Leica R9 and Hasselblad HV

[helvetica]

After seeing the press release images of the Hasselblad HV, I couldn't help but notice it's similarity to the Leica R9:

Aside from the fact that it's a rebranded Sony, I thought that was rather striking considering how similar most "black ergonomic blob" form that most DSLR's follow.

Good catch, that didn't even occur to me.

It even has a red spot (IR AF help) at the exact same place, an "acte manqué" in a way.

I just saw the Hassy the other day and was really into it until I read the specs. Digital viewfinder. Hate that. But the framework is different from the Sony.
