World's First 60 Megapixel Camera.

Introducing the world's first medium format 60Megapixel camera the Hasselblad H4D-60. This camera is also currently the most expensive new camera (meaning its not a collectors item) as of 1st January 2010. With a price tag of about €28,995 or USD37,019. Medium format is bigger than full frame for those who don't know.


Hasselblad have been around since World Was II and is being manufactured in Sweden Flag of Sweden and  have a long history with NASA. Most if not all NASA camera in space are made by Hasselblad. The first pictures taken when man landed on the moon was taken by a Hasselblad camera where Neil Armstrong said "That's one small step for man; one giant leap for mankind".

I do not know what to write about this camera other than the megapixel and the price because for a camera this expensive and of this caliber that is all I can afford to know, because I would rather use the money as a down payment for a house. This camera is truly for the die hard enthusiast and collector, kinda like the Jay Leno of cameras.  Would you get it if you had the money or would a more domesticated brand like Nikon or Canon be good enough for you? Get this camera if your photography is making you tons of cash. That is the only way you can justify yourself for getting such an expensive camera.

Here is a chart for you to compare the difference between full frame and medium format.
