Hasselblad Unveils H6D With 4K Video
7 April 2016
Hasselblad has announced its H6D medium format camera with 100-Mp and 50-Mp options that features 4K video, a 3.0-inch touch screen, WiFi, USB 3.0, HDMI and dual card slots. But the H6D is not just about features.
"The launch of the H6D range is the beginning of a year of celebration for Hasselblad," Hasselblad CEO Perry Oosting said. "It's fitting that we have returned to our pinnacle medium format camera to showcase the innovation and passion that have been present in every one of our first 75 years.
"Our obsessive approach to optical quality and precision hand building in Sweden is at the heart of this camera. We have retained the best and introduced the most relevant, delivering a medium format camera which we believe the Hasselblad user will fall in love with all over again."
The H6D line-up includes the H6D-100c with CMOS sensor, a 100-Mp option, and the H6D-50c with a 50-Mp CMOS sensor. A wider range of shutter speeds from 60 minutes to 1/2,000 of a second, increased ISO range and a faster shooting rate along with USB 3.0 Type-C connector. The H lens line-up is fully compatible and, with the choice of a faster shutter speed, can be further leveraged than with previous models, the company said.
The H6D-100c brings 4K video capability to medium format. The high-definition rear touchscreen LCD delivers a pin sharp live view experience and WiFi as standard, a HDMI connector, for external monitor connectivity, completes the tool set.
Built-in dual card slots include a CFast slot allows for high-speed capture and an SD card slot.
The H6D-100c is $322,885 while the H6D-50c is $25,995. For more information see the news release below.
Hasselblad launches an all new medium format camera
75 years at the forefront of imagery, Hasselblad continues to innovate
Hasselblad began its journey when founder, Victor Hasselblad, refused to simply copy an aerial surveillance camera at the request of the Swedish government who asked him if he had the skills to produce a camera identical to one that had been captured. He famously said, "No, but I can make a better one." The camera maker has once again, followed Victor's philosophy and applied it to the award winning H medium format camera, launching the all new H6D.
Rather than an improvement on the existing medium format H Cameras, the H6D range has been completely rebuilt with new technical components and an all new electronic platform. The pioneering range retains the modularity appreciated by medium format enthusiasts along with iconic design elements and Swedish handmade quality for which Hasselblad is renowned.
The H6D range introduces the H6D-100c with CMOS sensor, a 100-Mp option and the H6D-50c with a 50-Mp CMOS sensor. A wider range of shutter speeds from 60 minutes to 1/2000th of a second, increased ISO range and a faster shooting rate along with USB 3.0 Type-C connector that delivers exceptionally fast file transfer. The H lens range is fully compatible and, with the choice of a faster shutter speed, can be further leveraged than with previous ranges.
The H6D-100c brings 4K video capability to medium format. The high-definition rear touchscreen LCD delivers a pin sharp live view experience and WiFi as standard, a HDMI connector, for external monitor connectivity, completes the tool set.
Built-in dual card slots allow enhanced media capability; a CFast slot allows for high-speed capture and an SD card slot enables maximum compatibility. The all new platform is capable of handling the largest file throughput with speed and ease using optimized algorithms for matchless quality.
Hasselblad's image processing software, Phocus, has been enhanced with the new 3.0 version delivering additional features that allow you to apply local adjustments in the image and a new graphical interface that improves work flow and user experience.
