Hasselblad's answer to S2

is most probably volks-Hasselblad H4D. Less modular means no separate back, sensor size 38 x 46 and shutterless CMOS!? Drives cost down a lot! I heard that shutterless design is going to be used in new Lumix camera. Getting rid of mechanical shutter is losing last mechanical part from the cam. makes camera more reliable and lot of cheaper.

More details coming but extremely short version

 

Kodak TRUESENSE design CCD which is based on the 50MP except with the very useful addition of microlenses, giving 100-1600 ISO.

So far as I can tell (at the moment - 1 leaked partial picture), it is still the same old boxy Hassy D package. Certainly a nice price and some improvement to ISO performance, but if one is looking at the S2 for the form factor, I don't see that the H4D-40 changes that equation much.

 

More likely a reponse to Mamiya's aggresive "entry-level"pricing - sub-$10,000 with lens for 22 Mpixels.

That's wrong. This is apparently the price for the H3D-31.

 

I think it is about 19k or slightly more , I see 13995 euro floating around with the new 40 . I did question that price to Hassy also because it said starting at which the H31 is the first in there lineup . I will have the correct price for the H4d 40 tomorrow in all currencies. Remember this is body, back and 80mm lens in the prices

On my question of price

 

Hey Guy,

 

Looks like you beat me to it!

 

More details over the next few days. Ill put up €,£,$ pricing tomorrow when I am back to the office.

 

But yes, essentially an H4D40.

 

The interesting this is this is the Kodak TRUESENSE design CCD which is based on the 50MP except with the very useful addition of microlenses, giving 100-1600 ISO.

 

So think 50MP benefits with extra sensitivity. It is a really really nice sensor. Personally I like this combination a lot.

Looks to be the same Kodak 6 micron sensor as the S2

Year, it's kind of the same (big) Hasselblad but with a smaller sensor and price.

 

Price is 15,269 £ incl. UK VAT.

 

Well, it's an answer to the S2. Whatever the question was.

 

Hasselblad H4D-40 DSLR - 339-995A -

 

I believe, that when Hasselblad told about "more integrated", shutterless cam in coming years , they didn't think H4D, but entirely new camera.

Just like Phase they needed to get away from the Kodak 31 mpx sensor since most likely that will be discounted at some point. Same with there 39 and Phase P45 sensors. Changing of the guard or more to the point new sensor tech in these 40 mpx sensors. Besides all that this gets Hassy down to 2 basic sensors 40,50 Kodak 60 Dalsa. For Phase pretty much Dalsa in P40 and P65. Although the 31mpx is still around as well as the 39 mpx sensors they are most likely letting stock run out. Also doing this brings costs down making use of one sensor basic style into 2 backs. P40 is a P65 cut down. Most likely this H40 is a cut down version of the H50. Now Hassy looks to have added micro lenses on the 40. Phase P40 does not have micro lenses . This also will affect use of tech cams and only the Phase will be able to work with them on the 40 mpx without color fringing. Still not sure on the Hassy 40 with tech cams but from past experience myself with micro lenses the answer is a no go especially with Kodak sensors. Dalsa sensors do not require micro lenses to gather light.

 

Interesting how the Kodaks and Dalsa's and the technology behind them are made but that is a whole different thread and frankly way to geeky. LOL

 

The bottom line is the S2 and Hassy 40 are kissing cousins. Both Kodak 6 micron and both use micro lenses and both basically have the same ISO range although Hassy has expanded that some 100 to 1600 . S2 160-1250 also a pull 80

...Shutter speed range: 256 seconds to 1/800 second...

 

 

I'm curious as to why "only" 1/800 as fastest shutter speed in Hassy's? Is this because they're primarily designed for studio work? The S2's 1/4000 seems to offer more options. Ditto PhaseOne/Mamiya 645DF offering 1/4000 too. Is this to do with shutter / lens design? If so, just seems odd that Hasselblad's fastest shutter speed is 1/800th.

 

I know very little about MF though, so any info appreciated!

 

Thanks,

Jay
