOS is less expensive to produce in larger die sizes than was one possible. And the fab techniques scale up and down in size. In a sense your were using CCD because that's what they could make, not because it was inherently better. Even your $40K hassy rig is "value managed."
CCD is inherently superior to CMOS in image quality. It's that a LOT of R&D has gone into CMOS sensors. Given enough development, CCD would/will improve massively in terms high ISO (admittedly not as high as CMOS) and maintain it's superiority over CMOS for image quality (e.g. colour). Medium Format should be about quality first and formost, this CMOS nonsense of Hassy is them giving in to the rabble who are impresssed by high numbers on a spec sheet (ISO 1 million trillion!!) rather then doing what they should be doing which is rising above it all and sticking to the high quality, no the HIGHEST quality, ethos.
'Given enough development, CCD would/will improve massively in terms ....': would, if, if not......bring you no picture at all. ;)
ccd has a rendering simply different, natural with excellent tonality and smoothness,. it's a kind of image you have to see. when i see the iso 100 images of my 645d my jaw drops. by the way what MF camera do you use? cmos are better in many aspect but not in Iq at low iso. cmos flat everything in my opinion, i never see an image with 3d feeling using a cmos camera, the same i see from my foveon or 645d. In my opinion the difference between my k5 a d800 and this gassy will be only the number of pixel.
medium format is for IQ at low iso, not for a jack of all trade. If i need an overall beast for high iso and good low iso i'll buy a d800, 36 million are enough.
in my opinion gassy is depurate in trouble with business model. leaf phase sell more, pentax sell very good and is coming put with a 60 model at competitive price...
Wouldn't it be fair towards Hassy to let the images speak for themselves. ..?
Or does it matter how the camera is done?
This sounds good, because their strategy of covering Sony cameras with wood and increasing the price 10x wasn't a great idea.
...quietly replaced its CEO..., ehehe
well well well, Now I was waiting for the new range of QX lenses made in organic bamboo with the rare Leather-lined mosquito and manufactured in Shanghai. Damn!
Darn, does this mean we'll never get the Uranus camera?
Great news about a CMOS Hassy.
I hope this new H has USB3 instead of firewire,and 16bit readout,
Canon is mad because there are no more companies that are less in touch with their customer's needs than them.
Looking at the Canon sales: You talk BS.
sales is the only good thing Canon has left. But are sales good for us customers or good for Canon?
Declining sales is a bad thing even if you are one of the top companies. If your sales continue to decline eventually you won't be at the top anymore.
This announcement is like having your grandfather taken off life support and then regain consciousness. Only to find out that the thing that was supposed to be keeping him alive was actually killing him.
I bet that CEO blamed marketing for their products failures.
It was probably marketing research that brought those abominations.
It just shows that you can't restrict your marketing research to Dubai, Qatar, Monaco and Liechtenstein.
Serious Question. How many of you shoot Medium Format or would switch to Medium Format if the right camera body was produced?
one here ;)
I would switch any time if only MF would be within my budget. Sadly it's not - not even Pentax, so... ~_~ I live with what I have.
I would. 35mm/FF still retains a lot more flexibility in shooting situations. But there is no doubting that MF IQ reigns supreme. But if a MF system were as flexible as say a D800? I'd sell a kidney.
raises Hand! H3D50
I use M4/3 gear and would upgrade to medium format only if I wanted a larger sensor. Not sure I'll ever be able to afford it, but I'd love to have a MF system.
I would, if they finally would make a full frame rectangular 500C back.. At a decent price.. 40MP would be more than sufficient
I shoot APS-C, FF, MF and LF. For the latter two I have film systems rather than digital, and the price is what's holding me back, esp. in the case of MF. For my commercial work, there's no need for anything beyond what my D800 gives me in terms of resolution, color, and dynamic range. For autonomous work, I'd definitey go for a medium format system if the price becomes reasonable. The fact that CMOS is here (and hence higher usable ISO) only makes it more interesting.
I shoot MF currently.
In my dreams.
at all those, rightly, pointing out huge prices of digital backs - you can always get a used one, older one… not many changes have happened on the digital medium format back market. you can get decent back from 2005/6, just look at PhaseOne P40/45 or Leaf Aptus 33 or 33S. If you already have a medium format film camera these two options are brilliant.
