The new H3DII-50 from Hasselblad packs in Kodak’s 50-megapixel sensor. This measures 36mm x 48mm, and is thus double the size of the largest 35mm DSLR sensors, and even more than double the sensors used in low-mid range DSLRs. The sheer size of the sensor means it takes about 1.1 seconds per frame, but clearly you’re sacrificing speed for professional ultra-high quality. It’s got a 3-inch screen, integrated CCD cooler and can shoot up to ISO400. There’s no word on pricing, so you’ll have to wait until closer to its October launch to find out how much cash it’ll cost you (rather a lot.) [Hasselblad]

You are VERY wrong to assume that people don’t have the money to buy this camera. I for one could easily buy it, and as a keen photographer will buy a Hasselblad, but it will be the new 50 megapixel camera due out in April 2009.
Price is no object when you want quality.
When do you expect to receive the 50 megapixel Hasselblad??
