CORRECTIONS:
* It is possible to move the AF point without using the touchscreen (ie; when using the EVF) by clicking the rear dial button (the dial is also a push button as well as a scroll wheel), and this then toggles between the dials adjusting the aperture and shutter speed to moving the AF horizontally and vertically.
* Also, when using the EVF, you can also use your right thumb on the screen like a touchpad, so as not to take your eye away from the EVF.
* Phase Detect AF will also work on the existing XCD lenses, and not just the three new lenses. The new lenses do have upgraded focus motors though, so combined with the X2D and PDAF they will be slightly faster to focus, but only marginally, and the existing XCD lenses will be faster to focus on the X2D due to the PDAF being on the sensor and not lens dependent.If also referring to older lenses such as the H and V lenses, if the H lens supports AF (some do, some don’t), then again they will be faster due to the PDAF being able to detect the focus faster, with the limitation being the slower speed of the focus motor combined with the heavier lenses. If the lens doesn’t support AF, then it will of course not focus at all, regardless of PDAF.Therefore, in summary, if the lens is AF compatible, then the PDAF will still make the focusing faster, but for optimum AF speeds, the new XCD lenses would provide this.
* Other lenses can be adapted to fit on the X2D by using third-party adapters and the electronic shutter mode. The electronic shutter does present some limitations on use though, but it is technically possible and many X2D owners do use third-party lenses despite the limitations, so it can have its practical benefits.

Controversial or are we on the same page?
Much like Leica, it's a luxury brand and status symbol.
I mean, 10 years ago a hasselblad is key in fashion and car industry where they were used to take billboard prints. In current day? Yeah abit of a luxury item, but if they can somehow develop a H7D with the same sensor size as the H6D 100c with the X2d price it may be more relevant.
I think it's just a matter of if one can afford it or not. If so and not having features like the faster autofocus aren't a deal breaker, then sure, why not. I'd happily chose the Hasselblad. And there's no shame in choosing a more expensive camera for the quality and the feeling you get while using it - that's what I think.
@@JaredDoyle76 and like the Leica it has some very specific use cases that make it the only viable option (this and the GFX).
Not a pro production tool, but the first camera that has felt as good as in my hand as the Mamiya 6 (also not a pro production tool). Love everything about the concept of Fuji's cameras and have owned 4, all of which were sold bc of the UX. I shoot only for pleasure and don't want to feel like I am wrestling with a Windows 95 machine the whole time. The X2D reverses that frustration-to-joy ratio. The AF, especially with the new lenses, is the most *accurate* I have seen in MF. Though ostensibly less useful than the Fuji 100s' (alleged) eye-detect, the accuracy is superior. I kind of like the touchscreen focus - a matter of personal taste and use style. The colour is, again for my tastes, surprisingly superior to the Fuji. Did not expect that, but its the best I've experienced. Especially on skin. The IBIS is unreal. Between that and the leaf shutter, this camera really uses its full resolution. The high-rez, high-mag EVF is the first I haven't hated. The absence of C-AF is bad, and the absence (for now?!) of selectable 1:1 and XPan crops in camera is utterly inexcusable (can you say premature release?). All that said, the X2D is a flawed, insanely expensive, luxury device. But it is a joy to use and the results are peerless. (And you can adapt everything to it bc of the electronic shutter).
For landscape photography this is a dream camera. The colours are astonishing (better than Fuji) and the OIS and low noise equally astonishing. Absolutely beautiful camera but it’s a very specific tool for serious photography.
I like the design off the camera, looks cool, never used medium format so wouldn't know if that's something I like. It does look like a camera focused on "slow photography" taking it slow, getting into the moment of creating what you want, getting home, offloading it, sorting through it editing the goods ones and printing a book. That's the vibe the Hasselblad is giving off for me. It does look like a cool piece of tech as well.
I started my career with Med format film cameras - Mamiya 645, Mamiya C330, Mamiya RB67, and I still shoot with them... I have been lusting after this camera for a while, and will probably splurge on one this Spring. You do have to slow down, and be much more thoughtful about what you're doing.
