Some have pointed out that the X1DII has a eshutter capable of 1/10000. This is true as of a firmware update, but it was not true at the time I completed my evaluation here.
Great video, wish I could afford one of these, so expensive. I hope to use one of these in the future some day for my career.
me looking at 5 grand cameras with a percent of that in the bank
We all are 😂
Love my X1D ii, 3 lenses in I am heads over heels about it. People's minds explode when they see me in the wild with a Hasselblad. I love the range I can get with it, just the gradation I can capture with it and the wrapping of light around the subject its so awesome. Any equipment that inspires you to shoot is the one for you. It's different for everyone. For me its the Hasselblad.
Yeah I also LOVE the way the X1D ii renders my desert wasteland. It's something special.
@@AndrewGoodCamera same sensor as gfx50 lol
@@szmulek glass + processor is different.
@@rosetta-stxned still nothing u cant do in post with RGB curve to color match and u make a quick preset of the curve adjustment if u want it to look like a hasselblad so bad. besides youre gonna change HSL in post anyways since its gonna be shot in raw. different glass not a big deal unless u like pixel peeping 100% crops
@@szmulek different glass is a huge deal for rendition, flaring, sharpness , and contrast. There is a difference in images, even if it’s not huge. That being said, it’s not worth the extra money IMO
Finally!!! A second video comparing the GFX with another medium format camera instead of a DSLR! I applaud you! Thank you!
Glad to see you back! I love the idea of owning a Hasselblad - because Hasselblad(!)... That being said, I have already decided, I won't buy any more cameras until I have saved up for a high end 35mm rangefinder.
I guess medium format digital cameras for me, are to photography, what Formula 1 race cars are to cars in general (said the cyclist).
Anyway, thank you for another very interesting video.
Glad to see you back 👍
Awesome. One day I will get the fuji
Hi Andrew, does the hassy have Auto-Iso, please ?
Yes certainly
When you shoot in 24x65 mode in the Hasselblad, do you see this aspect ratio in the viewfinder and in the display too? Second question... are the images already cropped in this proportions when you import them in the software for post processing or do you need to crop them again?
Yes. It is a built-in aspect ratio option. If you shoot in JPG, it will come out cropped. If you shoot in RAW, depending on your RAW editor, it will crop to the 24:65 by default, but you can still uncrop it to the full resolution.
@@AndrewGoodCamera Thanks for the info! ;-)
I went with the 50R about a year ago - the X1D not having a shutter was a deal breaker for me. I shoot almost primarily old, adapted lenses, so I needed a body that could use those to the best ability. I don't want to have to deal with the negative effects of an electronic shutter all the time.
I do that and consider getting GFX. How's manual focus assist? Eye aren't as good as they used to 😊
Thanks man! I appreciate the video. I have a feeling Fujifilm will continue to heavily invest in the GFX system. The video functionality of the GFX100 for instance is remarkable. If that trickles down to the more compact GFX’es... and dare I hope, an even more compact GFX model at some point? Would be gold.
Agreed! Good to hear from you, my friend.
Gfx 100s 😁
“Obliterate the background” haha, guilty as charged. Dedicated dials on the Fuji wins it for me too.
So why on earth would anyone obliterate the background in the original. Takes a minute to re-arrange the background in photoshop. Bokeh will be seen as gimmickry in future,
FX f1.4 lenses do just as well at blurring backgrounds . Use Barnak software to compare
Guess I won't know why the absence, but just can't join every YT channel that I follow...
For me (having also a GFX 100), the main reasons I keep going back to my X1d ii are:
1) above all, its color. like you said, colors are just stunning. Skin tones are amazing, its just gorgeous. And that just saves tons of post processing workflow etc... Nothing beats it hands down.
2) the portability. Nothing beats that either
3) optics quality. 80mm 1.9, 30mm 3.5 are enough reason to get a x1D to shoot with them. Nothing compared today. Fuji is coming with a 30 and 80 as well but not as compact. So far nothing on the market that matches it.
