Shooting Mr Pete Cooper
The amazing Pete Cooper, lead singer of the Porkers found himself in front of then H5D-50c yesterday for a bit of a collaboration and some southern preacher mayhem.

Scanning some shots from the Hasselblad 503cx from last year, thats the great thing about film- you get nice surprises.
Hasselblad H6D-50- First Impressions
Unfortunately for me I only got to spend three hours with our new demo model H6D-50, not a lot of time but I did manage to have a good look through the touch screen menu system and check out the live view. Initial thoughts-
- The touch screen works extremely well
- Live view is quick and useful
- It shoots a lot quicker than the H5D-50c
- Files are virtually identical, which is a good thing, to the H5D-50c
- Autofocus seems quicker but is probably not
- USB 3 is very quick
- SD card slot is a great idea
- Phocus 3 is finally getting good
- The wireless control is excellent and works every time
I think most H5D-50c users will stay where they are for the moment but everyone else needs to check out the upgrade path to this camera. Hopefully I will get to shoot the 100mp version soon because that will be a monster.
I hope to spend some time with the new camera and with any luck will get to shoot some portraits soon and maybe a few night shots, especially with the wireless remote via my iPhone.
