H3D vs H3DII

[Jacephoto]

I have been using H3D-39 for the past 6 mths now. My local dealer offered me an upgrade to H3DII-39.

What is the primary difference? Can someone enlightened me? Thanks!

Some time ago I asked similar questions elsewhere. The following are the replies I received - apologies to the original authors.

Differences between Hasselblad H3D and H3D11

The main difference is 3 "display, which is better than the old, very clear, precise (you can now determine the exposure).
New metal flap slot for CF card.
Newer better cooling, without fan. Better quality, less Noise.
The new IR filter.
Ultrafocus newer generation.
New stronger socket for FireWire 800
HC 80 is very nice and good quality. My favorite is HC 2.2/100 and HC 4/120 Macro. Very good is HC 50-110 but it is too heavy for me.
Amazing 4/28mm if you need extreme wide lens.
CF work through the lens adapter, we have confirmation of sharpness in body. Unfortunately, we have to manually propel a shutter and set the focus manually.
H3D 39 + lens should cost about 7000 Euro. New H3DII 39 + lens cost 14995 Euro without taxes.

Thanks Keith!

You're very welcome.

Sorry, I should have edited that first reply as it had some less than relevant info about lenses etc.
