Photographer: Do You Need a 100mpx Camera?

The PhotoTellers--Photography Podcast

Who in the world needs a ONE HUNDRED Megapixel camera? Why? The camera is the Hasselblad H6D-100c Medium Format DSLR.

Surfing through a photography Facebook group last week, I stumbled across a guy who owns one, and actually earns a living with it. Full disclosure: When I see someone online talking about their newest gear/fanciest widget/shiniest new whatnot, my initial reaction is to tune out. "It's not about the gear," I chant in my head, "it's about skill meeting art."

This particular guy, though, I couldn't ignore.

I've known Photographer John Hartman for a few years now. Maybe you've heard him on The PhotoTellers discuss light painting HERE, or marketing for Photographers HERE. Aside from his time on the show, I've shared a couple of meals with John, so I knew two things:

1. John isn't the kind of guy to buy gear sheer for fun--he buys an INVESTMENT that he expects to show a (financial) return.
2. John isn't trying to "buy" his way into great photography. Some guys buy expensive stuff to compensate for weak work. Not John.

So I pinged John, 32 minutes later we connected on Skype. Today's episode is that conversation.

What can you expect from today's episode?

1. Obviously--John's opinion regarding the Photographer who can most benefit from this camera
2. Why John says it's actually not about the megapixels
3. The benefit of a 15 stop dynamic range
4. Important insight for the landscape Photographer
5. How John ran a test-run before he bought the camera
6. Is it difficult to handle such large files?
7. Can clients see a difference?
8. Why does John print so much on metal prints?
