Price Paid:  $0.00 from B&H

Summary:

Please don't listen to Cristian! Iv been using this camera since December 07 and i have to say that at first I wasn't sure about it. I loved the idea but just wasn't sure about its practicality. However after using it for many different shoots and situations my view has completely changed! this camera is like a classic car that has been re-built with all new parts! you just love using it! it gets under you skin!

All in all..
If your looking for a camera with heritage that is always there when you need it, a camera with unbeatable quality, amazing build quality, this is your baby!

Strengths:

I'v used Canon 1D MK2 's, Canon 5D, 350D, 20D, 30D, 40D, i own a 1D MK III and my hassy is by far the best in terms of image quality! as for build quality it is by far the best looking Digital camera ever made!!

Weaknesses:

Disappointments: Crop factor, Quality of the screen on the digital back is very poor.

Similar Products Used:

Hasselblad H-39D & H-22D
Canon 1D MK2 's, Canon 5D, 350D, 20D, 30D, 40D, i own a 1D MK III

Customer Service:

Customer service form Hasselblad is second to none!

Review 2 of 2

Price Paid:  $0.00

Summary:

I bought this camera as my intro into the Digital Medium format category. It is a Hasselblad at an amazing price, what could beat that? Practically everything out there can.

My experience has been awfull. The digital back fails to meet up to expectations, I have shot with other digital backs since and the capture quality is mediocre at best. It constantly fails and I have had to re-install the firmware. I have had to do it now four times since I purchased it earlier this year. The grain/noise in the dark areas is unavoidable even shooting at mid day if you set the iso any higher than 100. Dots as big as golf balls.

Stay away from this product unless you are looking to be disappointed.
