Hasselblad (Imacon): H3D Series (H3D-39, 31 & 22)

The H3D camera is currently available with three different sensor models, offering Full-Frame 48mm image capture with a resolution of 39 MegaPixel/22 MegaPixel, or near Full-Frame capture with the new 31 MegaPixel model.

H3D-22 & H3D-39

The H3D-22 and its nearly double-resolution H3D-39 counterpart are both Full-Frame 48mm DSLR’s using the sensor format 36_48mm. These cameras operate up to ISO400 with a capture speed of up to 1.4 seconds per capture.

The sensors are 22 or 39 MegaPixels in size and they are both more than twice the physical size of today's 35mm sensors. This means more and larger pixels, which ensures high image quality and moiré free color rendering without gradation break-ups - in even the most subtlety lit surfaces.

H3D-31

The H3D-31 features a 31 MegaPixel sensor measuring 33_44mm enhanced with micro-lenses to boost ISO rating by one stop to a new maximum of ISO800. As with its fellow H3D models, the H3D-31 makes use a new high speed capture architecture for the fastest possible operation, with the H3D-31 capturing at the rate of 1.2 seconds per capture, working either mobile or tethered to a computer.

Four modes of operation and storage

The H3D offers a free choice of the portable CF card storage, the flexible Firewire driven Hasselblad Imagebank, or tethered operation with extended, special capture controls. On the film front, an optional 120/220 magazine is offered for those occasions where film is preferred.

H System lenses

The specifications of the specially designed HC/HCD lenses exceed the demands made by digital capture. The central lens shutters of the lenses add flexibility by allowing flash to be employed at shutter speeds up to 1/800s. Thanks to the large format, the depth of field range is considerably shallower making it much easier to create a perfect interplay between sharpness and blur. The H3D design has also made possible the launch of a completely new 28mm lens, designed and optimized solely for digital image capture. Image quality is lifted to a level, yet unseen in digital photography, including digital correction for color aberration and distortion (DAC).

A choice of bright viewfinders

One of the important traditional advantages of medium format is the extra large and bright viewfinder image. The H3D comes with a new HVD90X viewfinder designed for full performance over the large 36x48mm sensor. It is interchangeable with the HV90X and the new waist-level viewfinder, the HVM.

Unique Hasselblad Natural Color Solution

Normally troublesome subjects such as various skin tones, metals, fabrics, flowers, etc. are easily captured by using the new, powerful color profile - the Hasselblad Natural Color Solution (HNCS). It works invisibly in the background in conjunction with the FlexColor imaging software, producing outstanding and reliable out-of-the-box results. In order to support our new unique color system, Hasselblad developed a raw file format called 3F RAW (3FR). The file format includes lossless image compression, which reduces the required storage space by 33%.