Me not, but i'm interested in photography and therefor know Hasselblad and the products they made in the past.
It was saddening to see this company produce the stuff like Lunar.
Good thing Hasselblad and mister CEO decided to split.
Yup, I shoot it.
go with x100s now ....from SLR
I like the concept of using m4/3 for regular use and medium format for when I want to be super fussy. Having said that, my medium format film cameras languish in a cupboard. I would need a decent project to invest in digital at that level and don't foresee that happening soon. However, I do like the idea of completely avoiding the compromises inherent in 35mm digital!
Nice to see where Hasselblad are going with this. Good on them and I wish them luck.
I want a Leica S2 so badly ...but I doubt I'll ever get one. Probably the most beautiful camera I've ever seen.
MF is not for the average Joe.
It would still be an excellent camera for serious landscape or commercial photograpghy. With this new camera using CMOS sensor, will it be more affordable? What about the lenses? Will Zeiss make some extraordinary lenses to match it or to bring out the best in it?
Let's see what are the new technical specification. What processor will it use? Finally, how much are they selling it? If they are just hoping to sell a few of them the price would definitely be high and that will also kill it. A chicken and egg situation.
Intetesting choice for photographers nevertheless and it is good to have choices.
Got microFT, Sony APS-C, Canon 1D series x 3, Hassy MF film with digital back coming, hopefully, in July.
Price. Whining about the cost of MF is daft, coz whining about the price is like whining about the price of a Porsche 911, wanting it but wanting the price to be about the same as a VW Golf GTi. People keep banging on about how Pentax 645D is cheap (comparatively), well lets see how long that cheapness lasts when (or if) they flesh out the lens selection; let's see if they can avoid pricing lenses in the £3K to £5K range.
CMOS sensors. Daft daft daft, if this is intended to be a gradual replacement of CCD sensor MF cams in the Hassy line-up. MF is about HIGHEST IMAGE QUALITY (which is what you get with CCD) and NOT about spec sheet bragging rights (that you will get with the ISO 1 trillion zillion setting of a CMOS sensor cam).
What is this, a camera or a camera plus back system?
Good it means other medium format backs will show up with CMOS sensors.
Imagine a Leica S3 that can be used at ISO 2000.
And the general idiocy by Haselblad lately goes to show what happens when finance types run a company instead of those interested in making things or providing interesting services.
A Leica S3 that can be used at 1600iso is called a Pentax 645D ;)
I use a Leica S.. I'm fairly certain that the next S will have a cmosis sensor...hopefully 60mp.
Well if you're satisfied with the lower optical quality of Pentax lenses, then maybe.
Also news that the current Pentax 645D has a CMOS sensor, so unlikely you can really use it at ISO1600 (anyhow wrote ISO2000 in my comment).
It's not like the Pentax is a bad camera, but...
Let's hope Leica goes for fewer than 60 mega pixels, then the S3 can be used more outside of the studio.
U dont have a clue what u talk about...the lenses from Pentax 645 are amazing, maybe spighe inferiore t oleica but not the difference u are talking..the 35 was the best 645 beating every blad mamiya..the new 25 is super, like the 300 400 600.. Ah sure Leica dont have 600.... The 120 macro is a gem, the 150 has amazing bokeh...i have all and the 645d and they are amazing. Sure Leica are better, they cost three Times, and the difference is minimal.
The fact u say Pentax use a cmos clear
Y stated u dont know what u are talking about.
"Sure Leica are better, they cost three Times, and the difference is minimal."
So right, the Leica S lenses are extraordinary and Pentax lenses can't keep up with the optical quality of good Leica lenses. Not really news. Also not news that Leica lenses are expensive.
I didn't make any claims about what lenses Pentax makes that Leica doesn't. Not at all clear that all of those Pentax MF lenses you cite are still made.
"every blad mamiya", Hasselblad is not a lens maker; Fuji and Zeiss have both made lenses for Hasselblad.
Also as I said, the Pentax 645D uses a CCD (not CMOS) sensor:
And that means it's not real likely to go much above ISO 400–even if it can be set higher.