4) Like Leica, the camera doesnt get in the way. My GFX 100 is great but man, so many options, menus, etc... too many choices, decision making...... All that gets int the way of shooting IMO.... And again SOOC colors being so awesome reduces the post processing and also doesnt get in the way. You dont have to think how you will edit etc...
Really great points. Hasselblad is making it a harder decision than I would like it to be.
Also, keep in mind the xcd lenses are much better than any lens Hasselblad produced before. Even the H. By miles. Believe it or not the AF on the X1 is still better when you come from H lol.... so personally I think the X system has a great future. If you shoot H6D, the X1D feels like a treat and it’s easy to integrate to your workflow. HB color is consistent across all their digital cameras. So now you have a much more portable HB for some location travel etc. I don’t think they suddenly decided to go after a whole new market with that system.
I am sold on the hasselblad system myself after a VERY long period where the H2 was my last camera I purchased. I still used my 500's shooting film but I am back with 2 XCD lenses, an X1D, and my favorite at the moment the 907x and CFV ii which I use regularly with the XCD 45P and on my 500 series cameras which is a fantastic shooting experience for all of the work I personally like to do.
I a gree and from my POV although comparable, the FUJI cannot compete with Hasselblad. You said it perfectly in "1)" the colors: The X1D (II) or X2D delivers these perfect neutral, yet sharp and authentic images. Color, shadow & highlights in perfect harmony.
Fuji technically completely up to date, doesn't seem to be the right tool in a commercial setting. Like Leica, these two are either wedding photographer tools or someone who does reportage. The Hasselblad is the commercial B2B Camera.
I think the Hasselblad is a much higher build quality, it’s menus system is industry leading and very similar to Leica. The Hasselblad lenses are far far superior and leaf shutters always out perform focal plane shutters, the processor produces better colors and together they produce far superior images. Fuji build is fair, interface is fair, lenses are at bottom for MF systems, while cheaper than Leica S or Hasselblad lenses they bring up the rear. If image quality is the goal with MF, Fuji may not punch that ticket with those lenses.
Сlaim that Fuji lenses are the bottom is insane, especially since Fujifilm has always made optics for Hasselblad.
Hmm I think Fuji GFX has more affordable lenses so makes a lot differences when you buy into „fuller“ frame. But I would fancy a digital back on my Hasselblad 500cm. And use old Zeiss lenses 😍 proper medium.
I get that. I love the look I get with Portra 160 and my 500cm. It’s unrivalled in the overall look and the flextight scans are beautiful. Alt least in my taste. I hope Hasselblad is going further into their heritage. First step is the 907x. In the end an XCD-Camera like the X1d, but with the possibility to use it as a v-System digital back. I tried it and I was amazed. There is some mojo about Hasselblad which they seemed to have lost for a while. The only reason I won’t buy one is the price tag and the sensor size. Hope they‘ll do a 907hv where they use the larger sensor of the h6d. Or even a square one matching the 6x6 format. I don’t even care about megapixels. Everything above 50MP is enough for my taste. I just want the sensor size combined with the pixel-quality of low pixel density sensors.
A 6x6 907x equivalent, where you can use HCD lenses stand alone and the v-System lenses with my 500cm would be my dream system.
Dynamic range is better on the Hasselblad Files vs Fuji. So it is superior for Nightscapes or Fashion with Extravagant Lighting.
I have only tried them for a brief amount of time, but I far preferred the feeling of the Hasselblad.
I use a Smallrig halfcase with the GFX 50r and it solves the grip issue perfectly and allows for easy use with a tripod in both portrait and landscape orientation. I am intrigued by Hasselblad’s colour science though and very much like the quest for in-camera perfection of colours and tonality. For the Fuji system, I am very much looking forward to the 80mm 1.7. I think that will be the perfect combo with the GFX50r. Looking forward to your in-depth videos on the Hasselblad lenses!
