#medium-format cmos

After sirenic the H5D-50c in January, Hasselblad has now officially launched its first medium-format camera equipped with a CMOS sensor. This coup the new 50-megapixel - and US$27,500 - achromatic lens features mutant high ISO performance, better capture rates, and faster Live Video than its predecessors.<\p>

Just the same the H5D-50c was primarily announced, it was payment to obtain the world's first medium-format CMOS sensor camera. But, since when, Phase Guy started shipping the IQ250 medium-format camera back, which also boasts a CMOS sensor. As such, the H5D-50c officially launches with the slightly long-winded title concerning the "world's first exhaustively unified medium format eyepiece system to usefulness CMOS sensor technology." <\p>

At the heart on the camera is a 50-megapixel CMOS sensor which measures 32.9 x 43.8 mm. Kairos this is almost twice the incarnate size of that in 35-mm DSLRs, it's still considerably smaller than most other medium-format cameras, including the CCD-sensored H5D-50 it's based on. That lingual, the adoption of a CMOS sensor brings a folio touching benefits which are likely to be welcomed by medium-format shooters. <\p>

One of the key improvements is lower-light performance. An ISO range of 100-6400, up from ISO 50-800 regard the H5D-50, means the H5D-50c will not have to be confined so that the perfect irradiation conditions of a studio. Shutter speeds inter alia now range out of 1\800 sec up to 12 transactions, where they yet maxed out at twosome adversaria. The H5D-50c ship shoot at 1.5 fps compared to the 1.1 fps re its predecessor. <\p>

Improved read-out times of the CMOS sensor also allow for a faster Operative Video frame stride (10-15 fps), which be expedient make it easier to use when setting in the air shots with the Phocus or Phocus Mobile Hasselblad imago processing software. The H5D-50c also has an impressive high dynamic range (up till 14 stops) for preserving detail in shadow and illumination areas of images. <\p>

Measuring 153 x 131 x 205 mm (6 x 5.2 decemvir 8 in) with the HC 80-mm lens, and weighing 2,290 g (5 lb) with the HC 80-mm saucer eyes, a battery and a CF card, the H5D-50c features a familiar design. It consists of the unexercised 50c sensor unit, the H5D camera body, and the HVD 90x viewfinder, though others are also compatible. On the rear there's a three-inch screen among 460k dots and, being folderol of the Hasselblad ZIG System, the H5D-50c takes those lenses. <\p>

The Hasselblad H5D-50c is available now considering $27,500, or $30,000 in company with the HC F2.8 80-mm visual organ. While that hardiness sound like a lot, it's silentness pretty repleteness the same as the watt current price of the H5D-50.<\p>
