    Canon Interested in Hasselblad?

    The quick and direct answer? No.

    A lot has come in over the weekend in regards to the reports that Ventizz Capital will be selling off its ownership of the Swedish camera maker Hasselblad. It's no secret that Hasselblad is in financial trouble, as the whole medium format segment seems to be under capitalized and lacking direction.

    Does Canon have any interest in purchasing Hasselblad? I don't think so. Canon did have Hasselblad's books open a few years ago, but that was probably more of a tire kicking exercise than actual interest in purchasing the company.

    If I had to wager on a purchaser for Hasselblad, I would go with Silverfleet Capital, who owns Danish medium format company PhaseOne. The second option could be Sony, although I think they'll enter the segment on their own.