My favorite camera is the Hasselblad XPan. Nothing compares to it. I liked the DP0 (21:9) Quattro by Sigma, but prefer the older DP Merrell series for the Foveon Sensor. The Foveon on the Quattros is not the same.. Unfortunately, they do not make a 21:9 version for the Merrell, just have to crop it like that in Photoshop. Prefer the Fuji X series much more over Hassie these days.
That Fuji is the toaster oven of cameras, every time you pull it up to your face. It looks like you’re holding a shoebox. Yikes!!!
As a Sony a9 shooter and Fuji xt’s and 100 I find Fuji for its price point someone comes near the hassy look but I’ve seen real large prints from all those and canons and specifically for portraiture the Hassy just has a magic look that has put it on my bucket list to own in the near future..great review btw mate👍
The hassy looks like something that belongs in the studio only. Whereas with the fuji, I'd still feel comfortable hitting the street with it.
Also unrelated, I commented a few weeks back about moving from Sony to fuji. You along with a few other fuji RUclipsrs really helped me decide on a camera and lens. Very Happy owner of an xt-3 and a 35 f/2. And happily done with Sony. Thank you for the great information that helped me find a camera Im excited to use. Fuji really is different.
Glad to hear you found our videos helpful Bhurnal!
Hi Bhurnal...I also moved from Sony to Fuji, started with the XT-2 and now I have the 50R, of course Andrew help me out decided with his videos and knowledge about the Fuji system.
Just a question, what Sony did you come from?
@@Eduardo_Aguirre Funny, I'm also strongly contemplating making the same move myself. Coming from an A6300 and having an impossible time deciding between the right XT-X or X-Pro X model. Really *really* want a rangefinder, but really want all of the features that come with the XT-X models... choices!
G P if you were asking me...I came from A7RIII
For my style X1D better, most beautiful camera in the world. And best colour accuracy in the world.
Thanks for doing this video. I have, like you, been full format curious for some time. :) I did evaluate the Fujifilm 50r with one of the f2.8 lenses and did absolutely love it. I enjoy shooting Fujifilm and Leica for pleasure but I typically use Sony for my full frame portrait, landscape, etc serious projects. Context aside, instead of buying a Fujifilm 50r and appropriate starter glass, I opted to upgrade my Sony to A7riv && and a Sony 135mm f1.8 for roughly the same coin. While I feel I would have enjoyed the 50r more, I still have my XPro3 and Leica lenses to mess around with. In the end, the Sony 60mp and absolutely beautiful 135mm solves 90% of my higher res needs. I await the day the Fujifilm GFX 100 goes on sale along with some of those lenses.
Just as a side-note. The flash-sync is not really that important. Modern studio strobes have either the ability to use HSS or - just as important - they have a very short flash duration, so you freeze movement anyway. Outside it's a different matter but you can still use HSS.
The problem with LS lenses is that they require regular maintenance and that's very expensive, much more expensive than a camera service for the 50R/50S.
They doo?
HSS is not at all the same in terms of power. Different needs for different jobs and if you depend on lighting control on location a leaf shutter and 1/2000s even 1/500s sync is the difference between needing 500w/s 1000w/s 2000w/s 4000w/s etc... HSS makes your 500w/s strobe more like a speedlight in terms of power which limits distance, modifiers, etc, etc, etc... HUGE difference. Thank goodness there's actually a choice which will not be the same for everyone.
My friend owns the Hass, I own the 50R it wins hand down! 😁 Fuji ☝️
Until you hit that flash sync limit. Plus 16bit vrs 14bit A/D conversion. But ok
@@dustylense do you own the Hass?
@@memcrew1 yes
About the X1D on/off button
This button has two functions cold and hot start/stop
When turning on the camera that is completely shut down you have to make a long button press (a short press will not start the camera) the action is confirmed by the led lighting up at the back of the camera. Same to shut the camera completely down, one long button press.
When you are in a shooting pause, you just make a short button press and the camera goes to sleep mode with almost no power consumption, when you want to take a frame you just make a short on button or release button press and the camera awakes without any lag.
If you want to have full control of this function, best is to deactivate the auto sleep mode in the menu.
Thanks for the note. I still wish it was a switch rather than button.
