H3D vs. H3DII???

One of the questions that I get asked a lot is "what is the difference between the Hasselblad H3D and the H3DII." Let me demystify that for you.

One of the great strengths of the H-system of cameras is its continual development. This is one of the keys to retaining the system’s forefront position in the world of digital medium format photography. Normally, upgrades are to the firmware but with the H3DII, there is an even larger leap forward with the introduction of hardware improvements too.

Here are the most significant differences between versions:

User Interface: The buttons on the digital back have been re-arranged and the screen is now much larger. I think the new button locations are more intuitive and user friendly. The sensor-unit menu navigation is also more intuitive.

Little Features, Big Help: Little things like the illumination button also displays battery power, faster lens adjustments (especially while an image is still being written), button reassignments (for user customization), battery warnings on camera grip and sensor unit, better system info displays, improved audio feedback, more features saved in profiles, extra mirror-delay settings (for a steadier camera - thus sharper image) revised menu structure (more efficient).

There you have it... These features are more of an evolution than a revolution but they are really helpful and make things a lot easier for you to spend more time doing your job.
