Hasselblad CEO Christian Poulsen looks into the future

A sensor 48x48 (49x49) can possibly be produced on the same wafer as the 37x49 sensor . So that should not be the problem .
A digital back with such a sensor would be a perfect supplement for the V-SYSTEM cameras and could also be attached to the HY6 . But not on any H3Dxx camera. So might be , that Christian Poulsen would like to prevent such a sensor .

And by the way , I would not mind Bill Gates to finance me such a back .

Hum,

If 48x48mm sensor enter in production and the HY6 too, then the new strategy for Hasselblad H3Dxx should be the same as the X-pan's one last year.
Perhaps H concept will live as long as X-pan (10 years) even winning a array of "best camera of the year"'s prizes.

>> HASSELBLAD CEO Christian Poulsen looks into the future <<

Might be , that he looked into the future with only one eye .
Here is the newest information from FRANKE & HEIDEKE which I found today in the german PHOTOPRESSE magazine . Unfortunately its only in german , but I will translate an excerpt .

>> The Hy6 is to come on the market at the end of July . The Hy6 is a camera development with a big future . She has the ability , as designed for the film format 6x6 , also to use digital backs with the forthcoming (future) high resolution 48x48mm sensors. <<

In the same magazine I found an article which announces a technology exhibition , 07.09.2007 to 08.09.2007 in the Briese Studios , Hamburg , where HASSELBLAD presents their innovative technologies . Partners for that show are BRIESE , APPLE , ADOBE , EPSON , WACOM and others . Whatever that means >> innovative technologies << .
