I found news on a new back on this

http://forum.getdpi.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1666

and several other forums.

It looks like the back has the same sensor but better screen and filter. Good to see that they don't drop their V-Sytem yet, but why not an (now old) 22 mp sensor, Hasselblad must have some on these on the shelves (they proobably have some 16MP sensors left too;-) ). A CVF II 22mp for under 9999 Euro seems reasonable for me and would get a lot of amateurs to digital MF. It's a missed oprtunity IMHO. Well, let's wait for the official announcement in the coming days.

I would imagine that as far as 22megapixel near-full frame digital backs are concerned, Hasselblad would prefer to direct customers to buy an H3D2-22mp instead of a Hasselblad V system. Don't get me wrong - I'm on V-mount too, and I'd love to see V-mount backs... oh wait... in that case they'd just tell me to buy a CF22 in V-mount...

Still, it's really good to see that they are still supporting the chrome V's and that there apparently is still a market for it. It would be interesting to know how the CFV, CFV-II and P20+ backs do against the Mamiya ZD back in the market.
