Hasselblad creates 40 megapixel H4D-40 medium format camera, wants $20k for it
February 3, 2010
Tough though it may be to believe, Hasselblad’s 39 megapixel H3D II actually came out in 2007. Yeah, last decade. In other words, it’s about time we saw a true successor hit the market, and with PMA just about ready to get going in Anaheim, the bold and beautiful H4D-40 is making its grand entrance. Boasting a 40 megapixel sensor, this medium format behemoth — which we spotted in a leak late last month — also features a “True Focus” AF system and ships with an 80mm lens and a viewfinder. The kit is said to be shipping now across the globe for $19,995 (or €13,995 / £12,995 on that side of the pond), which should make choosing between a new shooter and a public college education remarkably difficult.

Mamiya’s DM22 is a medium format digital camera for the Walmart type at sub-$10k pricepoint
October 23, 2009
It can’t be easy being the cost-cutter in a game as insanely expensive as digital medium format cameras, but after teaming up with Phase One for a $5990 medium format shooter (without lens), Mamiya is taking its own crack at the market with the $9,995 DM22. It comes with a Mamiya 80mm f/2.8 D Series lens, has a 22 megapixel sensor and can pump images straight out over FireWire if you think your RAW files are too good for a lowly CompactFlash card. It’s also being introduced with a $14,990 sibling, the DM28, which has a 28 megapixel sensor and handles higher ISO shots.