X1D camera control with buttons is most about first press, then choose with one of the wheels.
values selection is shown on the rear screen or in the EVF when you scroll with the wheel
Somme buttons ave double functions, with sort press and long press.
This control method appeared to my too, weird and messy the first times I had the camera in the hands.
After some weeks of use it appeared very confortable : few buttons that you can find immediately without searching or showing at them, while having the eye on the viewfinder.
I too have cameras with a lot of dedicated buttons everywhere and the problem for me is to find the right button on the right place while having the eye on the viewfinder.
For more complicated menu camera configurations you simply store them in the C1, C2, C3 memories that you select with the big round upper knob.
Oui, tu as raison sur la partie ergonomique. Mais Hasselblad offre d’incroyables résultats photographiques, ce n’est pas le cas de Fuji dont les résultats ne sont pas la hauteur de la taille du capteur !
Here in Norway you can purchase one GFX and GF45mm GF110mm for the same price as the Hasselblad alone. And if you take one Hassy lens with the Hassy, you can take two more GF lenses, in total 4 lenses and a camera, for the same price as the Hassy and one lens...
on the other hand people will call you a Fuji Shooter when you could be called a hasselblad photographer otherwise ;-)
DeKarle1992 And when I am using my Phase One IQ4 150, what are people calling me then? An excellent photographer 🙈😂
@@trondhelgehie6771 they won't call you anything cause you're stuck to the studio ^^
DeKarle1992 Dont have a studio, I am photographing in the nature, and on location 😂
But I see Hasselblad users are in studio all the time...
@@trondhelgehie6771 Oh okay, then it must be even worse than my X1d ii outside the Studio :D I only use Canon RF and Leica for on Location etc. hence speed is important to get the shot.
Regarding the X1DII
It have 1/10000 e-shutter and 1/2000 mech
Use it as standby with instant start, just like your "iphone"
Correct, but the 1/10000 was provided through a firmware update AFTER I had completed my evaluation of it.
Your RUclips video is out of sync
The colors out of the X1D is what would be the selling point. But either is way out of my budget.
Honestly watching MF gear reviews feels a like bit like super car reviews : Interesting but out of reach. I am watching this video more for Andrew & Denae than for the gear.
Wait until you watch mathphotographer channel. Leica monochrome, Noctilux, Nikon Noct Sony A7R4 Phase one XT
Whilst your point is well made I hope this is the beginning of more affordable MF. These days the Fujifilm 50r is oftern cheaper than a used Hasselblad Xpan. Once new GFX models come out the older models will be even more affordable on the used market.
My thing about ISO is: auto works.
If you want to adjust the depth of field then you change the aperture. If you want to change the motion blur, adjust the shutter. ISO is just a compensation for the other two. With new cameras you can set a limit on auto iso. So I know my camera doesn't look good above 6400, so I set a limit on 6400 and leave it on auto. Why would you need to adjust it?
Im waiting on something like 45 P but one wider around 35 and one more tele around 65 then I'll burn cash for them. For the love of god the hassy is super sexy.
Thanks for sharing your experience and shots. It feels like Fuji has spent more time trying to understand their end users and Hasselblad has let visual design come before function... Both are amazing though, but I'd probably go for a 50r as a step up from my X-T2.
I absolutely love the GFX 50R design. Using it every day. Don't have any problem with the grip.
No question Fuji. Based upon lens cost and selection. Hassy much more expensive.
the reason hassy lenses are so expensive is they have leaf shutter mechanism good for high speed flash sync. fuji don't i have the gfx 50r and some gf lenses sync speed 250sec blaaah
@@tedtedsen269 yeah, there ya go. Fuji much more budget friendly, plus you have better range of lenses to choose from.
I absolutely agree with your experience on the Gfx 50R. As much as I would love to keep it, comming from X-Pro2 this was a big quality downgrade at the time as I bought the GFX. It feels horrible in the hands, and that carry over buttons and joystick from the XT line apear tiny on this camera. Also the thick sticking out frame around the screen was a disapointment for me. If Fuji gives this system as much love as they do for the X-Pro line, then I would invest in it again!!!
