I attended a demo a couple (or three) weeks ago where Hasselblad showed the 100c. Ships in december was the word I received back then, but that might be for those who haven't ordered one yet.Any recent update as to when the H6D-100C will be shipping?
uuuh, that late? But if so how does this go with the current trade-in and trade-up promotions which are limited by end of September and October?I attended a demo a couple (or three) weeks ago where Hasselblad showed the 100c.

You would have to ask Hasselblad for the practicals, or maybe someone else in the know can chime in.uuuh, that late? But if so how does this go with the current trade-in and trade-up promotions which are limited by end of September and October?
Great question for which I have no answer. My dealer keeps saying they will be available in July and he has heard nothing to the contrary from Hasselblad. B&H says end of June but I suspect that the person I spoke with really didn't know or bother to check. I really wish Hassleblad would come out with some kind of formal announcement. Does anyone know the contact information for the Hasselblad regional rep in California?uuuh, that late? But if so how does this go with the current trade-in and trade-up promotions which are limited by end of September and October?
I would say, that sounds right.Hi cerett,
You should be able to find the contact info of your regional rep at the end of the latest CPO list that I just accessed here.
The trade-in deal they've got with an H6D-50c towards a 100c also makes me think the 100c may not ship until fall or later,

I did shoot the 100c on the Hasselblad Light & Byte event in April in Zurich. It was a 100c demo model and the file tethered directly to a Mac with a big EIZO 27 inch monitor. Lighting was pretty bad although the files looked good in my eyes. Off course, they did not let the files out of their hands for closer inspections...From everything I've read online about the H6D demo sessions, the H6D-100c has been on display only and no one has actually been shooting with one, and all the H6D live shooting demos have been done with the H6D-50c.
I have been to a demo mid may and there was a functional H6D-100c on the table. According to the representative from Hasselblad, the only problem is that Sony could not deliver the sensors.From everything I've read online about the H6D demo sessions, the H6D-100c has been on display only and no one has actually been shooting with one, and all the H6D live shooting demos have been done with the H6D-50c.
Yes, that is the problem. If there is going to be a significant delay, I would hope Hasselblad gives us a projected time frame. They initially posted here, but have been silent since.

I am sorry that you don't get the camera you want in the timeframe you want, but may I remind you that the two Kumamoto earthquakes killed at least 49 people and injured about 3,000 others in total. More than 44,000 people have been evacuated from their homes due to the disaster.Yes, that is the problem.

FWIW I read cerett's comment as it is the silence by Hasselblad on the forum that is disappointing, not the camera delay. Hasselblad Official posted on GetDPI right at the launch of the camera and I haven't seen many posts from them since.I am sorry that you don't get the camera you want in the timeframe you want, but may I remind you that the two Kumamoto earthquakes killed at least 49 people and injured about 3,000 others in total.

I normally cut some slack when corporations are hit by acts of God, but that may be just me.
I don't need to be reminded of the reason for the potential delay and really don't appreciate the tone of your response.

The reason they have been a bit quiet is that they have been very busy working on a thing... I can tell you more in 24hrs.FWIW I read cerett's comment as it is the silence by Hasselblad on the forum that is disappointing, not the camera delay.

Thanks Nick. I look forward to hearing what that "thing" is . . .The reason they have been a bit quiet is that they have been very busy working on a thing... I can tell you more in 24hrs.
I like things....looking forward to itThe reason they have been a bit quiet is that they have been very busy working on a thing... I can tell you more in 24hrs.
We all recognize that the question was about the silence of Hasselblad. We all know about and sympathize with the events in Japan, but that had nothing to do with his comments. Your twisting of the direction of his question is unsatisfactory and so disappointing in this friendly forum. Holier-than-thou does not play well here.I am sorry that you don't get the camera you want in the timeframe you want, but may I remind you that the two Kumamoto earthquakes killed at least 49 people and injured about 3,000 others in total.