Hi Lizzie, you can actually move the focus area with your thumb when looking through the EVF. It's like a digital substitute for the joystick, I use that function also with my Sony, I like it better than the joystick... But that's a matter of taste I guess.
You can go to the General-Settings of the Hasselblad X2D and there under the item "Touch". Here you could choose which area of the display you want to use to move the focus area while looking through the EVF.
A bunch of camera systems have gone to the "thumb on the screen" option to change focus position now. Some even allow the user to choose left or right side of the screen. I think it's incredibly intutive way to move the focus point around very quickly and happy that it's not propriatary (not that I know) to one system.
That's the "quality" of nowadays reviewers...
For me whether or not you love shooting with a camera is everything. Hasselblad for me every time
A nice review of the Hasselblad X2D 100C, Lizzie, with some great looking photos from your shoot. However, being an owner of an X2D with an 2,5/38V and three older XCD lenses - 3,5/30mm, 2,8/65mm and 3,5/120mm Macro, I have a couple of points I would like to quiz you on. You stated that you can't adapt any other lenses to work with it, though that is absolutely not true, I've seen many great images taken with Leica and Nikon lenses, as well as older Zeiss made Hasselblad V lenses that all have to rely on the electronic shutter - you just have to watch out for rolling shutter on moving subjects. You also stated that only the new V lenses focus with phase detection and that all of the other XCD lenses revert to contrast detection, where did you read that? I've had no issues with focusing with any of my XCD lenses, which admittedly are slower than my 38V but still nail the focus. On the Hasselblad website, it states that the X2D 100C has phase detection, (which incidentally does work on all XCD lenses), and nothing about it only working on the new V lenses. In any case, I hope that you get to buy one someday and enjoy it for the experience and the beautiful images it produces. I don't even find it that slow a camera.
I've been a pro for 40yrs+ and have never understood this obsession with speed - everyone says the the X series are slow - but this simply isn't true - in the old days of film using 10x8 and 5x4 - my assistant and I never talked about how 'slow' things were for our commercial work - we just got on with it - now it is a fact that cameras have got faster - and 10x8 is hardly the best thing to use if you are a wildlife or sports photographer - but I use the X series on almost all applications not becuase it is either fast or slow but becuase it is the best - almost as good as the H6D100c which it has replaced - now that was a slow camera admittedly - but this thing about speed is seen as a bad thing and it is the reverse.
The comment about phase detect af (PDAF) working only on the three new XCD lenses (V) is wrong. According to Hasseblad itself, it works on all XCD lenses, old and new. Good review, but this is a pretty major mistake, don't you think?
Steve Huff has adapted other lenses to the X1D2 (Leica, Voitlander) so will be a similar thing to this camera. You just have to use the Electronic shutter and Manual focus only. The leaf shutter in these lenses does mean a flash sync of up to 1/2000th as opposed to fuji's 1/125th.
I think one of the new lenses has a top shutter speed of 1/4000. As for the fuji system, you can shoot in HSS mode, all the way up to 1/8000! It’s just a bit of a pain to set up. Something other folks haven’t realized is that the X1/X2 series are fully compatible with Nikon speedlights. (TTL)
@@IvandotjpegHSS means a loss of power at higher shutter speeds. Leaf shutter doesn't have this issue. There are a few inaccuracies in this video!
Hasselblad is 8200 USD vs Fujifilm GFX100s is 6000 USD so it is not double the price as you mentioned. Also, the crop factor is 0.79, not 0.8. One more thing; you can use other brand lenses on Hasselblad with the electronic shutter if your subject is not moving.
Cheers.
It is actually 25% more than the GFX100s - which I own. It is only double if the cost is based on the body + lens. But then that is not a direct comparison. But I must say that now that I have had the GFX and Z9 and the Leica Q2 I am beginning to realize I like a simple design with less button where the effort is on photography not button configuration. For me a simple design is leading me to selling the Z9 & GFX and buying a Hasselblad X2c and move toward a simpler and lighter system-Leica Q2 for everyday, X2c for serious landscape, Fuji Xh2 for travel and macro work.
Very nice job ! Thanks for sharing this.
