Prosophos is teasing the launch of a new M-mount camera with CCD sensor. And it’s not a Leica camera!

CCD-M-mount

Prosophos is teasing the launch of a new M-mount camera. Those are the details he is sharing:

  1. The camera is not made by Leica.
  2. The camera is not made by Hasselblad.
  3. Although the camera is curved, the sensor is not curved.
  4. M-mount,
  5. CCD sensor (> 24 MP),
  6. uniquely-shaped camera.

It’s unclear if that’s a Kickstarter project or a market ready camera from a major company…like Voigtlander?

Hasselblad CEO words about the new medium format camera

Hasselblad Germany sent out an email to invite photographers to the medium format unveiling.

Sie sind Profi-Fotograf und arbeiten bereits mit Hasselblad? Die Geschichte der legendären Hasselblad und der Welt der Fotografie wird am Mittwoch neu geschrieben.
Sie sind kein Profi-Fotograf und interessieren sich deshalb nicht für Hasselblad? Genau darum sollten Sie am Mittwoch mit dabei sein.
Sie haben schon immer mit dem Mittelformat geliebäugelt, hatten aber gute Gründe, nicht den Schritt zu machen? Dann sollten Sie sich den Livestream unbedingt anschauen.
Kurz: Wenn Ihre Leidenschaft der Fotografie und der kompromisslosen Bildqualität gehört, dann dürfen Sie den Livestream vom Mittwoch nicht verpassen!

Am Mittwoch wird die Welt der Fotografie eine neue Dimension erhalten.
Freundliche Grüsse

The key info here is:
– The camera is a medium format camera
– The camera is for people that always dreamed about owning a medium format camera but had many reasons to not do so. Editor’s note: As the major obstacle to medium format is price this sounds like the camera will be priced between $5000-$10000.
– They use big words for the new camera saying a “new history” will be made with the camera and that photography will “enter a new dimension”

Follow the event live here on Mirrorlessrumors! It starts at 14:00 Berlin time tomorrow (June 22):

 

Hasselblad teases one more “piece” of the new medium format camera

Hasselblad posted one more “piece” of their new medium format mirrorless system camera. The new camera is 100% sure to be medium format. Moreover this camera is designed and produced in Sweden. So expect to pay quite a heavy price for it.

It’s also highly likely that the camera will use the Sony 50MP medium format sensor. You cannot cheat on economy of scale and make a new “unique” sensor for this camera :)

Ming Thein shares first small pic of the new Hasselblad mirrorless medium format camera

Hassleblad

Ming Thein shared that official Hasselblad invitation which shows a piece of the new camera they will announce on June 22. I cannot yet 100% confirm what the camera is about but this is likely to be the real thing:
– First Hasselblad mirrorless system camera
– Sony 50MP sensor (twice the area an the FF sensor)
– Built-in viewfinder

Hasselblad is teasing the event with the phrase “game changer in the world of photography”. Ming Thein also writes:

“let’s say I do have some knowledge about what this might be, and it’s at least twice as interesting as they promise:) Feel free to speculate away in the comments; I shall neither confirm nor deny…”

That sounds promising!!!
