so it looks like hasselblad has a medium format DSLR... http://www.hasselblad.com/products/h-system/h3d.aspx

39 MP, full frame sensor 36.7 x 49.0 mm... who's going to be the first to try it out...

oh, it looks like it is capable of 35 captures/min...

Storage capacity: 2 GB CF card holds 40 images on average

you will fill that 2 gig card pretty fast on full auto

illegible usually

oh, it appears from the product specs that is weighs about 5 lbs with an 80 mm lens (which is compareable to about a 50mm lens on a traditional 35mm camera)

If you can afford one of these (23 thousand dollars) you can probably afford an 8GB card

as soon as I buy it, a 72 mpixel will come out and it will only cost $22,000 dollars.

how good can photos be? I love my results with a rebel xt at 8mp.
at 39 megapixels what happens? photos become 3-Dimensional? or am I going to sell billboards to my tandem students.
still, I would like to try it for a few jumps.

The sad part of the digital world is exactly what you just said...it will be cheaper and better tomorrow.

Norm Kent used to be just about the only guy that shot medium format film...and the difference in quality between 35mm and 2 1/4 x 2 1/4 shot on film was always evident. More detail and better tonal gradation.