I never had any issue with my x1d 2 toutch screen.
Great review. Totally agree with on the OOC colors of the X1Dii. Best colors from any camera, I struggle to move one slider in LR. I ended up selling it though, couldn’t live with the lead shutter and terrible electronic one that not only creates banding, but terrible jello effect. Keep up the good work.
Stick with the X-T3 and put the rest of your money in a vanguard index fund.
Been contemplating this exact thing. I have the xh1 and have been thinking about the 100. Back and forth with the 100 and 50r. But also wondering if the smartest move is just investing that cash.
@@SwampWesterner lol. Definately invest the cash. xh1 is an excellent camera and its good exercise for your arms.
Three quick comments. 1. The first thing I thought as I hit play was "Can these be cropped to emulate the X-Pan look that Andrew loves? Apparently, Yes. 2. Hasselblad putting the shutter in the lens seems wasteful. You would be re-buying an expensive component with each lens. I don't understand that. 3. If Fujifilm could get a GFX sensor in something closer to an X100 series format (including leaf shutter!) it would be game over.
1. Yes! 2. Leaf shutters are extremely popular in the studio. 3. Oh man. I would sell plasma on a daily basis to be able to buy an X100V with a GFX size sensor. :)
The advantages of leaf shutter against focal plane shutter are:
Full flash sync for all shutter speeds up to 1/2000s, no necessity of HSS or HS flash sync that looses a lot of power, this is a big advantage for outdoor flash in bright sunlight and big apertures.
Much lower shutter vibrations than focal plane curtains, because modern leaf shutters have 4 tiny carbon leaves, in each leaf pair the vibrations of one leaf is subtracted from the vibrations of the opposite leaf.
Scott Magoon if you did much studio work you would realise the need for a high shutter speed.
Thank you for the in-depth awesome review ! I had both camera as well, and I have to say I got the 50r after seeing your video and I find much much deeper connection with the 50R it is honestly one of the best camera that I have ever used, it just makes you want to shoot , and the image quality is simply stunning ! 50R is simply amazing ! I can't believe I have been missing out on the FUJI world for so long, selling ALL my other cameras and switching to Strictly FUJIs and Ricoh GRIII !
Even though these systems are great, I've been looking at older medium format cameras. Yes, the tech is a lot older but the resolution, depth and color, I think is still there. I saw a Leica S2 (37mp) with a 70mm 2.8 Leica lens with two batteries and CF card for $2800. I couldn't believe my eyes. Should have purchased it. My loss. Even some older digital Mamiya 645s, and Hasselblads are priced under $3000 with a lens and other accessories. You just have to continually be on the hunt on eBay to find these great deals. Nice vid as usual.
When deciding on the Hass speed shouldn’t be your consideration because it’ll just leave you frustrated. Having said that the X1D II is far from slow, it takes a couple seconds to load up when first switched on but that’s not an issue for me. It’s a thing of beauty. Oh and re the lcd screen being unresponsive .. mine is super responsive so I’m not sure why you had that issue.
The Fuji is just fugly and it’s a reason I dumped my Sony alpha’s, Sony glass is phenomenal but their bodies lack imagination. The colour science on the Hass too, magical pics all the time.
This was great. Thanks! And, for what it’s worth, I agree with you on the 3 dial thing. In fact, I’ve been dreaming of 4 dedicated dials; one each for shutter, aperature, iso, and white balance. First world problems, I know, but I hate fiddling to find secondary buttons for adjusting iso and WB. One can only dream! Cheers.
Nice comparison of these 2 systems, Andrew! In your opinion, if you were a 100% stills only, landscape, and small product photographer, which system do you think would work best, including evaluating lens sharpness and detail rendition, assuming one shoots 100% tripod-mounted, and 10 second self timer for optimum sharpness? Thank you!
I'll stay with my D850 and Hasselblad 503cx.
Yes, I know the D850 isn't a medium format but has 46mp.
