Hasselblad says the 22 Mpixels sensor is 37x49mm, which, if my math is correct, is slightly larger than two 35mm frames. In addition they say, "Thanks to its unique Double Duration Circuit technology (patent pending), the H1D runs more than twice as cool as similar digital camera systems, for cleaner images, true 16bit colour depth and double the battery life." Of course, I haven't a clue as to how accurate this all is, but I've no reason to doubt the claims at this point.