Definitely love a premium product like the Hasselblad. It's like a car, you don't need a Mercedes S class but it's nice to have when a Honda does everything you need. Preference really.
Love the run through. I went from gfx100s to x2d had both and kept the x2d. I got over the 3rd party lens dance while still in ownership of the gfx 50s. Native glass once you have it is unmatched. My favorite was the gf 45, gf 110 and gf 23. With the hasselblad, I used the HC lenses with haselblads 0,8 converter which opens up the usability to all of the HCD lenses without losing autofocus or needing to use the e shutter. I matched the lenses I actually used on my gfx 100s and 50s so I don't miss the gfx at all. I used the video function once and I had the gfx100s from launch. It was nice but not a consideration for my professional use case. I shoot portraits and stills. I mostly shot manually even with my old fuji 50s and 100s. I REALLY love the gfx for its cost, and straight away available lens selections. I prefer the raw output from the x2d and need to spend much less time massaging skin tones on all of the different ethnicities I shoot vs with the more "creative" representation of colours from my gfx. I found the rendering of contrast and colour from fuji to be really far above the full frame I used for the beginning of my journey but the engineering choices and decisions made in the sensor output from the same chip is something to be witnessed in person shooting with knowledge of the professionals subject matter. The physical engineering on another topic is in an entirely different world. I actively debated on what to keep and after having the x2d from launch, I don't regret that at all.
There are a lot of advantaged of the leaf shutter, lens quality is better and the quality of the files - especially the colors - are significantly better with the Hasselblad. There is an other thing what nobody has mentioned: converting a Hassy Adobe RGB file to a Fogra39 or other higher gamut CMYK file for printing the result is much better. This helps if you are taking pictures for printing (offset) also. Yes, this is not a sport camera but same with the Fuji. (R3 is better for that purpose) iInternal SSD is quite fast and very useful. Yes, expensive - but I bought this instead of Fuji. The quality is worth the price difference.
Leaf shutters do not affect quality - or the quality of the files - or the colours - that is utter nonsense - pro for 45yrs+ here - yes the Hass colours are exceptional - very real - yes the lenses are leaf shutters rather than focal plane - that just makes them faster for flash sync - however you are so right about file conversion - I also bought this for our pro work after a foray into Phase One and the oddities of their battery system made them difficult to work with on location
@@nelsonclub7722 yes, leaf shutter does not effect the quality and colors. I mean there are a lot of extra opportunities using leaf shutter. (Flash on location) Hassy colors are exceptional and extremely easy to work with the colors. CMYK conversion is always a hassle and Hassy gives the best results in this workflow. Other DSLRs (including Fuji) are not even close and better than Phase One too. I hope they will come out with a TS lens or lenses - actually the TS24 Canon gives an acceptable result - better than on a Canon body.
Great review. But it would nice to hear about image file size and what that means once you offload it from the camera to your computer
The Fuji can not really do what the Hasselblad can 😉. You mentioned the Leaf Shutter, which has a flash sync speed up to 1/2000, and the new 90mm will even go up to 1/4000 according to Hasselblad. The Fuji can go up to 1/125 if I’m not mistaken, after that you have to go to highspeed sync with all its problems and limitations like reduced output, etc.
That alone makes the price tag of the Hasselblad worth it. The creative freedom of being able to sync at high shutter speeds is priceless
Curious to know your thoughts on fujifilm medium format cameras vs fujifilm in a video
really confused by your settings, could you explain why the high iso and that shutter speed?
The Hasselblad body is made of a machined solid block of aluminum that is why it is so solid and feels premium. The Fuji 100s and other brands are made of a thin aluminum plates molded in different parts. It is cheap and fragile.
Hi Lizzie, when money was no issue, what camera would you buy if you need one camera for life: 1. Hasselblad X2D 100C; 2. Fujifilm GFX 100s; 3. Leica SL2(-S?) ? Thanks!
Does this camera have a peaking, manual focus assistance on the LCD?
Nicely produced video but… Just some lack of knowledge about the camera itself, the pics taken don’t do justice to the X2D quality.
Keep up the great content!!! Can you maybe make a video about how you can regain creativity and motivation? Last year was great for photography for me, but I feel like towards the end of last year and the beginning of there just hasn't been any motivation or ideas.
