We wouldn't use the word "prosumer" to describe Hasselblad, but fresh reports claim that might be changing very soon. It seems Hassy will be breaking into the prosumer market with a brand new camera, and it could happen as soon as the middle of next week.

Photokina starts exactly one month and one day from now, and in addition to the myriad cameras we're expecting to see announced at the trade show, rumor sites are also reporting on a few Sigma lenses they expect will make their debut.
The rumor sites are hard at work when it comes to Pentax's soon-to-be-released medium format shooter, the 645z, and it looks like it paid off. In addition to the leaked photos and details from yesterday, we now have a comprehensive spec list that contains some very interesting tidbits indeed.
