VR-Zone.com — Hasselblad 503CWD, 16MP, Limited Edition
At USD$ 14,000, this camera is not meant for the masses. The Hasselblad 503CWD is Hasselblad's 100th anniversary commemorative model. Featuring a 16 megapixel resolution, with a sensor size of 36.7cm squared, there will only be 500 of these cameras made world wide. Being a medium format camera, this machine is made for high end studio shots. "Designed around the classic Hasselblad 503, with Carl Zeiss Planar CFE 2.8/80 mm lens, 2.2-inch OLED display, FireWire 800 output and a 16 megapixel 36.7 x 36.7 mm sensor, the Hasselblad 503CWD may well be the most beautiful digital camera ever made. Of course, at about $ 14,000, it's not for everyone. Which may explain why Hasselblad is only making 500 of the cameras, to commemorate the 100th birthday of company founder Victor Hasselblad. No, this isn't a camera for carrying around to take candids of the kids. But if you've got the cash and long for a high-end studio digicam with a sense of history, get in line. Those 500 are probably going to go very quickly" |
