Found it here.....
"The new, state-of-the-art CFV-50c, which will have an €11,000 price tag, boasts the same feature-rich functionality and performance level as the acclaimed H5D-50c camera - providing V System users with a unique opportunity to benefit from latest digital capture technology, including outstanding ISO capability."

Or an RZ67 ProII? Doesn't this V-mount offering undercut the Phase One IQ250, not just on V bodies but also in either V-mount or M-mount on an RZ67? (Bigger crop factor on a 6x7 though, obviously...).
Excellent news overall - well done Hasselblad (can't recall the last time I ever said that!)
Ray
That's correct as far as I can tell - just as with the 50c on the H5, live view is via tethering only, which is a shame. If you wanted to use this on a tech cam, that's a drawback.
Still, €11k ~ $15k ... which is about $20k less than the P1's offering for the same sensor, the IQ250. So this is possibly about the most 'sensible' (given that $15k is still a significant chunk of change) introductory price for a new DB ever.

P.S. I wonder what P1 will do price-wise? Probably nothing - I can imagine henrik håkonsson is currently sitting at his desk with his eyes shut and his fingers in his ears...

WOW! If my car were worth anything, this would be the time to sell it 
Couldn't agree more - but in the context of what's gone before, at least this is a step in the right direction.
Given this DB's price-point, along with that of the 645Z - which seems to be garnering high-praise indeed - the current line-up of other DB offerings look embarrassingly overpriced.

Hasselblad charges $15,000 because they know photographers with 500/200 Series cameras are willing to pay that much. Changing to Pentax would mean a considerable extra cost for new lenses, often at as much as $5,000 each. In addition, to use film with the Pentax, an extra camera body is needed, adding considerable weight and bulk. The Pentax is a great camera, but it is what it is: an integrated DSLR.
Add to that the fact that the V-mount can be adapted to some other bodies, like the GX680, and an assortment of large format and technical camera systems, and this looks like a rather sweet deal. If I had the money, I would have ordered this right away.

Not quite the back I had been dreaming of, but it´s nice to see that Hasselblad has not completely abandoned the V-System!

And yes, it can shoot square indeed. But the sensor area will be even smaller than with the old CVFII backs :-(
