Hasselblad has today unveiled details of its new high-end Hasselblad H5D camera, that will soon be available in 40, 50, and 60 megapixel versions, as well as 50- and 200-megapixel Multi-Shot variants.
The Hasselblad H5D camera builds on the previous H4D camera, but has extra features, including a new True Focus II autofocus system, the ability to capture print-ready JPEG files, and enhanced larger controls, to name a few.
Enhanced Features and Capabilities
Other features of the Hasselblad H5D camera include improved weather protection and sealing, and a safety lock, to lock the image sensor in place, when required. These enhancements ensure that the camera is more durable and reliable in various shooting conditions, making it an ideal choice for professional photographers who often work in challenging environments.
In addition to these physical improvements, the H5D also boasts an upgraded electronic system that enhances its overall performance. The new True Focus II autofocus system is particularly noteworthy, as it provides more accurate and faster focusing, which is crucial for capturing sharp images in dynamic situations. The ability to capture print-ready JPEG files directly from the camera is another significant upgrade, streamlining the workflow for photographers who need quick turnaround times without sacrificing image quality.
New Accessories and Lenses
In the details released today, Hasselblad also announced a new macro converter, which has been designed to bring close-focus abilities to the company’s HC 50, HCD 28, and HC 35 lenses. This macro converter is a valuable addition for photographers who specialize in macro photography, allowing them to capture intricate details with exceptional clarity.
Alongside the macro converter, Hasselblad introduced a new lens, the HCD 4.8/24, a 24mm wide-angle lens. This lens is perfect for landscape and architectural photography, offering a broader field of view and superior optical performance. The combination of the H5D camera and these new accessories and lenses provides photographers with a versatile and powerful toolkit to tackle a wide range of photographic challenges.
Hasselblad will be showcasing their new H5D camera next week at the Photokina trade show in Cologne, Germany. This event is one of the largest and most prestigious photography trade shows in the world, making it the perfect venue for Hasselblad to introduce their latest innovations to the public and industry professionals.
