The camera is equipped with a 50-megapixel CMOS sensor but with an added WiFi module. The WiFi update makes it possible to connect the camera to the Hasselblad Phocus Mobile software on [iPhone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/capture-one) sand [iPads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/equinox-2). Other newly introduced features include Live View, which grants the ability to zoom in on a live image on the rear LCD screen even when the camera is not tethered to a computer. The Hasselblad H5D-50C will be available for purchase in November for around $27,700. However, if you already own a H5D-50c without WiFi capability, you will be able to upgrade between January and March 2015 for only about $1000. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 35% | Activity: 48% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/photography) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Wifi-enabled Cameras:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop affordable and user-friendly WiFi-enabled cameras for professional photographers and enthusiasts. - **Mobile Photography Software:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create advanced mobile photography software that allows seamless connectivity and control with WiFi-enabled cameras. - **Live View Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate Live View technology into cameras to enhance the photographer's ability to preview and adjust settings in real-time. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Professional Photography:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Introduce WiFi-enabled cameras and accessories specifically tailored for professional photographers. - **Mobile App Development:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop mobile photography software that can control and enhance the capabilities of WiFi-enabled cameras. - **Consumer Electronics:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create affordable WiFi-enabled cameras with advanced features catered to photography enthusiasts. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ultra-High Res Mirrorless Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/x2d-100c.md) - [Fast-Focus Medium-Format Camera Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hasselblad-907x-cfv-100c-system.md) - [Limited-Edition Mirrorless Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hasselblad-x2d-100c-earth-explorer-edition.md) - [Lens-Integrated Travel Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/travel-camera.md) - [Advancing Imaging Digital Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fujifilm-xt5.md) - [Photo Editing Mobile Expansions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/capture-one.md) - [High-End Full-Frame Camera Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leica-q3.md) - [High-Resolution Mirrorless Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fujifilm-1.md) - [Compact Versatile Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/canon-eos-c50.md)
