First image samples taken with the Sony 50MP medium format sensor (Phase One IQ250 Back)

The new Sony 50 Megapixel CMOS sensor is not going to be used by Hasselblad only. Also Phase One launched the new IQ250 Digital Back featuring exactly the same sensor. And Luminous Landscape (Click here) is the first website showing first image samples taken with the new Sony medium format sensor! They had no time to make a full Image Quality test but so far they say:

While this is in no way conclusive at this point, we must say that for ISO 6400 we are seeing some very impressive results compared to what is seen with older backs.

UPDATE: Some more image smaples at Pdnonline.

This is the interview with Phase One that talks about the sensor:
