Hasselblad’s H4D-200MS lets you capture 200-megapixel (MP) images. But it only have a 50 MP sensor. What’s the magic behind it?

To capture such image or photo, H4D-200MS moves its sensor to take six individual shots and combining it to one. When taking the shot, the camera snaps six different exposures, moving the sensor 1.5 pixels at a time.

The result?

It allows big (high-res) images and gives better color. When the Hasselblad movies its pixels, each pixel site records a red, a green, and a green pixel. Thus, it results to great color accuracy.

Disadvantage

It takes 30 seconds to complete such stunning shot.

Price

$45,000

If you have HD-50MS, you can pay Hasselblad $10,000 to upgrade it for you.
