Medium format photography is about 
professionalism. Camera systems have to be 
professional, handling has to be professional and 
captures have to be professional in quality.
Hasselblad knows it and delivers it; professionals 
know that too.
The Hasselblad H series of cameras consists of building new 
developments on the shoulders of the previous generation. 
In this way all the previous work-experience based and 
branch-demanding features are automatically included. So, 
just when you think things can't get much better, they do. 
And the H5D is that model - all the good things from before 
and then some! 
The H5D series heralds a step up that is noticeably greater 
than before. There are changes and many are 'from the 
ground up'. The H spirit thrives but has now matured to 
reinforce further its position in the rapidly changing world of 
digital imaging. Future proofing is key to a secure placing for 
working photographers. The H5D provides a reliable 
connection to the fleeting environment of digital imaging 
technology so when the wind changes direction, the H5D 
remains as the safeguarding companion to provide support.
There are five models to choose from to suit the varied 
demands from the professional world. They start with the 
entry level 40 MPixel model that right from the outset 
confidently takes on most rivals from all brands and beats 
them with star quality results. The models then just get 
better and better. At the other end of the scale is the 200 
MPixel MultiShot model that raises the bar so much for 
product work that it is in a league of its own. 
True to Hasselblad philosophy, interchangeability and 
versatility span all models regarding lenses and accessories 
with minimal restrictions. This applies not only to H5 but all 
H1, H2, H3 and H4 models as well. The H system additionally 
breaks rank regarding series limitations with the ability to use 
other lenses from the V system or when using the sensor unit 
on view cameras. In short, you have access to a more 
comprehensive world to apply medium format quality to.
Hasselblad's best kept secret is knowing that every link in the 
chain that leads to the page in the magazine has to reach a 
certain standard; it is that simple. That's why Hasselblad 
spends so much time and energy into checking those almost 
endless behind-the-scenes details and standards because 
they understand this simple concept. There is no magical 
formula to Hasselblad success other than an understanding 
of what is required to produce the best results available in 
the world today and an acceptance that there are no short 
cuts in this process. Hasselblad does its best to produce the 
best; there is no other way to achieve the Hasselblad star 
quality.
