Hasselblad Unveils the 100MP H6D-100c Medium Format Monster

April 7, 2016 By Eric Reagan

Hasselblad H6D-100c

The Hasselblad H6D-100c is a new 100MP medium format camera. It uses Sony’s 100MP CMOS sensor inside, which measures 53.4 x 40mm (compared to the 36 x 24mm sensors we see in “full frame” DSLRs). It will also be available in a 50MP option.

As the first H6D model, it ushers in a new platform to follow the H5D series. The H6D has a new 3-inch, 920k-dot resolution touchscreen display, USB 3.0 Type-C, CFast and SD card slots and WiFi connectivity for use with iOS devices.

Hasselblad touts the H6D’s 16-bit color capable of capturing up to 15-stops of dynamic range. Additionally, the H6D-100c can capture 4K and 1080 HD video, while the H6D-50c is limited to 1080p.

The updated camera doesn’t come cheap though. The Hasseblad H6D-100c retails for $32,995, while the H6D-50c retails for $25,995. Both models should ship in June and are available for pre-order here at B&H Photo.

    I was getting out my credit card and then I read that the WiFi was for iOS. That stinks.

    I wish I could afford this. I love medium format, but cannot justify at all…
    This may be the closest digital option to a 70mm film camera that someone could actually maybe purchase. RED is getting close and Phantom is sort of there, but much different camera for a different purpose. The Arri Alexa 65 (6k) and Panavision are rental only.

    Let’s see now – we’ll need one in Black, one in Silver – and one in a 200 Metre waterproof housing with integrated umbilical connection to a matching rebreather – plus all the lenses from wide-angle to 1000mm tele-zoom… And filters, flashguns & leather cases to match.
    That takes care of the lottery winnings…!

    Tens of thousands of dollars more than a good used Hasselblad will cost you. Do I want one? Of course but I don’t know why. Many incredible images have been made with so much less.
