If you feel self-conscious carrying a big Hasselblad around, you can get this II version of the The Hasselblad Stellar I. The price is $2,395, but it's a Hasselblad.

If you'd prefer something less costly, you can get the Sony RX-100 II for $648, basically the same camera.

B&H has a special edition stellar for under $1,000. I'm undecided.

Hasselblad didn't even choose to use the RX-100M3 version, so it's only the Donald Trump/Mit Romney designer version of Sony's RX-100M2 and only costs $999 through B&H.

Would you pay $250 extra for the "BIG H" logo and the fancy wooden grip? Do they make the photos better? For an extra $100 they throw in the official Donald Trump wig though.

I thought it was strange that they were using the previous generation Sony. It's probably because "development" took so long. :D

Must be a real production backup at the "BIG H" logo plant and the wood carver's union must have labor problems.

Leica did the same thing with their P&S too. No EVF or OVF, but I think the EVF can be purchased for the "TRUMP" Hassy since it has the RX-100M2 hot shoe. So add another $250 or so to the already $999.
