Hasselblad H1 vs H2 - What's the difference?

I often get asked about older Hasselblad's. One of the biggest questions I get from people is "What's the difference between the H1 and H2?"

The answer is quite simple. The Hasselblad H1 was introduced in 2002 and it sort of morphed into the H2. The camera's are identical on the outside. The only differences are on the inside. That means the difference is within the firmware and not any physical aspects of the camera.

H1s could get upgraded to H2s by authorized Hasselblad service centers BTW.

The advantage the H2 has over the H1 deals mostly with using Imacon Ixpress CFH backs. The Imacon backs are powered by the camera's battery and allows for various back oriented functions directly.

That about does it.

Questions?
