Copenhagen-based camera manufacturer Hasselblad has launched its new top-end model, the H4D-200MS, in the market with a hefty price tag of around $45,000.

The 200-megapixel camera, which was announced last September at the Photokina show, actually makes use of a sensor with 50 megapixels resolution but combines six shots into one with the help of Hasselblad's multishot technology.

The multishot technology in the H4D-200MS works by moving the device’s image sensor a tiny amount and capturing a new photo. It compensates for the fact that each pixel on the sensor can capture only red, green, or blue light. The technology combines multiple shots into one.

The sensor in the camera measures 36.7mm by 49.1mm and captures shots with 6132 by 8176 pixels.

The resolution is really impressive for static photos, though it is not ideal for the moving objects.

Other striking feature of the camera is “True Focus” that enables the camera to use sensors to measure the change of movement and adjust the auto-focus setting in real time.

Owners of the H4D-50MS model can return it to the company for getting it upgraded into the new H4D-200MS, at a cost for $9,800.
