Hasselblad Launches World's First 48mm Full-Frame DSLR Camera System

Hasselblad is today firmly positioning itself as the pre-eminent  
provider of high-end digital cameras with the launch of the  
Hasselblad H3D, the world's first 48mm full-frame DSLR camera system.  
The H3D is the result of Hasselblad's strategy of taking photographic  
flexibility and image quality to new levels, as yet unseen in any  
competing product. When compared with high-end 35mm DSLRs, the H3D  
delivers unmatched pixel resolution, better colors and detail  
rendering and a new choice of viewfinders for creative image  
composition. In comparison with digital backs, the H3D delivers image  
quality with a higher level of detail and true sharpness thanks to  
Hasselblad's Digital APO Correction (DAC) and the advances of its new  
Ultra-Focus functionality. The H3D's full-frame concept offers unique  
control of image composition and with its new 28mm lens, the H3D  
allows photographers for the first time ever to take wide angle shots  
on a 36 x 48mm sensor.

U.S. MSRP Pricing is as follows:

H3D-22: $26,995
H3D-39: $31,995
