From that it is easy to see why there may have been very few produced in those couple of years. While the change to digital is obviously a factor it is probably not the major factor involved here. In fact I would think its effect on new medium format sales is more from digital causing there to be a lot of low mileage used cameras on the market while the economy generally is in the dumps.
Make no mistake though, digital is rapidly replacing film for everyday uses just like CD's did LP's. When I was in Radio Shack the other day, there amoungst the DVD players and home theater receivers, was a brand new, just released... Turntable! Which should put things into perspective.

I'm not sure what these figures represent.
I don't think it can be individual sales;
under 1000 units sold just isn't credible.
Are we, perhaps, missing a factor of 1000? Even that sounds low, but at least believable.
I wonder how many Hasselblads were sold in 2003? ---------------- Not sure. Herb did say that was the number produced/made, not sold.
I.E. Churned out of a factory.
But those are significant figures too.
