If you had $25K … would you buy a car or a high-end 4K medium-format camera? (Is that the right question to ask?) Anyway, if you’re a photo enthusiast with cash to splash … take a look at this incredibly insane camera!

“Hasselblad held events around the world to celebrate its 75th anniversary and its new H6D medium-format system, putting the $26,000 (£17,900) 50-megapixel H6D-50c in the hands of the press for brief, supervised shooting sessions. I’ll admit to a brief, supervised bout of giddiness, even though it seemed like the camera took an immediate dislike to me.
The company launched its H5D series of medium-format camera backs almost 4 years ago, with the last update — a 50-megapixel back with Wi-Fi — about two years later. The H6D has a similar body design, but with new electronics on the inside. It launches with two backs: the H6D-50c and the 100-megapixel H6D-100c. The latter can shoot 4K video, a first for medium format.”
