To save you the trouble, its a Sony NEX-7 with a Hassy logo, a very interesting design (It looks neat actually) and a $5000 price tag

Yes, $5000

For an NEX-7 coated in "premium materials"

Can I have some of whatever you're smoking Hassy?

I'd guess this was a joke if it weren't on dpreview...must be something in the water

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the price looks like it's $6500 US? $6500 for a nex 7!? This may be the ugliest camera I have ever seen.

That is one of the stupidest things I have ever heard of. Paying 500% the price of an identical camera on the inside because it has a wood finish and a name brand on it. Lame city. It even uses the same lenses as the Sony (of course because it is a Sony).

Anyone who would buy this would make Leica owners look practical and pragmatic. At least for the price of admission to Leica land you get a compact full frame camera. With this, you get.... nothing.

I actually concede the new Leica M looks great, They combined the Rangefinder with a port to accept a digital viewfinder and came out with an adapter so you can shoot R lenses on it, I actually concede I would buy one if i had the money, Whereas before I just wouldn't be able to justify the Leica because of what i shoot... Still can list a lot of other things id do with the money though :P

well the shutter button has a H on it, I guess that's worth something right.

despite the cost at least they are trying to be different. they better looking than the standard camera look.

I guess if you want a camera that screams "Rob Me!"

I'll buy one to keep in the trunk of my Bugatti in case I pass by (at 400kmh) something worthy of a photo...

I think it's a beautiful camera, but it's way pricey of course!

BTW, LensRentals has a sense of humor..

That said im willing to bet you that an adventurous soul could reproduce the Hassy at a fraction of the cost

LOL, that was brilliant! Roger C. is my favorite lens guru/comedian

Hasselblad Lunar? Should name it Hasselblad Lunacy instead ... only for the rich and foolish.

They could just build a grip/case that looks similar that the NEX7 would fit in.

Apparently there are at least a couple people in this thread who like the looks of the thing. More power to you I guess.

Finally got my hands on one of these bad boys, its pre production but ill make sure to thoroughly test it out for you guys!

I think they made this to make Nex-7 look cheap !! Just like Leica-Dlux-5 Vs Pany-LX5