Excellent video
Thank you for these nice shots and short review
I was asking myself to upgrade from Leica SL to this X2D with an opportunity on the second hand market but since, Fuji announced the GFX100 ii
And damned it’s juste over killing the Hasselblad
Imho this system would be better tested in conditions that would better demonstrate its dynamic range
she is used to Sony quality and the images looks like it was shot with a Sony and we both know this camera does a MUCH more... Old habits and style are hard to break I guess, why spend $8.2K only to shoot identically to a $3k camera.
yes, get the negatives, but one way around the focus thing is to teather it to a computer, the software (phocus) will handle it, you then operate the camera remotely, so no smashing your nose on the touch screen!!; but think of the hasselblads as a team, the 500cm is the "big boy", at 6x6cm, the H series, is the 645 compliment ( and is the Full frame digital MF option); the X1/X2 D's are the compacts, like a hatchback car, for going out, when you need the 'punch' but not the weight, or the fuel consumption!! ( the MP's without all the weight of camera and batteries)- also an option for such rigs as a cambo actus, so you can move, without the unbalanced weight, and can turn it , without crashing the camera on the adaptor mount.
You can absolutely adapt lenses to the X2D - you just need to use the electronic shutter. I use an old Nikkor 58mm NOCT f1.2 all the time.
That's one of the only reasons why I'd consider getting an X2D or a GFX - adapting exotic lenses with great bokeh and using them for even shallower depth of field and stronger bokehliciousness.
@@KNURKonesur For sure. I just picked up a Contax Zeiss 85mm f1.4 that fully covers the X2D sensor. It’s gorgeous. Lots of great vintage lenses out there.
@@DavidEvenson I have a couple Canon EF lenses on my Fringer adapter for the GFX and the results are kind of insane in some cases. The Sigma 105mm 1.4 is probably the sharpest but even down to something like the Tamron 45mm 1.8 VCD there are lots of interesting options. (not to mention Canon's own lenses like the 85mm 1.2 L or the 200mm 1.8 L)
Quite honestly, I would not do that on the Blad. The lack of a focal plane shutter is so limiting, no movement allowed at all and no flash... that's just not fun.
@@noenken yes, you are limited to the electronic shutter, but it’s absolutely no problem as long as you understand the limitations. Even handheld shots are fine with the ibis engaged as long as your not swinging the camera around. I’m a landscape photographer, so I never use flash and I have a tripod with me almost all the time. It’s a non issue for me.
nice review Lizzie, however could you share where does it say that the older XCD lenses DOES NOT use the new phase detect in the camera? I'm sure Hasselblad has told you something we don't know.
update, Hasselblad staff member has confirmed that older XCD lenses also uses PDAF on the X2D...so....sorry Lizzie but your statement is incorrect and misleading.
Focus is also improved with the old XCD lenses, not at the same level, but faster than with the X1D II
For me the only thing I needed to do was a firmware update on my older lens and boom phase detect.
Sometimes I wonder why people do camera reviews without actually taking the time to read the manual or do any research at all into what's what.
@@robertboyer5926 because we consume all the material that they produce 😉
@@dblclick not really, like Lizzie said, older xcd lenses will not utilize phase detect
@@firstwave8855 phase detection will work with the older xcd lenses and the h-lenses as well.
What are you filming with?
I hear everyone talking about sbmm in cod and was very scared about it. I used to play a lot of MW3, BO2 and ghosts when I was in high school. I skipped the ps4/xbone generation because I went to college. 6 months ago I dusted off my 360 and started playing BO2 again (bots). Immediately hooked again.
Since release I've been wanting to get a new xbox and 3 weeks ago I finally bought one for my birthday.
I bought MW2 and a couple of cods I messed (BO4, MW1, MWR and IW). Before starting I was a bit scared that I would not enjoy myself. I never was good in 2012-2013 but still enjoyed it. I've found that I've gotten a bit better but I don't mind the MM at the moment.
