A quick update to my last post about the upcoming Hasselblad camera - the official announcement will be on June 22nd at 14:00 (CET). You can see part of the camera in the attached screenshot above. The camera was described to me as mirrorless, "very special", "beautiful", with an unusual aspect ratio.

Next week (on June 22nd or the 23rd) Hasselblad is rumored to announce a new camera. I got this information from two different sources and I am now trying to get more details about this new camera.
Update #1: a reader sent me the link to this 50MP CCD full frame sensor.
Update #2: New Hasselblad mirrorless camera rumored to be announced on June 22nd at 14:00 (CET).
Update #3: the first teaser is already only + additional info.
There are new rumors about an upcoming M-mount camera with unique shape and CCD sensor with a resolution greater than 24MP.
There were some reports last year about Voigtlander considering to start a new line of digital cameras. If that's the case, this will be a very interesting development: Leica will be finally getting a real rangefinder competitor.
