I don't think I could take anybody seriusly who nthey were holding a Ferrari Hasselblad!

Any functioning camera that comes with a display case is wrong.

But I do like the stainless steel one....

[mho]

the stainless one is fantastic, if i shot 'blads i would have one, but i dont haha

Agreed - the stainless one is sensible and durable but the red is just pandering to collectors. You see versions of the 500 Series with red, green and yellow leather options and gold plating being offered for sale and they've invariably never been used - pretty sad.
