Comments about Hasselblad Hasselblad Ixpress CFH132 Single-Shot 22Mpix Digital Camera Back with H2 Kit, with Camera Body, 80mm Lens, Film Magazine, Battery Grip & Charger:

I have an almost identical system, except that my H2 is an H2F, which is an upgrade of the H2D. I give this camera the highest possible recommendation without reservation: it is incomparable. As of 2011, there is no 35mm digital system that produces images that can rival the quality of what this will produce, and that includes the DSLR's with 21-25 MP. The best DSLR's are great tools and give great images, but when you shoot them side by side with this, you GET why people will pay these prices---the images from my 22MP Hasselblad are clearly and consistently superior to any DSLR. While nearly 30K dollars is a lot of money for a camera---and an older one at that---if you need to produce only the very best images, you don't really have a choice of brand, just a choice of how many pixels. While newer Hasselblads now have way more pixels, a photo from a new one, as awesome at it is, is not a bit better than a photo from my H2F-22. Given the choice---and I HAVE the choice---between this 22MP Hasselblad and a 50MP or 60MP one, I prefer the 22MP because it gives me the same incomparable results, with a much smaller file size, which means faster workflow. While the H3 and H4's are slightly fancier cameras, the only ones that can produce better images than this are the two multi-shot cameras, which are only useful for still-life product shooting in the studio.