Grins
I may get the the next Hasselblad X1D but I need about 4fps and much better AF.. ( Fuji should buy Hasselblad and make it their Deluxe division )
Hasselblad also has an electronic shutter to 1/10,000s. ; )
Hi Steve. Ive been enjoying your recent reviews. It is true that recent firmware has increased the electronic shutter. When I did my evaluation of the device it had not yet been updated and was only capable of, I believe, 1/2000.
The Fuji medium format digital cameras hardly fit in the "budget" category.
That word "budget" of course suggests some compromises.
But the truth is, Fuji has made NO compromises whatsoever, and you get much more of a digital camera than manufacturers which charge five and ten times as much money. Fuji cameras are built like Sherman Tanks, and the Fuji color science is superb and very pleasing. The point is ... Fuji outsells all other medium format digital cameras, as well as DX cameras. The only thing which Fuji doesn't outsell are the full frame model cameras, simply because Fuji manufactures no such cameras. Fuji is on top of the world ... and they know it.
Man these cameras really don't seem worth it unless you're doing some really high end product photography or are just really medium format. I'm having a hard time even fantasizing about owning one of these when you'd have to deal with these shortcomings. Better to just rent one for whatever project when you have the time and budget.
"They weigh around 27 ounzes..." - WTF (the world) It could be 100kg, nobody would ever know.
I decided to get a 50R, can't wait for it to arrive. Will be using a few Pentax 67 lenses with it.
Christian Lainesse it’s amazing my friend. Hope you enjoy it as much as I have. Would love to see the work you create!
You should compare with z7ii or high res Sony, there is very little difference and many more lenses to choose from.
Isn't most of the difference in MF vs 35mm lens compression? The difference used to be CCD vs CMOS , but now I think all are cmos. Orange button is maybe due to Sony making much of it?? I could be wrong, but cant ignore the possible parallel.
In summary, both products are still pretty raw, pun intended and cater to a slow thoughtful shooting. Probably good for landscape and studio photog but less for wildlife, street , or as “all rounders”.
With the Hasselblad you're listening to the lens, so shuttersound varies per lens 😀
1:34, yes, they do offer better cropping options, but don't forget, they also offer better NOT cropping options for many who never output to 3:2. If you do mostly 4:3, or even 1:1, you actually use all/more of those pixels you paid for.
Budget . ??? Somebody's got their inheritance...
I've owned both and just could never like the 50R... I respected it but never liked shooting with it. It felt huge, clumsy and not at all streamlined from the 50S to call it a travel camera like some do. The X1D2 is more expensive but I would rather pay the money and be happy. If the Fuji Omega comes out I would consider that for studio work but for now Fuji remains my ultralight travel gear (XE3) and the X1D2 is my everyday home gear and no compromise gear that I will pack if the trip is worth it.
How come you left out the Pentax 645Z 51mp MF which is priced between the X1D and GFX?
x2dとgfx100s共に
所有して比較しました
自分の撮影にはgfxが合ってるかなx2dもコンパクトでデザインも素晴らしいから良かったんだけどシャッターレリーズの不具合なのか設定なのかシャッターのトラブルが多いので処分しました
I think you have eyes for the Hasselblad,Do you see a problem attaching Canon tilt shift lenses on the Hasselblad?
About the lack of flipscreen on the X1D.
You can see the liveview image and press the shutter on your iPhone/iPad with the Phocus Mobile application that connects automatically to the camera when turned on.
The best feeling...is knowing that you are fortunate. Being Thankful these days is a rare blessing. Savor it. :)
I am thankful that I got my Fuji GS645S working again. I love it more than my digital gear. Great video.
Sadly the best budget 'medium format' camera is the original X1D. I bought one a few months after launch. The price has tumbled, although it's still a fantastic camera. The colours are excellent.
I loved my X1D 50c. Disliked the slowness of the X1D 50c.
Why is medium sensor bigger than full frame? In normal language medium is used as something less than full.
Not sure why I'm watching this, I have almost no interest in medium format. :D Good video, though!
