[QUOTE="Bob Blaylock, post: 391766, member: 16749"] I misread that part of your original post. I thought you were saying that with the discount, the price for the Hasselblad was $2300. Perhaps the idea that anything bearing the Hasselblad brand could be priced at a thousand dollars or less just didn't register n me until I saw it with my own eyes. At its regular price, the Hasselblad Stellar costs so much more than the functionally-identical Sony that it's really hard to even think of justifying the extra cost of the Hasselblad. With this discount, the price of the Hasselblad version isn't really so much greater than that of the Sony version. A quick Google search found a few merchants selling the Sony version for about the same price at which B&H is now selling the Hasselblad version. I know that underneath the fancy trim, they're the same camera, and will take the same pictures, and that in either guise, it is Sony that made the innards of it. [/QUOTE]
