Hasselblad Unveils High End H3DII-50 Pro DSLR Featuring Kodak 50 Megapixel Sensor

In the battle of the megapixels you may feel that your present camera, be it a compact or a full blown DSLR, is reasonably well specified but, whatever the model, it’s sensor resolution simply pales into insignificance in relation to the 50 megapixel 36 X 48mm Kodak sensor around which Hasselblad’s new, high-entry (and extremely desirable) H3DII-50 Pro DSLR is built which results in single images consuming a staggering 300 megabytes of storage capacity.

Due to become available sometime in October, Hasselblad’s new H3DII-50 will come with a total of three sensor options, the largest being the aforementioned 50 megapixel sensor with 31MP and 39MP sensors also being on offer and, should you be interested in availing yourself of one of these beasts, we would suggest that you either start saving now or consider selling your house/car/children as the H3DII-50 is expected to retail for around a breath taking $37,000.

We so want one and we’ll so never be able to afford it – which reminds me, I must do the Lotto this week.