Lol same!
Thanks for watching! :)
Camera Prize is just one but also the lenses on Hasselblad are quite expensive, aren`t it?
Budget? Who are you kidding mate? You must have very deep pockets.
Having used both these cameras, although rented!. Just one thing that totally makes X1D II worth it over Fuji 50R/S.
16Bit RAW!
The colours are out of this world and with right post processing techniques the 16Bit RAW files truly shine. The kind of highlight gradation it holds is truly astounding. 16Bit alone is worth the premium, the next MF camera price wise that shoots 16Bit is Fuji GFX 100, and that's roughly 10k.
It's only 14 bit raw, oversampled to 16 bit in post processing... from what I understand.
Although X1D2 is 14bit upsampling to 16bit. The colour output from X1D2 really amazing. I love the advantage of its lens leaf shutter that enable high speed flash sync to 1/2000 that I can shoot with fill flash in daylight (Nikon compatible flash). Long time exposure can be insanely up to 68 minutes. Most other cameras cannot do that. I have the camera so I know.
Waiting for the hass HD mk3 to come out then the mark 2 used market price should make them a great pickup
Love your videos, just switched to Fuji and got an X-T30. Your videos really made me fall in love with the brand and the system!
what's the point of mechanical shutter in an mirrorless digital camera?
Budget 😂
;)
Well: why did you not say: The Hasselblad is not up to date. Full stop. That would have saved some time and been more honest. Tx for the review!
The firmware was current at the time of recording, as I stated.
@@AndrewGoodCamera I was not talking about any firmware. The camera is not nearly reaching the Fuji and you could have said that in your resume. Still very good review, Tx!
Pentax 645z!
Bravo! Beautiful! Homages! ⚡⚡⚡ JAR
How about the GFX50R vr the 50S??
The less dial button i have the happiest i am on my X1D II.
Great review😊 Good points.
Though the X1D II has an electronic shutter option up to 1/8000s too.
Looks like the old spec I was looking at was wrong. It actually goes up to 1/10000 in the latest firmware, now that I'm pulling that up. I should have verified that. Thanks for the note.
Maximum one second black out if you shoot in manual mode.
How many pixel Size XIDII had ?
Thanks for the video :) I hope Fuji continue with medium format, and hopefully the price eventually comes down a bit more. If they can get a MF camera bodies down to about £2000 I'm 100% in, but I would still need to use legacy and third party? glass
What strap do you have on the 50r? Thanks!
Any comments on the Fuji lenses? Thanks
Think I’ll hang onto my 645Z
This Hasslebald is worth it honestly
"Budget" Of what country?
Budget has nothing to do with income, it's relative to the usual cost of a certain type of product. Medium format cameras are usually 10s of thousands of dollars, so 5 grand is a fraction of that
Good video. But I get the feeling there is a variable missing in that equation. With the same sensor there is also the Pentax 645Z. It's a bulkier camera but a real tool and fun to work with because of the grip and the OVF.
The Pentax is also a true medium format camera, which neither the Hassy nor the GFX aspire to, if "only" a 645. It is, however, twice the weight of the X1D II (1550 gr vs 770 gr). The price drop to $5000 helps, though.
@@leonardnorwitz3537 Mirrorless is in today. It makes sense for cameras to become significantly lighter and smaller, at least for me. Sometimes, however, I get the impression that this is quickly compensated for by the size and weight of modern lenses. Everyone must determine for themselves the essential factors to make the decision on which camera it should be. The OVF and the handling, the grip of the Pentax were decisive for me in direct comparison to the Fuji. And there are plenty of very good and inexpensive used lenses for the Pentax on the market.
“uninspired brick” 😂🤣
Fuji wins it’s not even close.
That 50R is sooooo ugly 😛
I want the gfx 50r so bad
If they can utilize something why not just use it? 10 cent words suck. Anyway, great video! I love that you talk specifically about these two as others haven't done so in such a useful and interesting manner.
OMG, those Hasselblad photos!!!!
