The long time announced Hasselblad H5D 50c, said to be world first medium format camera to use a CMOS sensor is finally on the catalogue of the manufacturer and available for pre-order on B&H website.

The other good surprise is the Hassy is about $10k more ‘affordable’ than its principal competitor, the Phase One IQ250, for a kit lens configuration.

Here is a quick summary of the long waited object of desire:

”

There is nothing dull about low light with the new H5D-50c

Low light situations offer some of the most beautiful and creative light and with the H5D-50c this camera is the embodiment of capture versatility.

High ISO performance

Due to the lower noise levels in the H5D-50c, you will be able to shoot at higher ISO values up to ISO 6400 and achieve incredible image clarity with perfect colours in any light.

Longer shutter speeds

The low noise levels from the H5D-50c will also enable longer shutter speeds of 12 minutes with an exposure time range as fast as 1/800s.

Faster capture rate

With a faster capture rate of 1.5 frames per second, you can keep on shooting without missing an opportunity.

14 f-stops dynamic range

Now there’s a higher dynamic range too. The new H5D-50c camera copes with even the highest contrast shooting scenarios thanks to its increased dynamic range of 14 f-stops. This will ensure extremely good detail and tonality in shadows and highlight areas.

Faster Live Video

With the faster read-out times of the CMOS, the H5D-50c will also enable you a faster Live Video function in Phocus and Phocus Mobile. The frame rate is set to 10-15 frames per second and you can benefit from the Live Video in colour.

We’ll make sure to have one of these in our hands soon for a quick overview and review of its performances.
