Yes agree but if a buddy ever say's "do that again," after showing them a trick, don't do it. Kai should've known better at his age, it does not drop, do the battery again...drops it! LOL
These guys always take me back to when photography wasn’t work but a goofy fun thing I did. I love that I can do it as my job, but these guys remind me to not take myself, or most anything, too seriously.
What an amazing new camera. It sounds like a tool id really love to use. Focus confirmation on the manual focusing mode, and giving the manual focus mode a quick ring click away is a beautiful touch. The 100mp image has insanely capable of zooming in, as long as you capture something in focus. The grip looks really comfortable. To me, this is a no compromises, no budget, highest quality available type of camera. It does also mean it might feel scary to be a proper travel camera because of the cost.
Kai, please never stop making videos. I don't even care about this camera, but your entertaining style and observations just makes things so fun to watch. They make me happy. Keep up the good work.
It's funny you mentioned the old DigitalRev days before you, Lok, and Alamby. Since you all got on the scene you've been peak reviews and humor. I've followed you two since day 1. Thanks for everything!
the fact that you two still are making content even after you torched, burned, flamed, dropped, painted in pink, drowned so much kit baffles the mind. The reason: because it's bloody good, honest, entertaining ! keep on dropping good sirs, keep on dropping!! XD
Am I the only one seeing a huge amount of vignetting in those pictures? I mean it works, but one would assume that'd at least be corrected in-camera. Absolutely would LOVE to own this.
This is revolutionary. It is to my knowledge the first medium format camera that can be used as a "normal" camera. Thanks to being very small (in terms of medium format), having IBIS and now also auto focus. Or has AF been a thing for medium format already? I have been out of the loop for a while tbh.
@@OfficialEthern1ty Everyone forgets Fuji. They have an absolutely amazing camera lines, but no one reviews them.

@@Philtho i did a few article about the gfx and mostly shoot with it. Feel free to check my IG :) Gfx camera is imo, the best system for landscape photography
Lmao Fuji did that years ago with he GFX100 and than again in 2021 with the GFX100S. This is an over priced also ran with less features, worse AF, and less lenses. And the GFX100S is cheaper. Even the GFX100 is cheaper if you get it used.
@@Philtho Check out a channel called GxAce. He has some Fuji love. Also, it is by far the best production out of any photo youtubers. In fact, it is among the best in production quality out of anything on youtube. We're talking feature film stuff, on a relatively small channel. A lot of the frames in his videos are pure video and photography porn. In the best way possible.
Yeah... But then you have to tether the camera to ingest frames / footage. Especially in the case of video it's pretty conceivable that you could want to shoot more than one card (or equivalent internal storage) in one shooting session. It's a nice idea, but I think two cards are still the better option there. And CFExpress cards aren't all that far behind SSDs these days?
@@MarkVO but then that card has to be as fast as the internal storage to keep up, which to be fair CFExpress isn't far off as I mentioned, but then you realize "why would I solder in half my storage if CFExpress is the bottleneck anyway?" NAND flash has a very finite lifetime and wear could become an issue with long-term heavy use. That said for this camera specifically, I heard it has no video capability whatsoever, so maybe it's unlikely you churn through its internal storage lifetime any time soon, but I can't imagine that's a fun replacement in say 5 or 10 years.
@@JMurph2015 based on the pictures on their website, the SSD looks like a super standard M.2 SSD that should be accessible and easy to swap out after a bit of disassembly
if you're going to have a tilty screen, have it tilt up and back so the viewfinder isn't blocking it. pentax figured that out on their 645z almost a decade ago. :P
I have to say this keeps cropping up from time to time - This is a breathtaking piece of Swedish medium format camera body goodness, but Hassy' lenses don't seem to receive as much praise from what I've seen, I wonder if some Uber pro types out there might experiment with this body and Fuji GFX glass? I predict smiles all-round...

The glass is excellent, actually. Fuji GF lenses are also great, but not better. It was the functionality of the system that was lacking a bit.

@@MrPanohead I remember there had been some issues with the early lenses but I can't remember what it was. I don't doubt that they got that sorted out but that is obviously not what you expect when you pay those prices.

Not just because of the way the old lenses are basically obsolete now (although HB has a history of doing that in the H-system) but also because of the DJI acquisition. I just don't trust that company.
Great video on so many levels. At least the battery is not that expensive. My biggest question is how bad is rolling shutter if you adapt lenses....horrible..not...etc. Love the images and the review commments. It is a real street option now. Well done H.
I used to work across the street from the Hasselblad factory. I ate at the same lunch restaurants as them for years. Took the same bus and ferry. Bought my bananas at the same 7/11. And yet. I've never in my life held a Hasselblad camera in my hands. How unfair is that? 😭
YO, I just seen the ad by Hasslebad on my feed and was surprised to learn they had a new camera. Then Kai’s review is the vid I saw on me feed. I SEE YOU BRO!! lol
Looks like a sweet camera. For the moment my Sigma Quattro H with 1.4 and 1.8 lenses output film like colors with medium format quality image quality but the raw software is very laggy.

