for some reason, i don't think the paparazzi are running around chasing after celebrities with a hasselblad in their hands.]]>Sep 26th 2006 10:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/26/hasselblad-to-release-h3d-at-photokina/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/26/hasselblad-to-release-h3d-at-photokina/
And yes, kids, there are a lot of situations in which 39 megapixels are just barely enough -- or even not quite sufficient. When you're shooting high-quality images (product beauty shots, fashion, etc) for clients who are paying a lot of money for them, you better believe you need as much resolution as you can get, because those images WILL be used in posters and tradeshow displays where jagged, pixelated images are completely unacceptable. Keep in mind that for offset printing, images need to be 100% of their final printed size at 300ppi. And contrary to what some people claim, res'ing images up does not work well unless they're soft to begin with. So it's important to have as much resolution as possible when shooting.]]>Sep 26th 2006 10:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/26/hasselblad-to-release-h3d-at-photokina/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/26/hasselblad-to-release-h3d-at-photokina/
Your final rez is dependent on the linescreen being used, and not necessarily always 300dpi. Note I say dpi because you aren't printing pixels. On a traditional linescreen of 120lpi, you can easily get away with 180dpi, or 1.5x the linescreen. Sometimes a lower res can actually make the image appear clearer after the printing process (of course, this also depends on the RIP engine being used). In fact, some RIP engines will allow you to create a higher than usual linescreen with lower res images with surprisingly specatacular results using stochastic and hybrid RIP engines.

And larger images can be "faked" with traditional DSLRs using these modern RIP engines, but, yes, they are definitely not of the quality of Medium format images.

Just wanted to clear that up.]]>Sep 26th 2006 10:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/26/hasselblad-to-release-h3d-at-photokina/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/26/hasselblad-to-release-h3d-at-photokina/
jjd, that's a really good question. I'm not sure how 48x36 qualifies as full-frame either.

If it were 60mmx45, maybe I could go along, but really I would consider "full frame" to mean 6cm x 6cm.

I have no idea under what circumstances they can call 48x36 "full frame".

That is a good question, though.]]>Sep 26th 2006 10:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/26/hasselblad-to-release-h3d-at-photokina/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/26/hasselblad-to-release-h3d-at-photokina/Sep 26th 2006 1:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/26/hasselblad-to-release-h3d-at-photokina/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/26/hasselblad-to-release-h3d-at-photokina/Sep 26th 2006 11:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/26/hasselblad-to-release-h3d-at-photokina/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/26/hasselblad-to-release-h3d-at-photokina/
It seems even at these high levels we are still victims of shameless marketing speak. The camera should speak for itself, for what it will cost.]]>Sep 26th 2006 4:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/26/hasselblad-to-release-h3d-at-photokina/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/26/hasselblad-to-release-h3d-at-photokina/Sep 27th 2006 10:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/26/hasselblad-to-release-h3d-at-photokina/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/26/hasselblad-to-release-h3d-at-photokina/Jan 9th 2007 11:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/26/hasselblad-to-release-h3d-at-photokina/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/26/hasselblad-to-release-h3d-at-photokina/
