The Hasselblad H4D-200MS

I recently had the pleasure of getting to play with a H4D-200MS. This camera is just unreal the quality and excellence of the hasselblad range is obvious however the ease of uses and just captureable detail is simply stunning. If you dont know 200 megapixels, 200, its just crazy. This camera is actually a 50MP body with MS (multishot) capability, recording 1, 4 (High Detail 50mp) or 6 shot (200mp) images. For more info or details on the H4D-200MS see Hasselblad's website. Please enjoy these images from the camera, for more images and some info from the Hasselblad website catch more info after the jump.
