Introducing the Hasselblad H3D II with 39 megapixels. Sporting an CCD image sensor of 48×35mm and boasting images of 39 megapixels, it is the largest currently available model and has more than twice the size of even the largest 35mm camera sensors. Also built in is a 3″ bright LCD to view the images and GPS to remind you where you took them.

That's a very nice setup. The thing is, if I was shooting something that required file sizes that large, I'd shoot large format on film and have them drum scanned. :cheers2:

That thing is $32K+ for just the body. It makes the new 1DsIII, at 21MP, look like a steal at $7K. Nikon is rumored to have a 20MP+ body coming out soon as well. Of course, that large sensor in the Hassy has the potential to deliver some amazing image quality and dynamic range.
