Hasselblad CFV-39 for V-System

Hey everyone! Long time no see. I have a lot of catching up to do on the Hasselblad front so expect a bunch of blog posts coming at you.

Here is something really awesome:
Hasselblad expands the CFV (CF digital back for V-systems) product line increasing pixel power from 16 million pixels to 39 million pixels with the new CFV-39. Priced at $13,995 USD it is available in the United States in July 2009.

The new CFV-39 incorporates the Kodak 39MP, 16-bit sensor which is 2x larger than the best 35mm DSLR camera systems and will optimize image quality from 10 classic Carl Zeiss lenses using the Hasselblad DAC (Digital lens correction) technology:

* Optical Distortion correction
* Lateral Chromatic Distortion correction
* Vignetting control

Two sizes

Choose between the classic square format at 29 million pixels or the modern rectangular at full 39 million pixel detail to deliver the best crop for your image.

Another nice point: No cables are needed to trigger the capture when used on a V-system camera including 202FA, 203FE, and 205FCC bodies. Power is supplied through the included InfoLithium Type "L" battery or the optional HD+ FireWire power device.