So next time check.
u don't have a clue what u talk about...even digillyod said pentax fa 645 are excellent, sure leica are better but cost 7000 euro per lens and produce and the difference is not to be seen in printing up to a2. the 67 lenses are also superb..pentax has some excellent lens leica don't have...the 600 f 5,6 for example is superb...so pentax is also more flexible.
By the way pentax 645d has excellent performance up to iso 1600...check dxi mark. Much much better than any other MF camera included leicas.
By the way what medium format you use?
the leica s plus 3 lenses cost you 45000 euro, against 8000 and you will struggle see the difference. that's why pentax 645 is a success leica s2 is selling only to snob rich people and a bunch of pro.
DXO scores for sensors are useless. You'll need raws, so get some Pentax 645D ISO 1600 raws and check your assertion. And the fact that you've cited DXO means that you don't actually know much about digital imaging.
No one ever claimed the Leica S2 was useable above ISO 600.
I don't care that Leica S lenses are more expensive than Pentax lenses, Leica lenses are optically better and that's the reason they're sought out.
If you don't particularly care about colour go with the Pentax lenses, I'm sure they're okay.
what medium format u use?
i don0t take dxi as an oracle. i have file of pentax 645d at iso 1600 and they are pretty good...they clean superb and are usable as any apsc or ff camera. in addiction if you shoot 1600 u need 40 ill ion? jus resize and the pentax are super clean.
that' pentax 645 has very good noise handling even at iso 1600 is written in every review you can find in the web, it's simply superior to any medium format camera out there. iso 800 is simply as grainless. leica over iiso 400 is a mess...
leica cost 4 times but ar both worth the difference. the pentax glass are excellent and comparable to leica in may ways. probably wide open leica is superior, toped down where u use a medium format camera mostly they are similar. i have a 35 manual lens from 645 that is tack sharp corner to corner with zero ca and minimal distortion, i doubt the 35 from leica is better than it. but can you if you can provide some samples....cause u have a leica s, not?
Thank, "pretty good" and "resize" make my point for me.
There are plenty of sharp lenses. It's about colour, and that's lacking in most non Leica and non Zeiss lenses.
Indeed the Pentax may be better at higher ISOs than the Leica S2.
Never clear what "tack sharp means".
color? the pentax has superb rendering....what medium u use?
I'm sure the Pentax body and lenses do decent color, but not like good Leica or Zeiss lenses.
I don't shoot MF. I'd need much higher ISOs.
u don't have a clue. point. u dont'0 use any camera u talk about.
the 645d sing and glass are amazing, the dmc from pentax produce super neutral color rendition. contrast is the righ amount. pentax fa 645 35 and a 35 neat the zeiss con tax 35 in every aspect....the 645 lenses were excellent in film era and are still excellent, apart some case, in digital. u need much higher iso and talk about color accuracy?
i ll stop. sorry is useless talk with somebody who don't have a clue and most of all does the expert.
If it's 16-bit color (it should be) and has better IQ at anything other than ISO 400 (which it will) then I think they might have a winner. Unfortunately it'll probably still cost an arm and a leg ($50k - $60k) with lenses in the $5k range. However, if they brought out an affordable CMOS 6x6 camera back that fits the Hasselblad V-series, then dangnammit, I'm there!
Current H5D costs $27,000.
You're right, $30k but that doesn't include lenses and accessories. Those add up too. New technology for a Hasselblad...that should increase the price to way above $30k.
you can also use V adapter and old Zeiss lenses
I'd love square sensor but not quite sure they'd go for it. They stopped selling V series in April 2013 so there's no interest I guess for them to make something like this (or Sony it seems - I don't think that Imacon is behind this)
That was one thing I was going to fix if I had won that $600 million lotto by myself. I would have made a 6x6 sensor to fit into a Hasselblad V-series and filled that nitch. I know it wouldn't sell all that much, but if it was successful then I'd make it for Bronica and Rollei then move up to 6x7 and get the RZ people. I was all set, but alas, it wasn't meant to be since I didn't win.
Of course, I do know that it's better to have digital backs on the H-series instead since critical focusing isn't easy on a V-series (I had a Kodak digital back) and not having auto exposures was a pain at times.
