Suddenly, this one doesn't look so bad after all:

You know, that's pretty cool looking. I can't afford it, so my bank account is safe. ;-)Ray, my bad!
Here's an actual handheld shot. The Chinese part in me likes it!

As a carpenter by trade I can tell you that the wood is not even properly treated. The pores of the grain should be completly filled by filler and the final laquer should be a closed, smooth surface - best high polished with many layers of coating. For this price it should look as smooth as an iphone. This is really reverse of what Hasselblad was in V-times.

In all honesty, where can you get those customers? I want some of them. I can give it to them for a much higher price, because it will make them even more individual.

For this price, one would also expect the front and back parts to come from the same piece of wood, with matching patterns. And look at the bottom; the pieces don't even align. But maybe they are going for the "Natural Look". In that case, they should watch out. The competition is already getting their revs up. This one even has an optical viewfinder:
Edit:
The gaps are really ugly on this one. And imagine all the dirt that gets stuck in these which are all over this design. Even the shutter release has a dirt collector on top. This will fill up with sweat and dust.
Ughhhh, ..... I wonder when the first Lunar's will appear on the bay saying: " .... properly cleaned".
I am heading for the more natural model I think.

Oh... but the beautiful people who will buy the Lunar don't sweat, and they will never ever get close to anything dirty. If you want to become clean, you can just shake hands with one of them :ROTFL:

Please chuck this thread out. Not even worth putting it in the sunset section, IMO.
Not only poisons a brand (well, it is the manufacturers mistake) but the whole section (just like the other worthless piece of c%ap elsewhere).
THANK YOU!

Hey, you can't just seek to wipe a thread because it irritates you. People have put effort into composing their posts here. Please respect that. No-one's broken any site rules.

Kidding aside, I don't think these good natured humor would "poison" the hasselblad brand. They've been around for a while, and they can take some sarcastic criticism

I´m lost for words. The plastic used for the top plate and the buttons literally screams "cheap". They should have taken the money they had to use for conceiving and advertising this thing and invested it in building some commemorative 503cw instead. Would have been a greater success...
No, IMO it wouldn't have. Hasselblad has made a number of limited edition Vs and Hs which sold like lead life-preservers to a drowning man.
Not arguing that this Lunar is anything to defend by any criteria ... the fit and finish looks stone-aged ... literally.
If we are going to engage in "Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda" ... they coulda brought out a digital X-Pan or mirrorless full frame 36 X 36 square format camera, and coulda made a unique mark in the marketplace ... most importantly they shoulda killed this abomination right after Photokina, if not well before.

Two very nice ideas, Marc. I especially like the second one - I'm assuming that by mirrorless you mean something with the fast CMOS technology of a Sony NEX or Fuji X camera.
As for a digital X-Pan...I don't know of any outfit making photographic sensors with a dimension as long as 65mm.

Well, somehow these Lunar threads remember me to reps filibustering the senat. But there is an important difference: Elvis has neither entered the building, nor has he left the building. At the moment this whole camera is only a lot of hot air marketing "event" which probably causes Hasselblad enormous costs and definitely no income.
Just wait a bit, this thing will kill itself in silence.........
