Hasselblad H3D-31II, Medium Format Digital SLR Camera with 31mp Sensor & 3" LCD Display Bundle with 28mm HCD Lens

The H3D-II is the ultimate choice for any serious photographer. The H3D-II has been developed around a new digital camera engine which produces increased lens performance and a new level of image sharpness. By focusing solely on digital camera architecture, Hasselblad is able to offer photographers the full benefits of professional medium-format digital cameras as well as the ease-of use found in the best 35mm DSLRs.

The H3D-II architecture has also made possible the new 28mm lens, designed and optimized solely for digital image capture. Image quality is lifted to a level yet unseen in digital photography, including automatic digital correction for chromatic aberration, distortion and vignetting. The result is flexibility and ease-of-use for the professional photographer, including the freedom to choose between eye-level and and waist-level viewfinders and on-the-fly classification of images.

Hasselblad's Natural Color Solution delivers out-of-the-box image quality only achievable in a true digital camera system. The H3DII -31 features a 31 Mpixel sensor measuring 33®44mm and enhanced with micro-lenses to boost ISO rating by one stop to a new maximum of ISO800. As with its fellow H3D models, the H3DI-31 makes use of a new high speed capture architecture.

This allows for the fastest possible operation, with the H3DII-31 capturing at the rate of 1.2 seconds per capture, working either mobile or tethered to a computer. The combination of these features makes the H3DII -31 the natural choice for the professional mobile photographer.

The H3D-II system allows information from the lens and exact capture conditions to be fed to the camera processor for ultra-fine-tuning of the auto-focus mechanism, taking into account the design specifications of the lens and the optical specifications of the sensor. In this way the full HC lens program is even further enhanced, bringing a new level of sharpness and resolution.

Digital correction for color aberration and distortion is also added. "Digital Auto Correction" (DAC), is an APOchromatic correction of the images based on a combination of the various parameters concerning each specific lens for each specific shot, ensuring that each image represents the best that your equipment can produce.
