Which film camera is this?

[Astairical]

I've always wondered what kind of camera Elvis Costello is holding in this album cover: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/819fjJ-sqSL._SL1500_.jpg

And is it the same as the camera he uses in the first few seconds of this music video?

Just curious!

Hasselblad 500C.

edit - Bingo! we have a winner. Martin beat me to it - on the cover of the album is a Hasselblad.

In the beginning of the video is an antique large format view camera, can't make out enough detail to tell what company might have made it. It was an antique even when the video was made!

Good song for a Friday.

Actually that's a 500CM since the lens is a black T*

It may not even be a real camera. I've seen look-alikes made for decorating.

I belive it was shot by Chris Gabrin there is a little story about it here.
