Haha, try living in New Zealand. Then you'll feel left out! :thumbdown:And the Aussies miss out again, we don't even get a mention! I wonder why I often feel like a second class citizen when dealing with big companies. I watched that darned countdown for 4 days and get zip from it.
is it basically the same sensor as that of the S2?this is the Kodak TRUESENSE design CCD which is based on the 50MP except with the very useful addition of microlenses, giving 100-1600 ISO.
Yes, my point was that the H4d-40 costs a couple of grand more than the H3d-31 in Europe so will most likely follow that trend in the US too.This might be UK price but not US price...
they don't mention the recompose AF ??
Hold it there is a BIG difference between a 31mpx and a 40mpx sensor. I just did this and it is much more than just 9 mpx. It is a whole new sensor technology with some extremely good improvements. Now not sure on the Hassy since we don't have the specs but on the Phase setup it's a different ball game. You also getting a different body here in the H4 with some new technologies behind it . The H31 still comes with a H3 . Nick, David help me with this am I mistaken here.Yes, my point was that the H4d-40 costs a couple of grand more than the H3d-31 in Europe so will most likely follow that trend in the US too.
So whats the big deal then? its still a small sensor mfd that costs more than their previous small sensor mfd... not sure i appreciate watching a count down clock to tell me that:sleep006:
They write :
Correct Guy It is a new sensor generation so will be a big step up from the 31. And yes it has the True Focus system which I've been testing and am glad to say actually works Oh and 4 minute exposure times with no black frame required.Hold it there is a BIG difference between a 31mpx and a 40mpx sensor.

Yes i understand that its a newer generation but its still a small sensor no matter what way you go at it.Hold it there is a BIG difference between a 31mpx and a 40mpx sensor.

Thanks for your thoughts Jack. I know were only talking a couple of mills in the difference, i guess the only way to tell the difference is to actually see the difference, obvious i know, i plan on trying them both with a 28mm as soon as the h4d40 hits the streets.Aaron end of the day with a 28mm and the P40 framing to the P45 framing same as Hassy i believe, its like a 2mm difference. Now having said that would I like wider on my P40+ yes I would but maybe only when my back is literally against the wall. But yes it is wider on the P45. Now i am testing a 50mm shift and see if i can gain a little extra in the final dimension.
Now I will say this the resale value on my P40 and with the Hassy 40 will be much better end of the day than the P45 and H39. Which are dropping like flies and will do that even more now that Hassy dropped this 40 in the mix. This is the one reason I went to the P40 from the P30 was I added value to my system. In both Hassy and Phase system this needs to be addressed because the used prices on these things are dropping badly and not holding value as the new backs come out which gives us maybe 3 years before we face the next generation. Now I realize this is a vicious circle of buzzards we are dealing with but I don't see anyway around it as the new tech comes in and buying old tech at the same time.
This is sort of my driving point here and after just analyzing the hell out of this it made the most sense. Not only that I picked up a much nicer file from the older sensors. I would try it first before making a final decision for sure. Not that I am trying to sell this but as always making the most sense out of our purchase dollars is what is important .
Same trade price as in the USA. I have ordered the same thing and sent my P.O. for the H4D/60 last year. Just waiting now.And i traded-in my H3DII-39 body only for H4D-60 for the price of 14,000 euro.
As I understand it:If i have a choice, i will choose H4D-50 over H4D-40, not sure how much the price between the two, but if it is that much difference then i can understand of some will go with cheaper, but if the difference is not that a big deal then why not going with higher MP, will they do something more on 40mp over 50mm [H4D]? and now also H4D-60mp to be out available, so all those big stories and storms about H4D system of Hasselblad, what is going on? What are they trying to do in Hasselblad with that H4D?
