Hasselblad 50MP CMOS H5D-50c available worldwide March 7th, 2014.
The Hasselblad H5D-50c – a groundbreaking medium format camera using CMOS image sensor technology – represents a huge leap forward in camera development and will allow photographers to shoot with the ultimate in image quality, regardless of lighting conditions. The extremely good high-ISO performance will lift available light photography to new heights and significantly widen the usability of the Hasselblad H System cameras.
The camera is backed by a lens range of 12 extremely high performance lenses – outperforming even the iconic Carl Zeiss lenses of the classic V System. The H5D-50c has been developed with one goal: to produce the best image quality possible. The result is stunning and paired with the user-friendliness and wealth of functionality, it is probably one of the best cameras we have ever designed. Pick it up, feel the grip, look through the viewfinder and you will have a hard time putting it down.

New CMOS sensor
The Hasselblad H5D-50c features a brand new CMOS sensor measuring 43.8 × 32.9mm – much larger than the largest 35mm DSLR sensors. The basic ISO rating is from ISO 100 to ISO 6400 and 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 superb 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 a true all-round camera that can be used for almost any type of photography.
The H5D-50c 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. The combination of these features makes the H5D-50c the natural choice for the professional photographer wanting to work with the ultimate in image quality whether working in the studio with controlled lighting or on location.
Improved handling
Many new features have been added to the H5D-50c to make using the camera even easier than before. This includes the option to use the grip controls to control settings and operation of the sensor unit. You can control zoom, browsing and menu selection without taking your hand off the grip. The Profile handling feature allows you to store complete camera settings in memory for easy access. Seven different camera set-ups can be stored and settings from both the body and sensor unit are stored in the profile and these profiles can easily be managed through Phocus software.
