Photographer Bip Mistry , a Vaultarian, recently had a demonstration of the Hasselblad HD3 39 megapixel camera. All the technical details are available on their website so here are few thoughts from Bip on the camera:
- the H3D with a standard lens is really nice to handle, not bulky or heavy as a mamiya rb67 for example.
- the image in the viewfinder looks so big that you feel like you are in the scene!
- a number of configurations for working the buttons and functions of the camera lets you find the best way to use it for yourself.
- the 28mm lens is a delight with software in the camera to correct the distortion.
- exceptional image quality as you'd expect.
- crystal clear images.
- maybe i should ask Hasselblad for a job!
So, we have 8, 10, 12, 16 megapixel (35mm) DSLR cameras. There is a gap and then we have 22, 31 and 39 megapixel digital backs. All the smaller megapixel users should consider checking out a digital back. As most photographers have a good idea about the difference between 35mm and medium/large format film they should understand (and see) the same in the digital world.
Understanding the difference is one thing, bridging the finacial gap is another. If you can't afford to buy you can always rent from various caompanies in London. Some of thse companies will be featured on this blog soon.
