22 mega pixel Hasselblad H1D

Has anyone used this camera for aerial photography? I'm thinking of buying onw but I want to she a picture for the air before I do. If anyone has a vertical photo taken from this camera, could you please email me at miketraeger@earthlink.net.

Sweet camera, but UGLY as hell. But the again with a price tag of $22,000 US and a 22 megapixel 37mm by 49mm sensor, I guess looks don't matter. :D

Looks like a video camera. I kinda like the way it looks. :P

I wouldn't kick it out of bed. :mrgreen:

It's not ugly. I'd cash it in for a boat though. This camera for aerial photography? Hmm....how fast is this one? I think they're pretty quick if I remember correctly. Just don't drop it out the plane.

just be sure to get insurance on it just in case you do. :)

i like the way the camera looks. what are you doing from the air that needs something that awesome? spy missions? ;) i'm kidding.

i love the camera

Good Lord that is one massive camera. I don't think I could handle what that thing looks like it weighs...:shock:
