Hasselblad is to launch what it calls "the world's first 50MP medium format camera using CMOS sensor technology" in March 2014.
Ove Bengtson, Hasselblad Product Manager said: "This pioneering 50 megapixel CMOS sensor camera is based on our H5D-50 model but will offer a faster capture rate; longer shutter speed capability and much greater ISO performance. It will provide greatly improved Live Video in Phocus and will also be available with Multi-Shot functionality."
Hasselblad's new CEO Ian Rawcliffe said: "This is a world-first and underpins Hasselblad's status at the forefront of camera technology. It will be the first of a number of medium format capture innovations we have planned for the coming months."
...a Sony chip inside?
ReplyDeleteAccording to a popular rumor site Phase One will anounce on Friday new digital back with a 50 MP CMOS. Coincidence I don't think so. One of them or maybe both have switched suppliers, who is it Dalsa, Truesense or someone else? CMOSIS stoled a win for Leica M240 but it's still not even half of the medium format sensor. Sony very unlikely they don't play low volume games.
ReplyDeleteSince the fabrication of such a large CMOS needs stitching proficiency, I would imagine the sensor is designed by a party which uses the same fab CMOSIS uses for the Leica M240 sensor already for their productions. I agree with disign that Sony is not a produces for low volume products.
ReplyDeleteIf I had to guess, I'd say CMOSIS and the same pixel design and pitch M240 has, just a bit over twice the sensor size.
Shock and awe it's a Sony - at least the one in phase, but i really doubt that they are different - http://www.digitaltransitions.com/blog/dt-blog/phase-one-iq250-11-things-to-know
ReplyDeleteVery interesting sensor!
Also confirmed by luminous-landscape interview with phase one, the phase 645DF+ sensor is made by sony http://www.luminous-landscape.com/reviews/cameras/iq250_back_announced.shtml
