What choices. Car or camera, College education or camera. Down payment on a house or camera. It most be great to have that kind of money.

I wonder if anyone in UHH owns one of these and could share a few shots with us!

Interesting. After buying, what would be the resale value? If Hasselblad or third party would produce a full 56x56 digital back for Hasselblad "V" system, having perhaps pixels (let's say the size of pixels in a Nikon's D4s), would shine the market. Since this medium fodmat area is about 3.6296 times the area of 24x36; this would make this a 58 Mp back. Sounds low? Not at all. It's not sensor size that matters, but the size of pixels in the sensor. The count of pixels is based on the size of pixel times the area of the sensor. For me, Hasselblad has let me down. Spending more than $15,000 for its system, only collecting dust for a system, that can be easily brought back to life.

It's not necessarily "rich guys" that are using these cameras, but in many cases simply photographers employed by a company or institution that has purchased the high-end camera to be used for projects.

Well, except maybe for the diamond-studded camera. I imagine only a "rich guy" would care to blow money on something like that. Or perhaps a disgruntled employee in the acquisitions department, out to bankrupt the company with frivolous purchases!
