Having used the H3D-II on several occasions the last two months, I am not at all surprised by the quality and resolution of Yuri’s photos. This camera is incredible and in every respect better than former film and digital cameras from Hasselblad, including the H3. I am sorry Rinder99, but I have to disagree - anyone having used the H3D-II will not love the H3 (like before). The difference is simply enormous! No wonder Hasselblad says that the H3D-II produces the image quality and resolution that Hasselblad has dreamed about in the last 50 years!
But I am surprised that no one noticed ...
... the fantastic fact that Hasselblad has chosen to sponsor Yuri. ..........It is like winning the photographers “Nobel Price”!! An exceptional honour. My congratulation to you, Yuri! Only very few people worldwide are selected and sponsored by Hasselblad. As the CEO of Hasselblad in Denmark told me recently: You don’t apply for a sponsorship, Hasselblad will find you - if you are a truly outstanding and creative photographer!
Is a H3D-II overkill for microstock? Maybe and maybe not. I am sure the H3D-II will make it possible for Yuri to produce even more photos (not using time trying to reduce noise, banding, fringing, etc.). And surely, Yuri’s buyers will return again and again because of the high image quality.
PS: Yes, I admit - I am seriously considering the H3D-II, but presently I am on a waiting list for Canon’s 1Ds MarkIII. Hope it will be a significant improvement compared to my (beloved) 1ds MarkII. Will let you know when I get the MarkIII.
Yours,

I did shoot the new one and all the last ones also, had a v-back for my old 501 too. I love hassy, always have.Always been the supreme camera. I still rent one when I have a client that will pay for it. Im my case just not cost effective for RF stock. Before you get the canon Pls rent or try the Mamiya ZD. extremly impressive also and damn good glass.And any sponsership is a good thing.I always take my students Over to Samys and let them hold one. Like a fine piece of jewelry, Then you need a bigger computer....LOL always something.Congrats to Yuri.He desearves it. |

Like I've said 2000 times , It's not what You use , It's how you use it. God Bless Yuri for what he has accomplished BUT, This new camera had nothing to do with it. This is another step in His Image Making ability and talent. I salute Him because he did the work, Put in the time and committed Himself. Im proud of ya. And proud to be your friend from the early days. Laurin |

Well, technically speaking, u can apply for a sp/ship from Hasselblad. U just hv 2 be successful in the Hasselblad competitions (e.g. http://www.hasselblad.com/masters-2008.aspx ) though I'm not sure if they r open 4 every1. |

afraid 2 try? ;)
well, apart from international-level competitions H/blad has regional dealers who may have right 2 give out some sp/ships at their discretion. After all, these cameras r terribly overpriced - nowadays semiconductor and optical technologies r very cheap, u can't even imagine how.
...I won't b surprized if their cameras' factory cost is below USD1000 (I dont think that their electronic stuff is more complex than that of a modest PC whereas the optical system is not difficult to manifacture on large scale). The rest of price comes from market value which is being kept high by means of constant advertising. |

Do I sense a bit of envy?
On my part, I salute Yuri Arcurs. And I don’t think it is true that local dealers can to give away sponsorships at their discretion. I am sure no sponsorships are awarded without very serious considerations by the head of Hasselblad (a Danish-Swedish firm I believe). And I hardly find it true either that a 39 mp Hasselblad only costs 1000 USdollars in production. Hmm… I still sense a bit of envy! |

envy? not really, i'm in a different league. I wouldnt even know what 2 do with HB camera 4 my outdoor shots ... hire a porter and security guard? It won't make me a photo genius, anyway.
abt prices. I know pple from semiconductor tech who know costs of all that silicon stuff. This is all silicon oxide after all. :) |

I am not sure about how much I can say about my sponsorship agreement so I will clear that out with the Hasselblad management and get back to you. However, I do know that my sponsorship is directly with Hasselblad as it says on my contract.
To Rinder.. Thank you for your kind words! You really must be in touch with the right people in the US having had your hands on the new Hassy already. I know they just started shipping them to the US a couple of days ago and that the one I had for test shooting over the last couple of weeks was borrowed directly from the factory because they where not available jet. Some high-profiles photographers in the US may have had the same kind of arrangement.
About marketing. At a tradeshow, a Hasselblad representative did a speech saying that they had a zero budget for marketing. Hasselblad, being the only camera that has ever been to the moon, the markets highest resolution, etc. they don’t need to advertise. Their magazine “victor” is one of the only things they do in marketing. |

By the way: I will be downsizing my material for SS, because in their pricing policy there is no difference between a 3mp file and a 39mp file. |

to be honest, i dont get this megapixel race. dont u understand that it is not the size of Yuri's photos which makes them looking so good but the light and model techniques he uses?
if i were a studio photographer like u guys i'd rather invest money into the good light equipment and extra books and advanced courses on photography. Let's not allow machines control our mind. :) |

Well said. That’s what I tell everybody just entering stock photography. Buy a simple DSLR and a 70-200mm 4.0L and spend all the rest on lighting.
The extra maga pixels are not why I use the Hasselblad, but the pure and clean quality of the files. |
