Hasselblad H2D-39, the 39 megapixel digital camera



High-end Swedish camera manufacturer, Hasselblad have announced a 39 megapixel digital camera, the H2D-39. That's right: thirty nine million pixels. It is, of course, a dSLR camera but it features a new CCD sensor that is more than twice the size of a regular 35mm camera's sensor at 36.7mm x 49mm. Consider for a second that the 12.8MP Canon EOS 5D has a 35.8mm x 23.9mm CCD and you begin to appreciate how insane the H2D-39 really is. Hasselblad don't list a specific resolution on their website, but the H2D-39 is good for something in the order of 8000x5000 in round figures in order to produce 39 megapixel images. The basic camera starts at some US$32,000.