Sometimes I'm the noob off the lobby, sometimes I'm on top, sometimes in the middle. I'm not focused on K/D at all, but love finding guns that suit me, leveling them to unlock attachments or new guns and trying to unlock camos for them. If I happen to win in the meantime: nice, If I don't also fine. Sometimes I play to win other times I don't. But overall I don't have the feeling that I get in lobby's where having fun is not possible... I'm level 36 now and play about every other day for about an hour. Loving it so far.
The only thing I do not like is that your lobby changes everytime. I would like lobby's to stay together for longer.
How to compare hasselblad and canon on street photography
I have a dp3 merill & I bet you it would rival the top of the Hazelblads since its not a bayer censor but has an independant RGB channel .......This cam has its limitations but when it shines it beats the best in class
Gee just as well for you that you weren’t shooting in the 90’s… Back then I was shooting brides walking down the aisle on my 500cm/503CX Blads. No screen to view, no AF, no problem. I’m currently using the 907X CFV100C, it’s a dream camera. Image quality and user experience is crazy good. Fuji I know is highly rated… For me though, it doesn’t make the cut.
I've had Bronica (SQA and ETRSi) and Mamiya (RB and RZ) cameras, a Pentax 6x7 and Horseman VH-R (I did a lot of architecture) medium format cameras and yeah - they're workhorses, but they are NOT fast operation cameras. Right now I have an APS-C camera that does the job but I'm am DROOLING over saving for either a Fuji or Hasselblad medium format camera. For just budget alone I am probably gonna end up with a Fuji - either way I think I'm gonna be very happy with it.
I'm a big fan of slow cameras, makes your frames become more deliberate and less spray-and-pray when you do the selection before taking the picture, not after taking the picture.
Nice camera. I like the fuji also.
May I ask are the pictures straight out of the camera or lightroomed?
that looks like a great camera!! I see your bias, nothing wrong you are just very young and maybe all your life you have had AF and eye tracking of similar... no Hasselblad 500 CM ?? or mamiya rz67??? does where all manual and maybe all mechanical cameras and the photographer need it to do everything.... I would love to shoot with a moder hasselblad, and maybe I would even like it!
Thanks for your videos, I love them!
you can move the focus point with just one finger in the bottom right when using the viewfinder.....so no d pad needed....great camera and review.
On street it is amazing...you can crop to all ends.
On action, did just fine at a bike race...one picture at a time or maybe two...but if you hit. BOOM it is amazing looking.
This camera makes leica look only meh.
I'm still using a Phase One IQ180 on an XF body and Schneider blue ring lenses. But lately, I find myself more and more using that back on an RZ67 IID for studio stills. This is primarily because the IQ180 performs best at ISO 35. It's only marginal at ISO 200 and useless beyond that.
For more handheld/outdoor use, I'm now facing the decision to either upgrade the XF to an IQ3-100 with far better ISO performance, or move to different platform entirely. I realize cameras like the X2D are more like baby MF sensors in size. But is the value proposition of a 100MP BSI baby MF something to be considered over upgrading to the full size, non-BSI IQ3-100? The upgrade is still less $$$ than a new X2D and lenses, but it's older tech. I'm open to opinions.
Fondue😊. Just came here from Mckinnons channel where you two were telling photo stories. You seem to have a fun channel, I'll be sure to check out some more. I have an old analog Hasselblad 503cx which I loved using but seems to be collecting dust having switched to digital, but I would love the one you're reviewing but then again, at that price! Fuji probably makes more sense.
Wonderful insight as always..imagine a Sony Autofocus on a medium format Sony camera!.lol I mean Sony already provides Fuji with the medium format 100 megapixel sensors so we know they have the tech and the sensors for it..only thing is that Sony needs to make a body for it!..love me some Fuji but I hope Sony thinks about making a medium format camera in the future...its a way for them to grab or hold on to the customer base that is thinking about leveling up to medium format and stay with Sony...or are they satisfied with just selling the sensors for it to other camera brands?..the most recent exciting news is that Fuji are working on a GFX medium format type sports camera!..so I guess that should improve autofocus tremendously..this sounds so interesting..
Yes you can change the focus point while you look through de evf. Read your book properly.