Critical focus on a V System cam is EASY..................on stll subjects (no continuous AF)
the lunatic left!
You could almost say it was a Stellar move to remove the Lunar-tic running the company
you surely meant "ruining the company"
There is a god in heaven and the universe is balanced again. Now all Hasselblad needs to do is put Luca Alexandrini into the unemployment line and they can put this episode of 'suckery' behind them.
They should do like Leica did with the S2. A 50mp DSLR-shaped camera, somewhat smaller even than the pro Nikons and Canons.
Leica S is great to use,only thing I would change on it is to add a 4x3 sensor,but I;m happy enough with 3x2..
I agree about the 4/3 format, 3:2 is ridiculous, based on film and often gets its sides cropped off, so it ends up smaller than a 4/3rds shot would be.
A3, A4, A5 etc. are basically 3:2 formats, but I guess you don't print those in the US. They are standard print formats in some European countries, at least.
No, the A (B) sizes are actually within a hair of 5:7, so both 3:2 and 4:3 will have to be cropped about the same to print. I find my preference these days is 4:5, 4:3, and "wide" with 5:7, so it seems shooting m43 has changed the way I see!
Disappointing. Without competition from the Stellar and Lunar, the Nikon Df family is likely to go up in price considerably.
How are rebadged Sony cameras, with smaller sensors relevant to a full framed Nikon DSLR?
The Df aint a rebadged anything and has nothing to do with Sony.
Don't worry, the Hasselblad Solar is coming.
good job hasselblad. getting back to the serious work of marketing fuji products
Who cares where the body is made,its great to use and the viewfinder is amazing,,,
Wait, has Sony already made a 50MP MF?!!
Canon, this is how you right a wrong. You go back to the drawing board and produce a new product that offers something that no one else can instead of just rehashing the something that has been on the market for years already.
"It is unclear whether the change of management spells the end for the Hasselblad Lunar and Stellar cameras."
Their announcement spelled the end of the Hasselblad Lunar and Stellar cameras.
I wouldn't bet on that. They signed contract with Sony - prepare for Martian, Venusian and Jovian cameras coming in next 2-3 years ;)
@ plastek
You forgot the Plutonian! That one will be too small, though, but radio-activatable....;)
I hope they paid him his severance in Lunars.

BUFFALO, N.Y. - Following their son Hunter's death, the public saw former NFL quarterback Jim Kelly and his wife Jill as a seemingly happy couple, dedicated to the Hunter's Hope foundation, and each other.
But behind the public appearances, the private reality was very different.
In her new book "Without A Word," Jill Kelly details the severe troubles in their marriage and how the couple overcame them.
Scott Brown: "In the book you said after Hunter passed away, you just assumed that you guys would get divorced?"
Jill Kelly: "Oh yeah, I thought for sure because there was nothing left of our marriage at that point."
In hindsight, the Kelly's say that Hunter's birth and the around-the-clock care he needed, exposed the cracks that were already developing in their marriage.
Jim Kelly: "Early on we were separate, we were two different people even though we lived under the same roof. In order to make a marriage work you need to communicate and we weren't very good communicators, not at all."
Jill says she thought that Hunter's fatal diagnosis of Krabbe disease would lead to Jim staying home more, and traveling less, for television work, public appearances, and trips with his friends.
That, however, was not the case.
And in some of her journal entries that are included in the book, Jill doesn't hide her anger.
"We live under the same roof, but we live worlds apart, what a shame. I don't have time to focus on anything but the kids, especially Hunter," Jill wrote.
Jill, who became a Christian when Hunter was two years old, often prayed for herself, her husband, and her marriage.
"To me it looks helpless and hopeless, I think Jim needs you more than Hunter does," Jill wrote.
Without going into details, Jim admits that he was not faithful to Jill.
Scott Brown: "Would you say that you were not a good husband for a long time?"
Jim Kelly: "Oh yeah, I would say that without a doubt."
Following Hunter's death, Jill convinced Jim to begin marriage counseling with their pastor.
Jim Kelly: "I went through a time in my life where I knew I had to make changes in my life if I still wanted to have a family. I know that the ultimate is seeing my son someday being able to run in heaven and I knew that with the life I was living, I wasn't going to have that chance."
