These babies are fw800 only (400 compatible but something like a 5 second delay between shots). I really don't see why they're rolling out new cameras though when the H2D has some serious problems still. There's still a delay of about 4 seconds now until they get their hardware right.]]>Jan 11th 2006 7:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/11/hasselblad-h2d-39-megapixel-medium-format-digicam/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/11/hasselblad-h2d-39-megapixel-medium-format-digicam/Jan 11th 2006 7:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/11/hasselblad-h2d-39-megapixel-medium-format-digicam/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/11/hasselblad-h2d-39-megapixel-medium-format-digicam/Jan 11th 2006 7:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/11/hasselblad-h2d-39-megapixel-medium-format-digicam/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/11/hasselblad-h2d-39-megapixel-medium-format-digicam/

As for batteries, the H2D uses the battery in the grip to power the whole system. Battery life seems a little shaky at this point.

None of the camera manufacturers make their own CCDs- they either come from Kodak or Dalsa.]]>Jan 12th 2006 12:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/11/hasselblad-h2d-39-megapixel-medium-format-digicam/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/11/hasselblad-h2d-39-megapixel-medium-format-digicam/http://www.popsci.com/popsci/technology/generaltechnology/43f47ce253607010vgnvcm1000004eecbccdrcrd.html]]>Jan 12th 2006 12:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/11/hasselblad-h2d-39-megapixel-medium-format-digicam/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/11/hasselblad-h2d-39-megapixel-medium-format-digicam/


I bet you're one of those people that say "my cameraphone takes great shots!" Don't comment if you're clueless, thanks.]]>Jan 12th 2006 8:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/11/hasselblad-h2d-39-megapixel-medium-format-digicam/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/11/hasselblad-h2d-39-megapixel-medium-format-digicam/Jan 12th 2006 10:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/11/hasselblad-h2d-39-megapixel-medium-format-digicam/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/11/hasselblad-h2d-39-megapixel-medium-format-digicam/


The irony is that a Times Square billboard requires LESS resolution because nobody's looking at it up close, so it can be printed at 50dpi or less.



(By the way, the market for this camera is indeed the sort of people who might need to create a billboard, or large in-store posters or what have you.)]]>Jan 12th 2006 10:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/11/hasselblad-h2d-39-megapixel-medium-format-digicam/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/11/hasselblad-h2d-39-megapixel-medium-format-digicam/


I am not a professional photographer, and my 5.5MP works just fine for my day-to-day needs. I hadn't really thought about those big ass in store displays.]]>Jan 12th 2006 6:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/11/hasselblad-h2d-39-megapixel-medium-format-digicam/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/11/hasselblad-h2d-39-megapixel-medium-format-digicam/
saying a 16mp image, or even a 10mp, "doesn't cut it" for pros who have their work printed is one of the most assine statements i've ever read in my life.

there is a reason that that a majority of published working professionals do just fine with the likes of a Canon 1ds.
