Hasselblad CFV-39 39 megapixel digital back

The 39-megapixel back, with a sensor twice the size of premier DSLRs, features two capture modes and a new digital lens correction technology for Carl Zeiss lenses, powered by Mac - and Windows- compatible Phocus image processing software.

“Quickly and easily, the Hasselblad CFV-39 can transform a V System film camera into a high-performance digital camera,” says product manager Peter Stig. “Just snap on a charged battery, insert a CF card, add the back, and you’re ready to shoot.”

Sony Alpha 700 DSLR Review

Ergonomically, some users may not favour the joystick directional multi selector on the A700 over the more commonly used larger four-way directional pad, although this of course is subjective and with continued use, users are likely to become perfectly familiar with the joystick’s somewhat finicky operation.

The A700 camera body (including battery and card) weighs approximately 768g, which is lighter than its equivalent models from Nikon: the D300 at 925g and Canon: the 40D at 822g. It houses a 3-inch LCD with 921,600 dots (267ppi resolution), which well exceeds Canon’s 230,000 dots in the 40D.

Outside of a somewhat bulbous casing, it didn’t look drastically different than some of the thicker, non-waterproof options out there.