Jim says a few years ago, as he tried to change his ways and save his marriage, he too became a Christian.
Scott Brown: "Jim, people watching this and they hear Jim Kelly say 'he's a Christian, he's changed' and people roll their eyes, what do you say to them?"
Jim Kelly: "If people knew me from the past and haven't seen me in the last couple of years then they could probably say that because they don't know the Jim Kelly now. What counts is what's in our hearts, and the reality for me set in a few years back. I know it, that's all that counts, my wife knows it and the number one person, God knows it. I was strong enough to admit my mistakes, I've been forgiven and I'm a ten times better person than I was yesterday."
Scott Brown: "What is your message to other couples who say 'we don't talk, our marriage is over we're going to get divorced'?"
Jim Kelly: "Never give up. If we can get through this - the struggles that we had with a special needs child, anybody can do it. If you really want it to do it, it can happen, just never, ever quit. Do a lot of praying, that's what we did. And if you need help, seek help."
Jill says one of the reasons she wrote "Without A Word" was to send a message of hope to other couples.
Jill Kelly: "We want people to be in the place that we were at - as dark as it can get -because it got really, really dark, there's still light at the end of the tunnel."
Starting new week, the couple will be doing a number of book signings in Western New York:
* September 13, 7:00 p.m.

May 2, 2016
The Great Recession did more than just kill jobs; it reportedly also prompted Americans to have fewer children.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the US Birth Rate fell to another record low last year with just 63 births per 1000 woman of child bearing; ages 15 to 44-years-old.
It is the lowest birth rate since record-keeping back began in 1909. That could mean economic problems years from now with a shrinking labor pool and aging population.
Researchers say a major reason for the drop is also related to the economy. They say about 22 percent of couples noted money concerns which prompted them to have fewer children, or none at all.

When the white clapboard house in the tiny northern Colorado town of Carr went kaboom, the roof lifted off the top.
The chimney fell over. Windows blew out. Three people went to a hospital.
Rarely before has Colorado's explosion of interest in marijuana been demonstrated so literally.
A boy injured in the explosion said two men in the house were attempting to make "oil that you use to smoke weed," according to investigators. That makes the blast one of several to have occurred around the state in recent years by people manufacturing marijuana hash oil at home. The process often involves highly flammable chemicals, considerable risk and, as the Carr explosion shows, uncertain legality. Three people have been charged with felonies.
Fire officials across Colorado say they are concerned the state's new laws on marijuana will lead to more incidents.
"We don't encourage such a process," said Patrick Love, a spokesman for the Poudre Fire Authority, which has handled at least two explosions or fires related to hash oil production. "It not only endangers the person who's making it, but it could also endanger their neighbors."
Even marijuana advocates say at-home production of hash oil should be approached cautiously — though they believe authorities' fears of a house-explosion epidemic are overstated.
"You're using potentially dangerous chemicals," said Brian Vicente, one of the authors of Amendment 64, Colorado's marijuana legalization law.
Hash oil is gloopy, concentrated marijuana — think of it like pot jelly — and its main appeal is its potency. Concoctions can be more than 75 percent THC, the psychoactive chemical in marijuana, and users describe single hits of hash oil like smoking an entire joint all at once.
To make it, do-it-yourselfers typically pack marijuana into a slender pipe, then blow compressed butane gas through the pipe. The danger comes from the resulting butane fumes that float around the room. The less ventilated the space, the more dangerous it is.
"If there's any ignition source anywhere near it, like a pilot light, then you have problems," said Bill Maron, an investigator with West Metro Fire Rescue.
Last month, the Colorado Information Analysis Center — part of the state homeland security office — put out a bulletin warning officials about the dangers of home hash oil production. The bulletin noted two cases, a February home explosion in Lakewood and a July incident in Colorado Springs. News reports show there have been at least five more spanning several years, including the explosion in Carr and one each in Steamboat Springs and Breckenridge. Two incidents have occurred in Fort Collins — including one, in 2009, in which a man died from burns.