1:40 separate flap for tethering
I remember us having a Hasselblad at work. It had a polaroid back, and was configured to attach to our microscopes to take pictures of metallurgical samples (in the 90's). We'd then have to manually stitch these many images together with tape to get the full image. Begone with your digital and computer wizardry
The body just looks soo beautiful wow, it would hurt me to see scratches on it.
If i offer you the Hasselblad x2d for free and the Fuji GFX 100c ,,,witch one will you choose ?
The Fuji comparison wording/editing conclusion @9:00 confused me. Which is a lot more bang for the buck? It sounded like you thought Fuji but said Hassy?
IBIS and EVF are better than the GFX
Hasselblad is limited to Phocus, it’s the GFX for me especially the 100 ii
I noticed that you do a lot of shooting with models & just curious if your doing a youtube video with a corporate shoot or are all these models on your dim? hope that made sense lol
Es ist ein sehr objektiver Bericht finde ich. Im Prinzip ist es wie mit Leica sie ist für das was sie bietet viel zu teuer, genau wie
die Hasselblad. Da spielt auch das Gefühl und die Haptik eine Rolle und der Glaube an bessere Aufnahmen.
Kenne das Gefühl. VG B. Miko
You can enable using the back of the screen as a touchpad to change the AF position when using the EVF. I guess it is disabled by default in the menu. Still not as good as the Fuji knob but at least you can use it when looking through the finder…
There is palpable pain on Lizzie's face every time she admits that the GFX is better than the Hasselblad in some aspect 😆
X2d is getting continues eye detect in firmware 😎
beautiful X2D camera but sadly 90% of us can't afford it. Getting the body alone is pricey enough, then getting the lenses next will make you poor even more. Hopefully one day i can shoot with it just to have fun as I do want that 16-bit colors!
True, but better one bite good than two bites bad.
I would like to see raw files and not those with twisted colors and effects
Started following you cause I noticed your a fellow Torontonian.
FONDUE!!!!! 😄
Are yousure (05:30)? PDAF is in the sensor and how can it switch to contrast detection? It can't be.
Hasselblad never mentioned this in their FAQ either.
Otherwise a good review. Many thanks.
I am still working with the X1DII and plan to buy the X2D.
I just sent an email to Hasselblad and asked them. Keep you posted ;-) I got the X2D and two old XCD lenses and hope for the best 😅
@@mahdimanesh4221 I think she accidentally said it, its something hasselblad doesnt want us to know
@@firstwave8855 I heared it in a review by Bob Tonelli as well… so maybe there is something to it?
@@mahdimanesh4221 hehe, it was me just posted on fb groups...in Bobby's video he responded insisting no PDAF for older lenses...
If that’s the slowest you’ve ever used, you haven’t a clue.
Hey!! How did you enjoy imaging USA. Not sure if you remember me we had a flight together and talked briefly.
The bigger sensor don't catch more lights, OK Lizzie.
I have to correct you because you're confused.
God bless you you're such a cute woman.
one quibble, for photos, contrast detect (shorthand) is superior to phase detect (shorthand). For video, it is lacking. No video on this camera. Speed of focus improvements are processor and software dependent. just a quibble.
The X2D has two uniqune selling points which hardly any reviewer (but Matt Grangaer) does mention. This is very sad to me. And this compromizes the qualtiy of the present review.
I prefer a tupperware party above this empty blbla.
Started looking like a good review until you started saying things that weren't true - like adapting other lenses - teacart make a good adapter - I adapt canon lenses. Yon can use a portion of the back screen to move the focus point around with your thumb for example, while looking through the viewfinder. Then there was the phase detect comment - spoiled what looked like a good review. I own an X2d100C so I know what is correct and what is not - not just from reading the literature.
Not true. Using the previous xcd lenses does not affect the focus. The sensor does. With the 80 mm f1,9 lens for example with the x2d, the focus is slower because of the lens engineering not the sensor. You are wrong.
Since when is $8200 almost double $6000? Basic math. Also, you can use the focus point with the front and back control wheels
awesome cam..but the price is just too TOOO Much ,my wife's gonna kill me to try and buy this almost 9thou bucks of a cam!! woww the price shocked me.. 😵😵💫😵🥴
I actually preordered on of these and no one could tell me when I would receive it, so after 3 weeks with no update I canceled and got the Fuji.
