The Sony Cyber-shot RX100 is a seriously hot camera, scarceits understated black-box dustwon’t win a pizzazz contest. The Hasselblad Stellar is the same cameraas the Sony RX100, gussied up with fancy accoutrements such as a zebra-wood grip, a matte gold-colored body, handsome black packaging, and a encompassingleather wrist strap.
It’s the point-and-shoot equivalent of the Pentax LX Special coinEdition. It’s a Sony RX100 in a Tampa Bay Buccaneers helmet, moseying through a wild-west theme park. It’s a really attractive camera. Want.
Based on mensesexchange rates, the Stellar costs $1,958.63 (1,480 Euro). That’s three times the RX100’s already-beefy $650 sticker. Hasselblad hasplaythis game before, giving the excellent Sony Alpha NEX-7 mirrorless camera a high-end makeover, renaming it the Lunar, adding one of those fancy weltcases, and selling it for more than five dollar billtimes the price. So, by Hasselblad’s playbook, this camera is a deal.
The big gainto the Stellar is its handgrip. Not sure you really need one, but it looks excellent. The stock version of the RX100 doesn’t have a grip, but it’s tinyenough to hold comfortably with one hand without it.
If you must: cargo areaoptions include carbon fiber, mahogany, walnut, padauk wood, and olive wood.
Beyond the aesthetic differences (and the leather bits), there are no differences between the Stellar and the RX100. That’s good, because the RX100 isarguablythe best compact camera available right now. It has an F1.8 aperture at the widest end of its 3.6X zoom (28mm to 100mm), it has full manual controls, it shoots RAW solacephotos and 1080p video at 60fps, and it fits in your pocket.