Marijuana businesses in Colorado are allowed to manufacture hash oil, but with strict requirements — such as ventilation hoods and a "professional grade, closed-loop extraction system," according to proposed new rules.
Though marijuana use and limited cultivation of marijuana is now legal for people over 21 in Colorado, there is considerable confusion about whether home hash oil production is legal, too.
In connection with the Carr explosion, three people have been charged with felonies under a state law that bans the production of marijuana concentrates. Vicente, though, said he believes Amendment 64's protection for "processing" of marijuana plants covers home hash oil production. A separate law allows local governments to ban the use of flammable chemicals in at-home marijuana cultivation.
Vicente said courts will likely have to settle the debate.

There is no denying it, you'll be the object of every one's eye, the center of the room, and the life of the party when you don one of these flashy 20s style ensembles this Halloween season.
If you take a look at our selection of Flapper outfits you'll discover that many of these dresses feature the same cut as well as style. Many of them are designed with rows of shimmering tassels that will sway back n' forth as you walk. We offer a variety of these types of dresses in many different colors such as black, white, red, and pink. Some accessories you'll find that pair with these dresses are sequin headbands that are adorned with large ostrich feathers, long feather boas, and thin cigarette holders. In addition to all these accessories another staple to the flapper girl look is thin stockings and opera length gloves.

Comments: We've ordered this office furniture three different times recently at over $1,000 per order to get the free shipping. Each piece has been perfect. All fit together as designed. All well made. One item was shipped incorrectly, excellent response. They even called to be sure that one odd item was not ordered by mistake, it wasn't and went with an order from several years ago. That desk is still in excellent condition and the new piece matched. Good value if you can avoid shipping.

Will Justin Timberlake Host the Oscars?
SETH MACFARLANE has already said he'll never host the Oscars again despite the fact that ratings were up so organizers are moving on too. There's now talk that JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE may host next year's Oscars.
--National Enquirer gossip columnist Mike Walker says, "He has been considered before, but they always thought he was too young and not seasoned enough. Now, he's the frontrunner for the job—after showing he knows how to sing, dance, act, host, and improvise on the spot."
Lindsay Lohan Showed Up Early to the Set of "Anger Management"
LINDSAY LOHAN started taping her guest appearance on CHARLIE SHEEN'S "Anger Management" yesterday, and get this: She was EARLY. Lindsay was supposed to be on set at 10:00 A.M., and she showed up at 9:00.
--Meanwhile, Lindsay is defending herself against reports that she was getting hammered at a club over the weekend.
--Lindsay was photographed leaving a place called 41 Ocean over the weekend. She was there to see her alleged boyfriend AVI SNOW and his band CITY OF THE SUN.
--But on her Facebook page, she posted the following explanation . . . quote,
1) It wasn't a nightclub. 41 Ocean is a members only dining club . . . and a private event.
2) It WAS Pellegrino!
3) The most important part . . . the band City of the Sun did any amazing job last night

--Macafee, of Albuquerque, was booked into jail last Friday and made his initial court appearance yesterday.
-- Other items reported taken from Cranston's car were an iPad, a shoulder bag and "miscellaneous personal items."
--A spokesman for the sheriff's department said none of the stolen items have been recovered but detectives were investigating the case.
Jay Leno "Hopes" Jimmy Fallon Replaces Him on "The Tonight Show"
JAY LENO is ALL FOR talking about his relationship with NBC on "The Tonight Show" . . . but apparently, he isn't as enthusiastic about discussing it with the paparazzi.
--When someone from "Extra" asked him if he would continue hosting "The Tonight Show" after his contract was up, Leno evaded it by making fun of how the question was asked.
--Then, when asked if JIMMY FALLON was going to replace him, Leno said, quote, "Well, I hope so!" And immediately walked away.
--Leno also ignored another question by pretending that he was talking . . . so it seemed like there was problems with the sound.

SUN-LIFE Is an NGO founded by Stephen Pearson, by building on his earlier experiences introducing solar cooking in Ghana. The focus has been producing low-cost cookers based on the CooKit design. Involvement of the local residents with the production of the cookers has provided a foundation for the success they have experienced in training and introducing others to solar cooking.
