Success Happy

In what ways can the Hasselblad H3D help make your photography business be more successful?

I understand that the real deal is the brain behind the viewfinder, however, more than just rich hobbyists are buying H3D cameras I would guess. They must be attractive to professional photographers as well. Why?

1. I know one of them would put me out of business. The cost is just too high. I suppose the reason is that it is a top of the line medium format camera with the convenience and fast turn around time of a digital. My 503 c/w is a great camera but most of my clients today do not want to wait for the processing of the film. They want the fast access to CD's, prints and flush mount albums that digital offers. I do mostly weddings and events with some portraiture. I don't generally have people wanting to review the photos instantly. I bet a photographer doing fashion or advertising have their clients over their shoulder watching everything. They would want to see the pictures before they leave the studio. This is where the real benefit to the H3D would be. Many young people today would be furious if you showed up for a wedding and didn't have a digital camera. They automatically think that film is an ancient technology. Even a digital point and shoot is better than any film camera in their opinion. They are wrong but what can you do. I would love to get my hands on one of those but I simply can't justify the cost. Even if I could afford one I don't see it improving my business. Maybe someday but not today.
2. Quite simply because 'blads are great quality cameras. They cannot help your business be more successful - that is purely down to the individual or team running the business.
