It sure looks like an awesome phone. Had I been in the marked that would be the one for me... Bad timing IMO the Galaxy III is heavy on the marked right now and the IV is getting announced soon. had they had this phone out a month or two ago they might have had a chance to hold back a lot of Galaxy III 4g buyers... kinda too late.
Photog74: This reminds me of a story from about 10 years ago when Magnum photographer Alex Majoli would use three Olympus C-5050 compact cameras to document the Iraq war. There have always been, and will likely always be, photographers who use smaller devices instead of the generally bulky SLRs preferred by the majority of their colleagues. This is nothing new, actually.
I was reminded of that story as well. The way Alex worked back then inspired me a lot :)
Rumle: How sad really. Hasselblad is ruining there rep here in my opinion. The pictured camera looks like its gonna be a A99 Hassy version. Design looks Retro vs Spacy in a horrible combination. If it doesn't offer any advantages over the A99.... Why, why WHY, would any one buy that ****.
I feel sort of offended I guess. Asking 6500 cash for a rebranded NEX-7 is really stretching it. Not even Leica could pull that off.
Hassleblad has (had) a good reputation. But really, they never been Leica class, honestly and trying to pull this stunt off is.... I dont know... get a grip folks (at hassy that is)
Please tell me if ANYONE sees a point to this?
And will any one honestly pay 5x the price for a hassy remake of an existing camera?
Dont get me wrong I have nothing against an expensive Hassleblad camera. But I would feel cheated paying for a repacking like this...
