Hasselblad's new H2 and H2D

It's closing in on a year since Hasselblad did up their H1D 22 megapixel 40GB monster digital camera, and now they're back with a vengeance on the H2 and H2D. We're hard up for the major differences, but from what we can tell it's the same 22 megapixel goodness, but now with DNG (Digital Negative) support, and the incorporation of Ixpress CFH digital backs. Estimated price: a new wing to your house.

Hi,

Awesome blog you got here.
I love the products you show case on this blog.

But, where in God's name do you find these products?

It is like nothing I have ever seen.

C'mon guys, Google Talk has been out for half an hour already and you're still not on top of it?

what's the big deal about google talk?
this beats that anyday.

A friend of mine has the previous model and the pictures are like nothing I�ve ever seen. I don�t think you can take a bad picture with that camera.

i asked peter and he said that googletalk isnt a gadget and thus will not grace the html of engadget. he said that "we've let the site drift a bit and we're trying to keep it more focused now". sorry if i let the cat out of the bag peter, but the public is clamoring for googletalk news.

this camera is out of control by the way. my 2mp camera has been more than enough for a few years, im not sure what to do with 22mp.

The public can easily find Google Talk news, they certainly don't need our take on it: http://news.google.com/news?q=google%20talk&hl=en&hs=Dld&lr=lang_en&c2coff=1&safe=off&client=opera&rls=en&sa=N&tab=wn
Is about 2,000 articles enough?

Best,
Ryan

If you don't control your color space and workflow, you can certainly get a bad picture of a camera like this.

The way housing prices are going, this camera is looking cheaper all the time.

"Early on, the goal was set at 1,000 megapixels. However, as technology has advanced, the bar has been raised to 4,000 megapixels; a figure that we expect to reach within the next several months."

What's this about 40GB? Doesn't mention it contains a HD.
