Anybody have a guess on the price?
B+H has the H2d at $27K! 22 Meg http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/cont...goryNavigation
Guess this baby will be over 40K!

I guess $1000 per mp.

The strange thing is that you'll still have magazine editors that will want film instead of an image produced from this camera.

I think I saw that it was right at 30k..

I've got 8 of them ordered. One for each day of the week and one for my 8 year old son!



Yea Right! If I even tried to put one of those on my Visa they would have me arrested! That thing will probably cost 25times the cost of my first car

That size of file? Actually I though every 2 seconds or so was pretty fast. THIS AIN'T NO SPORTS PHOTOGRAPHERS CAMERA but a fine art studio baby!

I want one :(

I can't wait until someone over at dpreview buys one so they can take pictures of their cat or kids. And then gripes about the high noise at ISO 64,000.

Well I talked to one of the Hasselblad Reps at the EXPO and the camera is around $28,000! When it hits the showroom floors they are going to be doing a TRADE IN CREDIT for any Blad Digital Back-working or not-of $5,000 bringing the unit down to $23,000 range.
I think he said any medium format digital back no matter what brand but I wouldn't swear to it but I do know for sure the Blad backs.

Time to get on Ebay and Buy up dead Blad Backs-now if I could just afford the $24K (taxes of course)! What's a kidney in India go for nowdays? Mine are only slightly abused.