@@oetproductions8101 New lenses have their leaf shutter But honestly, in a mirrorless world mechanical shutter is becoming a relic of the past. I've been mostly using my Sony in "silent mode" for a few months now
Medium format digital sensors are fucking EXPENSIVE. This sensor is a 43.8x32.9mm BSI sensor. That's a LOT of area for a single sensor. As an example of the exponential increase that large sensor sizes, have you seen cameras that use Sony's IMX411 sensor? It's even bigger, at 53.36x40.01mm, and the CHEAPEST camera I can find that uses said sensor is the Phase One iQ4, which costs $40-50K just by itself.
As much we all love your sense of humor and uniqueness , you both need to focus more on serious content making and shooting some photos and let people see it . It looks like two high school boys suddenly found this camera and just mucking around 😜🤣
Followed you for several years now, Kai, and just love your programs humourwise! -But boy, the way that you wear and tear and scratch equipment in just a short periode of time! I'm afraid I would not dare to lend you any item for reviewing! 😂
Do you recommend and prefer the Hasselblad X2D 100C Medium Format Digital Camera Body or Hasselblad 907X 100C? Which two lens you recommend for travel and portraits?
Thanks for a quick first look Kai, love your videos. Do you know if the improved autofocus comes from the lens motor or in-body? I'm wondering if my X1D ii will autofocus better with one of the newer lenses on it. Thanks.
I think the term "large format" instead of medium format(ish), makes kinda sense and I like to use it 😂 Even as someone who shoots a lot of 120 and 4x5. The 33x44 and 645 Sensors these days are the largest ones in the digital realm. Medium format suggests that there is something even larger. And as there is no (widely spread) digital 4x5 camera, I think calling anything bigger than FF simply "Large Format" is totally fine and kinda cool 😛
for me large format is intrinsically tied to the film medium and process - full lens movements, complete manual workflow etc. don't think anything in digital mirrors that and therefore I think it would just be confusing. calling them medium format on the other hand, makes sense to me. as with their film counterparts, you are using a bigger negative/sesnsor to obtain more detail, but in a portable and more rapidly usable format.
OMG. I was thinking to myself that higstreet is such a typical UK highstreet. And realised it was UK after background outfocus came back on focus.

Central shutter suits high-speed flash for this design? Perhaps get Lara or one of your fashion friends in to show it in action. Also, Hasselblad has joined the L-MOUNT - did they give any hints about that? Cheers
Can't believe nowadays they can pack a medium format sensor with 5 axis image stabilization and a tilt screen in a camera body that's barely bigger than my Fuji X100V
This will be super spicy when you adapt some great portrait lenses like the upcoming Meyer Optik Biotar 75/1.5 or any Trioplan 100/2.8, or even the Contax Planar 50/1.4!
except that you can't use them with flash, because this camera only syncs when using the leaf shutter. it's a bit of a trade-off vs. a Fuji GFX or something with a focal plane shutter. Also, on the X1D II, rolling shutter was *ridiculous* with the electronic shutter on adapted lenses, though I would expect the X2D to be somewhat improved
@@chrislonardo the lenses I mentioned shine in natural light and shooting outdoors though, so flash sync speed wouldn't be an issue for me. I find most portraits with flash lighting disturbing anyway.

Cheers
more videos please, we miss you
Can I put the nifty 50 on this? I believe chromatic aberration will look fabulous with a 100MP sensor.
Having the buttons on the tilty flippy screen, one would think that was obvious. All it took was an ikea camera to fix that problem.
Come for the camera review, stay for the Lok quote!
Good to hear Philip K Dick's, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep being quoted from. 😀
Wow that battery is a direct copy of Leica...what collab did Leica have in this???
So Medium Format is the new FF for street photography
Can't believe nowadays they can pack a medium format sensor with 5 axis image stabilization and a tilt screen in a camera body that's barely bigger than my Fuji X100V
This will be super spicy when you adapt some great portrait lenses like the upcoming Meyer Optik Biotar 75/1.5 or any Trioplan 100/2.8, or even the Contax Planar 50/1.4!
except that you can't use them with flash, because this camera only syncs when using the leaf shutter. it's a bit of a trade-off vs. a Fuji GFX or something with a focal plane shutter. Also, on the X1D II, rolling shutter was *ridiculous* with the electronic shutter on adapted lenses, though I would expect the X2D to be somewhat improved
@@chrislonardo the lenses I mentioned shine in natural light and shooting outdoors though, so flash sync speed wouldn't be an issue for me. I find most portraits with flash lighting disturbing anyway.
