Hasselblad’s 39 megapixel H3DII-39MS DSLR brings the multi-shot

It can’t be easy to improve upon a $37,000, 39 megapixel DSLR, but high-end camera manufacturer Hasselblad claims to have done just that with its H3DII-39MS, which adds a multi-shot feature (and $7,000) to the recently-announced H3DII-39 (pictured). Targeted at architectural and still-life photographers, the 39MS essentially takes its sibling’s body and tacks on Hasselblad’s CF-39MS digital back, promising unprecedented performance and image quality when firing off multiple shots of the same scene. Look for this new model in stores (specialty retailers, not Best Buy) starting in January of next year.

Wait a minute, that’s no ghost! Before booking it back to the Mystery Machine, take a closer look: That’s just a man. In a bed sheet. In mid-air. (And he would’ve gotten away with it, too, if it weren’t for you meddling kids.)

William Hundley’s “Entoptic Phenomena” photography series might look haunted at first, but trust us, it’s not. Hundley snaps shots of people as they jump while completely covered in sheets or fabric.

The results? Decidedly paranormal. Best of all, it’s just begging to be tried at home.

Scooby Doo, I guess we didn’t need you after all.
