Hasselblad has just announced it will feature a 50MP sensor in its new H3DII-50 digital back made by our good friends at Kodak. The sensor will feature a four-channel read out where the 39MP chip was only two-channel. Not to mention you will be able to take an aerial photograph of a field of 1.5 miles across and detect an object the size of a laptop! Not one of those laptops from 1984 either.

Well looks like I will have to get out my pocket book for this one, “how much will this be sir…oh, 40,000 dollars? Do you accept first born’s as payment?”

You can read more about the specs for the sensor over at Kodak.
