COLOGNE, Germany, Sept. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Swedish camera manufacturer Victor Hasselblad AB has combined efforts with Silicon Valley-based Foveon, Inc. to create the Hasselblad DFinity, a digital camera developed through the cooperation of two companies who are leaders in their fields. The new camera will be the embodiment of Hasselblad's tradition of developing highest image quality camera solutions for the professionals with the ability of Foveon to develop unique image capture technology. There's no doubt that the Foveon imaging engine, which consists, in part, of three 2Kx2K sensors mounted on a prism, results in superior images. Creating leading-edge CMOS-based sensor technology and reducing color artifacts are two of the pillars that Foveon is based on. We're extremely pleased that Hasselblad, a leader in professional image quality for over 50 years, recognizes the power and purity of this approach,\" said Carver Mead, Foveon's founder and Chairman of the Board. Hasselblad has long been committed to the advancement of digital photography. In 1992 Hasselblad introduced the worlds first 3-shot digital back for use with the Hasselblad medium format camera system, the Hasselblad DB4000. Since then the Hasselblad camera system has become synonymous with high-end digital photography as the most popular system for digital backs. The company has also worked closely with a large number of digital back manufacturers in order to support and develop the various digital back concepts. Hasselblad was also the initiator and close partner to Philips in the development of the 2K x 3K mosaic chip, which is commonly used in many of today's single- shot digital solutions.
