Gear: Hasselblad H5D 200c MS Creates 200-Megapixel Photos

Hasselblad

The sensor in the Hasselblad H5D-200c Multi-Shot Medium Format DSLR Camera is capable of churning out 200MP Images.

It has Wifi so you can control the camera and view images from an iPhone or iPad. You get all this and the price tag on this camera is at a very low cost of only $45,000.00.

It’s an understatement to say this camera is for the serious professional.

The Hasselblad H5D-200c takes still-life studio photography to mind blowing moirĂ© free 200Mpix resolution. Six shot ‘microstep technology’ takes maximum advantage of everything the HC lenses have to offer, which is a very great deal in itself, and combines it with the latest CMOS capabilities to produce a quality that is hard to believe is possible. From fine cars to miniature artworks and from delicate fabrics to diamonds or quite simply where only the best reproduction is acceptable the 200Mpix multi-shot image offers true color and moirĂ© free capture, providing an astonishing level of detail.

New CMOS sensor

The H5D-200c MS features a brand new CMOS sensor measuring 43.8 x 32.9mm – almost twice the physical size of the largest 35mm DSLR sensors. Basic ISO rating is from ISO 100 to ISO 6400. The high sensitivity of the new sensor enables completely new application areas for all professional medium format photographers. It is now totally possible to capture super high quality images even at high ISO settings making low light photography easy. This high sensitivity and fast capture speed together with the high dynamic range of 14 stops makes this camera a true all-round camera that can be used for almost any type of photography. The H5D-200c MS is built around a high speed architecture that can capture full resolution images at the rate of 1.5 captures per second, working either mobile or tethered to a computer.

Electronic spirit level
The H5D-200c MS has an integrated electronic spirit level to make it easy to produce a straight horizon. The spirit level is shown both in the viewfinder and on the rear LCD. You therefore don’t need to take your eye from the viewfinder to check camera alignment.

Camera info on rear LCD
To improve visibility in certain situations, the rear LCD can now show a copy of the camera grip LCD where you see all relevant shooting information.

Hasselblad’s unique natural colors

Hasselblad’s Natural Color Solution (HNCS) enables you to produce outstanding and reliable out-of-the-box colors, with skin tones, specific product colors and other difficult tones reproduced easily and effectively. In order to incorporate the unique HNCS and DAC- features they have developed a custom Hasselblad raw file format called 3F RAW (3FR). This file format includes lossless image compression, which reduces the file size by 33%. The 3FR files can be opened directly in Apple or Adobe imaging environments.

Two modes of operation and storage

The H5D-200c MS offers a choice of storage devices: CF cards or a computer hard drive. With these operating and storage options, you are able to select a mode to suit the nature of the work in hand, whether in the studio or on location.

Accessories including GPS Recording Flexibility

Hasselblad’s Global Image Locator (GIL) is an accessory for use with any Hasselblad H-System digital capture product. With the GIL device, all images captured outdoors are tagged with GPS coordinates, time and altitude. This data provides the key to a number of future applications involving image archiving and retrieval. One example is the direct mapping of images in Phocus software to the Google Earth application

Phocus for professional level workflow

Phocus provides an advanced software toolbox that has been especially designed to easily achieve optimum workflow and absolute image perfection from Hasselblad raw image files.
