No one who would be interested in a Hasselblad would need to read about why one should consider this camera system. But, for the curious, the Hasselblad is arguably the best camera made. There are no compromises anywhere in its design. It is handmade in Sweden, the Hasselblad Natural Color System (HNCS) processes its medium format, 16-bit images to a color accuracy that no competitor has and, of course, all the lenses are spectacular and tack sharp. The images have amazing detail and dynamics and are noise-free even in low light, results not found in most full-frame 35mm systems. I own the Sony A7R system with Zeiss primary lenses, which is a great system, but shooting side-by-side reveals what Hasselblad is all about. Interestingly, Sony manufactures the image sensors for Hasselblad (along with many other camera systems such as Leica, Nikon, Fuji, Panasonic, etc.) The hurdles that one must get past are: it costs a fortune (~$40k new!), it is big and bulky, and it weighs a ton. It does not have image stabilization so a tripod is frequently required. Many of the lenses are huge and weigh even more than the camera. (I, of course, take the Sony on vacation.)Read full review
