Digital Camera Review

Mar 13, 2007 - By Patrick Singleton
The Hasselblad H3D 31 is a medium-format DSLR, with a 44.2 x 33.1 mm, 31-megapixel sensor. At $24,995, it's a general-purpose camera for high-end professional work. Hasselblad also sells a 39-megapixel H3D and a 22-megapixel iteration. The H3D 31 operates a little faster than the other models, and its sensor is physically a little smaller. Its ISO range runs from 100 to 800, a stop faster at both ends than the other H3Ds, so it may be more appropriate for work with moving subjects than the others.

Conclusion
The H3D 31 is a fine tool for making top-quality digital images. It is clear why it costs $24,995 – it's a low-volume product with expensive research and development behind it, and it is carefully made with expensive, excellent materials.
