Hasselblad's new H4D-200MS takes 200 megapixel images, that outcome in large 600MB files. So big are these images that Hasselblad recommends you offshoot the camera up to a hard disk instead of using a mental recall card. The camera itself "only" has a 50MB sensor, though, so how does it do this magic?
To record these ultra hi-res images, the H4D-200MS obviously moves its sensor, receiving 6 particular shots and mixing the results. It's similar to creation a panorama, usually the photos line up way improved since conjunction the camera nor the lens moves.
When receiving the shot, the camera snaps 6 not similar exposures, relocating the sensor 1.5 pixels at a time. This not usually allows big images, it moreover gives improved shade information. Normally a camera has not similar colored pixels next to any other and it type of averages out the assorted brightnesses of these pixels to theory both shade and brightness. But since the Hasselblad moves its pixels around, any pixel site is available by a red, a immature and a blue pixel. This should give great shade accuracy, just similar to Sigma's Foveon chips.
The downside is that this routine takes 30 seconds to complete, so you'll not usually have to close the thing down on a tripod, you'll have to discuss it all your assistants to grip their breath.
You can moreover change down a rigging and fire singular 50MP images, together with a four-shot chronicle combo.
Care to take a theory at the price? Nope, try doubling that. That's closer. The H4D-200MS will cost you $45,000. And if you have a crappy aged HD-50MS fibbing around, you can pay Hasselblad $10,000 to ascent it for you.
