I suppose the problem with a camera of this sort of price is if one is commercially successful enough as a photographer to be able to afford one of these, you already know you don’t need one. lol I suppose there also ways of getting more mega pixels even out of quite modestly priced digital cameras, on rare occasions where more are needed e.g. by stitching multiple images together even interpolating multiple images. So one could get around the limitations of even quite cheap cameras. 🙂
@Diablovtpa Yep. You guys that say you are taking great photos are probably right, its just that you wouldn’t be able to blow it up with APS-C cropped sensors. These medium format beasts can be put on billboards. The small format ones can’t
@INS1977 As the pixels increases so does the clarity of the photo. Still if I could afford it, I’d buy one, but this camera is too rich for my blood.
@4funky1 Yes, I’d like to rent one for a bit just to see how it works and the quality. I have fantastic Alaska photos taken with a Canon 40D. I’d get the 7D, but don’t like the idea of having video as part of the camera. Would prefer to have them add another pixel or two than video.
@Miscellaneousviidz I agree. I’ve been using a Canon 40D for some time and I get some great scenic shots since that is what I am interested in. I want to get a 7D as well, but I don’t like the idea of video being part of the camera. I’d like to see them add an additional pixel or two rather than video. That’s why I have a cam corder. I have a Hasselblad 500CM and use it as much as I can.
I like how the two top rated comments are completely opposite.
@QwAdr0x256 no that’s why he talked about apple. he is jealous that iphone’s camera is better than their cameras! XD
I don’t know, when you think about technological value, you could buy a good car or a camera.
I think a ton of people would rather have a car than a camera
Sony A55 ftw
@Miscellaneousviidz No clue what you are talking about, are you?
@Miscellaneousviidz
And your SMART is equal to a Ferarri. Yes, dream on.
Ahhhhhh….30,000 dollar camera…….that’s more than a down payment on a house. That’s an average person’s yearly salary.
Nonetheless, if you can afford it, and you want the best quality photo’s you can possibly have, then buy this beast.
@Miscellaneousviidz
dont worrie, youll get that itch when u want it 😀
It may be top of the line but it dont look it, i dont care for the cosmetics, i like the d3 family better in terms of cosmetics
@evensteven66 Some people do put their stuff on billboards though.
@Vamp1963 street photography doesn’t require model release
@evensteven66 You can do a billboard on a 8 Mp camera DSLR…
Probably you are one of the few.
am i the only person in the world that doesn’t get excited about hasselblad? So what if it has massive megapixel. some of the most amazing pictures i have ever seen were taken on basic cameras. i dont want my photos on a billboard, and i’m not wowed by the fact that I can zoom in like crazy in photoshop. these kinds of things are only good for showing off, nothing else.
he moves like a secret agent
Actually it is 14.000 Euro (20.700 USD), so maybe you are interested to buy 2.
43000 us dollars
Great! One picture taken by him!
At least they could promote the actual pictures taken with the camera. I was watching this hoping to see a photograph, but then only one.

If you can give an email I will send you the link where to download the raw file
I want a raw file from this “shhoting” if you can find a server to send it….(I can understand that amateurs such as myself get excited over 40 megapix but cannot stomach it when known pro’s can be bought to peddle that amount of info on a shot that will be seen from 200 yards away on a bill board where it does not matter if its 20 or 40 megs…hey steve don’t tell me you did it pro bono….
the instrument played at the beginning and at 3:09 is the hang drum i think. and its a beautiful instrument.
need it but expensive :p
@NLS87 photographers sometimes need more resolution, nikon can’t offer what hasselblad can on that term.
