Hasselblads 200 megapixel H4D-200MS camera now shipping, breaks your bank

Hasselblad’s H4D-200MS is one more upgrade to its H4D camera line that we would like badly, but should not have a necessity — or the cheap — for. This latest piece of apparatus is almost the image of the 50 megapixel H4D-50MS externally, but internally adds an astonishing 150 more megapixels to the combination — yes, that’s an astounding 200 megapixels! Do not feel forgotten just yet when you’ve got the older model, though, as Hasselblad can upgrade your sensor for €7,000 (roughly $10,000) — a good deal considering the entire kit costs €32,000 (about $45,000). With that said, we should always note that details are null at the medium-format sensor’s native resolution — a bit like the multi-shot feature at the 50MS, the brand new 200MS combines six shots to create ridiculously detailed 200 megapixel still images, and it handles less intensive photos with a four-shot 50 megapixel still mode. Do you have to dare to venture outside the studio, there is a 50 megapixel single-shot live mode for fast shots in addition. Excuse us while we wrap our heads across the sheer choice of pixels; you could find more info after the break meanwhile.

Hasselblad Launches the hot H4D-200MS

25/05/2011 Hasselblad’s latest multi-shot camera, which delivers unprecedented 200 megapixel files, is currently shipping. Upgrades for H4D-50MS cameras also are available.

After careful testing for stability and color accuracy, the H4D-200MS – first announced at Photokina last September – is now available. In keeping with the H4D-50MS platform, the recent camera is in a position to creating 200 megapixel files for the final word in resolution.

Since 2000, Hasselblad has continuously developed its multi-shot technology. In 2008, the corporate announced the 1st integrated multi-shot camera – the H3DII-39MS – which was followed more recently by the H4D-50MS. As one more development of the H4D-50MS technology, the H4D-200MS utilizes Hasselblad’s patented piezo frame module, which now captures 6 shots and combines them into an astounding 200 megapixel file.

Designed for studio photographers whose work requires the last word in resolution, extremely ins and outs and exact color information, the H4D-200MS is right for capturing images of stationary items comparable to cars, jewelry, artwork and other high end products where there’s no room for compromise in image quality. Along with its extended multi-shot capabilities, the H4D-200MS offers standard multi-shot and single-shot modes in addition. Naturally, this extraordinary capture device offers the entire benefits of the H4D family of cameras consisting of True Focus, Ultra Focus and Digital Lens Correction, to call just some.

The H4D-200MS is out there now for 32.000 Euro (plus tax). H4D-50MS owners have the opportunity of upgrading their systems for 7.000 Euro (plus tax) by sending the camera to the factory in Copenhagen, Denmark. While the camera is being converted, the service team will ensure that the firmware and hardware is updated with the intention that the piezo modules’ strict tolerances, that are necessary for precise multi-shot capture, are met.
