Hasselblad has announced the 503CWD - a digital back for the Hasselblad 500 and 200 series. Quite exciting:
- 16 megapixels (4080x4080)
- 36.7mm x 36.7mm sensor (1.5x crop factor compared to 6x6 film)
- ISO 50, 100, 200, 400
- CF card I or II
- Battery: Sony InfoLithium L-NP-F
- 2.2" OLED rear display
The only problem -- the price... estimated at around $10,000 (with 503CW body).
The back itself is around $8000 (according to rumor). It'll be compatible with all 500 bodies as well as 200 bodies with C lenses. To use 200 series bodies in the focal plane shutter mode with F/CFE lenses, you'll have to have a small modification made to the body.
Isn't $10k, a bit low for Hasselblad?
I SO want one :)