News and Recent Developments
- January 2014: Solar cooking works with solar lighting to help families save money - Stephen Pearson, founder of SUN-LIFE, has been helping residents of Ghana for many years save on cooking fuel expense by learning to use the CooKit solar cooker. His new goal is to help these families further reduce their kerosene usage by offering a low cost portable lamp to replace their fuel-burning lanterns. The new MiniSun12H lamp has an integrated photovoltaic panel to recharge the lamp during the day. The projected retail price for the lamp is $5 USD. His reasoning is; if a family can save on cooking fuel using the CooKit, then they will have enough money to be able to buy the new lamp. Using both approaches, the families should be able to save $50-100 USD on kerosene expense annually. Money is saved, and indoor air pollution is reduced. You can help him with this project by supporting his efforts at Indiegogo fund raising. You can learn more about the new lamp in this short video.
- May 2010: The SUN-LIFE sponsored Oven Festival was recently held in the Dangme East area of Ghana (80 miles east of Accra). Quite well attended, there were about sixty ovens on display, all locally made using the CooKit design. The oven components were salvaged and recycled from local materials. Only the aluminum foil, at a cost of $2/oven, needed to be purchased. The event was held in collaboration with the Community Directed Development Foundation, started by Professor Bosompem. Stephen Pearson was the only European present. Other guests included representatives from several government ministries. The festivities began with a procession of local "oven ladies" led by the local brass band. After introductions and speeches, there were competitions and prizes awarded for best oven, best recipes, best group, etc.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Pentagon says it's looking into concerns that the Obama administration may have given a Hollywood filmmaker too many details about the secret mission last May that killed Osama bin Laden.
The Pentagon inspector general's office covering intelligence has informed Rep. Peter King, who heads the House Homeland Security Committee, that it will investigate the Pentagon's release of information to filmmakers about the raid in Pakistan.
King, a New York Republican, says the CIA is also examining its future interactions with the entertainment industry.
King has questioned administration cooperation with Kathryn Bigelow, director of the Oscar-winning picture "The Hurt Locker." She's working on a movie about the hunt for Bin Laden.
The White House has denied discussing classified information.

MS011: Pokémon - Giratina and the Sky Warrior
this wiki
{{{japanese title}}}
Giratina is the sole Pokemon living in the Reverse World, a little-known realm adjacent to our own. Enraged when Dialga and Palkia disrupt time and space, it drags Dialga into the Reverse World for a battle--but the conflict is broken up by a tiny Shaymin, the Gratitude Pokemon!
After departing the Reverse World and meeting Ash and his friends, Shaymin--communicating telepathically--asks for help, so it can be reunited with the other Shaymin in the Gracidea garden.
Soon after Ash and his friends agree to assist Shaymin, they're dragged into the Reverse World and meet Newton Graceland, who's been researching the mysterious realm. Little do they know that Newton's former assistant, Zero, seeks to harness Giratina's power to rule the Reverse World, even if that means destroying the real world!
Can our heroes and their Pokemon thwart Zero's evil plans and protect both worlds? Will Giratina resolve its differences with Dialga? And what will Ash and his friends learn about that special Shaymin?

Businesses today are undertaking digital transformations, rethinking what customers value most and creating operating models that take advantage of what's newly possible for competitive differentiation. The challenge for business is how fast and how far to go.
Business leaders have long used information technology to improve productivity and efficiency, reach new markets and optimize supply chains. What's new is that customer expectations have also changed. People everywhere are using social networks to find jobs and restaurants, lost friends and new partners – and, as citizens, to achieve common political goals. They are using the Internet for entertainment, shopping, socializing and household management.
How can businesses best respond to this shift? How can they take advantage of the opportunity to innovate, differentiate and grow? And how can they do all this cost efficiently, leveraging and optimizing the newest information technologies as part of their overall physical operations? In our analysis of leading companies and our work with clients, we have found that companies with a cohesive strategy for integrating digital and physical elements can successfully transform their business models – and set new directions for entire industries.
These companies focus on two complementary activities: reshaping their customer value propositions and reconfiguring operating models using digital technologies for greater customer and partner interaction and collaboration. To do so, they are building a new set of capabilities that allows them to progress along both dimensions.
