Hasselblad H3DII-50H3DII-50Hasselblad has announced theH3DII-50, its latest medium format camera and back. The H3DII-50 is the same camera as before, it's really the back that's new. The news is, obviously, that this back features a standard sized 36X48mm with a new 50 Megapixel Kodak sensor. Hasselblad is indicating delivery in Q1 2009.

The company is currently offering a promotion, till the end of September, in which if you buy a H3DII-39 now you can receive a free lens of your choice and an upgrade to a H3DII-50 when it becomes available for the difference in list price between the two backs.

Obviously there's little more to be said about the back itself and what can be expected in terms of performance and image quality until test samples are available.
