Yes
After visiting the focus show today im thinking about getting a digital back for my Hasselblad. I tried the 16 megapixel Hasselblad one on their stand and was really impressed but i know that Leaf and Phase One also do backs for Hasselblads as well.
Can anybody give me any advice as to which is the best to go for etc...

I aspire to be in your position; choosing which blad to buy :)

When the time comes, I'll be asking you this very question!

What budget do you have? As some of the newer, high resolution ones will cost a bomb. Not sure if this helps, but I have started compiling a list of all digital backs avaialble at the moment, with their respective sensor sizes and resolutions. The sensor size is something worth keeping in mind, as it will give you a crop factor on your existing blad lenses.

PhaseOne P 25 48.9 x 36.7 mm 22 MP
PhaseOne P 21 44.2 x 33.1 mm 18 MP
PhaseOne P 20+ 36.9 x 36.9 mm 16 MP
PhaseOne P 21+ 44.2 x 33.1 mm 18 MP
PhaseOne P 25+ 48.9 x 36.7 mm 22 MP
PhaseOne P 30+ 44.2 x 33.1 mm 31.6 MP
PhaseOne P 45+ 49.1 x 36.8 mm 39 MP
PhaseOne P 65+ 53.9 x 40.4 mm 60.5 MP
Leaf Aptus-II 6 44.0 x 33.0 mm 28 MP
Leaf Aptus-II 7 48.0 x 36.0 mm 33 MP
Leaf Aptus-II 10 56.0 x 36.0 mm 56 MP
Mamiya ZD Digital Back 36.0 x 48.0 mm 22 MP
Hasselblad CF-22 36.7 x 49.0 mm 22 MP
Hasselblad CF-22MS 36.7 x 49.0 mm 22 MP
Hasselblad CF-39 36.7 x 49.0 mm 39 MP
Hasselblad CF-39MS 36.7 x 49.0 mm 39 MP
Hasselblad CFVII 36.7 x 36.7 mm 16 MP

Hope this helps.
 
considering you also lose wide angle with digital backs as there all crop, its doubtful there will be a fullframe 6x6 made as it looks like the future is fullframe 6 x 4.5 sensors. Some digital backs dont do long exposures, and have poor/low ISO settings.
