Summary:

The ultimate question, does new Hasselblad H4D worth it’s price ($28K + for the 50 megapixel version) the answer... it is definitely YES! Amazing dynamic range, huge resolution, precise focus and camera’s mechanics, lenses which are able to capture all that details: the new Hasselblad worth every penny Hasselblad’s family asking for it.

Exploring The Hasselblad H4D-50

Most high-end photography calls for shallow depth-of-field. The Hasselblad H4D-50 medium-format DSLR features a large sensor plus multiple pixels designed to give just that. The 50 also delivers extremely high resolution, perfect for use in high-end commercial photo shoots where the best performance and quality are always demanded.

Have A Look Inside Hasselblad H4D-50

Fine art, commercial and studio photographers will have a blast using the Hasselblad H4D-50 Digital SLR camera. It is built around 36.7 x 49.1mm CCD image sensor plus 16-bit color and 50Megapixel. This lets it capture the subtle details. Enhanced lens performance is achieved with the chip that has a lens factor of 1, with HCD and HC lenses. The 50 works well whether it is a high-fashion shoot or global travel photography. What is more, the 50 offers superior handling alongside high image quality.

People can work hooked to a computer (tethered), or outside (untethered) and store images on compact flash cards. Some 60 images can be stored in one 4GB card. Images captured can be viewed on the 3” double-resolution TFT 24-bit color LCD monitor or display.

True Focus with Absolute Position Lock (APL) is another feature of the 50. It makes auto-focus more accurate and easier. The camera boasts of wide ISO flexibility at 50-800, a 1/800th of a second in flash sync, and AF Assist Illumination for tackling dimly lit environments. Central lens shutters from Hasselblad are known for delivering consistency, reliability and speed.

Other options include Perspective Control and GPS modules, optics of 28mm wide angle all the way to 300mm telephoto. This is where you see the H-system way of providing full user customization without sacrificing quality. The H4D-50 comes with the 80mm f/2.8 lens already included. Together with the firm’s Phocus software, the 50 is considered a total digital image solution for everyone’s pro photography needs.

The SanDisk Extreme Pro cards have a 90MB/second read-write performance. It has rear uni-body housing that enhances local servicing. People can work with the H4D-50 while connected to a computer, or outside where alternative means for image storage are necessary as in compact flash cards. This way, you get the best of both worlds – a great camera system inside studios and on location. You also have the option of processing RAW images in the Hasselblad Phocus imaging toolbox or working with them directly on Adobe or Apple imaging applications.

The Phocus software makes for awesome capture, archive and processing capabilities in the H system. Phocus is able to control all camera shooting functions through FireWire 800 connection, including shutter speed, fine autofocus, ISO and aperture value. In terms of processing, this feature exceeds plain RAW conversion, allowing for chromatic irregularity, distortion and vignetting adjustments. The archiving functions like GPS tagging, folder creation and keyword generation add an organized professional look to a PC or Mac system.

At Hasselblad, they have the optional feature called Global Image Locator (GIL that is tasked with tagging GPS altitude, time and coordinates to all image files. This type of info is especially useful for follow-up assignments and location-specific apps. Direct image mapping with Google Earth is possible using the Phocus software that comes with the package.
