Hasselblad announces a 50 Mega Pixel camera

When it comes to professional digital cameras, the top name is not Nikon or Canon, it is Hasselblad and they have recently announced their 50 MP, yes thats 50 Mega Pixel camera model H3DII-50, but the price is not announced yet. But we can guess the approximate price if we know that their older model H3DII-39 with 39 mega pixel and lesser features, costs 37,000 US$. That's a lot of moolah for a camera, if you ask me.

It features a 36.8×49.1mm Kodak sensor, which is much larger than most DSLR cameras and a RAW format images will be around 65 MB. A 2 GB card will be able to hold just about 31 images.
Surely out of my pocket range. Read on here . Or check out their virtual demo here.
