Hasselblad have a camera ready to go with this sensor inside: H3DII-50

It's worth more than my house!

That's about normal for digital medium format. There are some rigs with less resolution going for upwards of $40k.

Okay I was joking. The price I'd seen quoted was around the $40K-45K US which works out at about $75K-80K NZ depending on the day. So its only worth about half the price of my house depending on what glass you want with it

My house is currently valued at $125K NZ

Dream on. Just try and find the older digital Hassies. They're still in five figures. A back alone is around $5k. FILM Hassies still go for four figures.

Frankly, I'm disappointed with the new sensor. They only went from 39MP to 50MP. That's not even as big as the leap from 8MP to 12MP, percentage-wise. But adding the ability to use a tilt-shift cradle so a regular lens can have movements, now that's classy. (dpreview link).