It looks expensive, because it IS EXPENSIVE, Mam!
Theres literally no reason to look inside the view finder unless its to playback images lol. You have a nice big bright LCD to shoot from now. Why people still look through view finders with mirrorless cameras is beyond me lol
You shouldn’t look through the viewfinder, it’s there on the camera for actual photographers. They use it so they can pay attention to details, not just take 1000 shots and check if they got lucky afterwards. It’s not a freaking iPhone. 😅
But concerning this camera you are right.
Why put the viewfinder there, if the only way to control the focus is on the screen?😂
And using the screen to change focus point while you look through the viewfinder, like others suggested, seems really uncomfortable.
It’s a silly little toy.
@@gbxk5572 actual photographers? what details can you see on the viewfinder that you cant see on the bagillion dot lcd? you make no sense but go off
@@NicholasSpeaks it’s not that you won’t see them, it’s that most likely you will ignore them or you won’t react fast enough.
When you use a viewfinder, the grip on your camera is better, so if it’s more comfortable you are more likely to pay attention to details, also you isolate yourself from the rest of the room, concentrate on the subject, notice even the slightest change of an expression on the face.
Sometimes those little details make a lot of difference.
Fuji body are cheap. Hasselblad body are alloy and titanium mix and one piece machined.
I decided to buy the Fuji since it is way better than the Hasselblad. I don't have the "esthetics", thus also less risk of the ft. But Fuji excels. I am happy with my choice, and with the money I spared compared to the Hasselblad I got me the 70-200 v2 for my Sony a1.
Did you see Gavin Hardcastle’s recent comparison between the 2 systems? The X2D was demonstrably MUCH better than my beloved Fuji.
You dont have to tap on the screen to modified focus point. You just dont know how.
Would rather take the GFX100s for it's vast lens line up, speed performance and ergonomics. Dont think i can ever go on board with touch screen autofocus on a proper camera. The X2D is such a pretty camera though.
You can adapt amazing manual focus lenses to both though.
The older Hasselblad XCD lenses Will focus with phase/contrast detection. maybe not as fast as the newer lenses. But close enough They are much improved from using the older x1d or x1d2 cameras
So many simple incorrect claims here. It’s just not that hard to do some fact checking.
I was saying that watching this whole video.
Medium Format isn't for everyone and not everyone gets medium format, and how or why to use it.
As a medium format film shooter of over 10 years - these cameras (I mean GFX and X series) kinda make me sad. So many ergonomic improvements, so much attention to detail, upgrades, smooth workflow, nice menus, improved dynamic range, huge resolution... and stuck with an intermediate sized sensor. I'd be first in line if those cameras had a 645 format size sensor to take advantage of some amazing medium format glass. But with the 44x33mm sensors (to a photographer like me) they are best suitable to maximize the potential of some exotic portrait lenses with interesting bokeh and use an even shallower depth of field than designed. A Contax Zeiss Planar 50/1.4 is an amazing lens on the GFX/H2D, same for the Biotar 75/1.4, or a Primoplan 75/1.9. Otherwise it's a big miss to me, but I do admit being in a niche of a niche.
keep in mind, full size MF sensor cameras will cost you three times more than the X2D. refer to PhaseOne and Hassy HD series
Need money.
So much incorrect information in this video, please read the manual before you do a review of a camera or just focus on the pictures and leave out all the technical stuff that you haven’t taken the time to check beforehand..
There is no reading or writing speed difference between internal storage and card storage. Zero.
Beautiful girl taking beautiful pictures, and giving a lot of wrong information! Keep the technical stuff for people who knows it, an keep on doing beautiful work….
Just after jumping through the video I saw 2 heavy mistakes and incorrect information in your video and therefore I stopped watching the video after those 2 mistakes ...
1. Of course you can adapt other lenses at the Hasselblad with no problem at all, thats just not true what you say. You have to use the electronic shutter, thats all
2. you say the Hasselblad ist almost double the price of the Fuji ??? I guess your math needs to be improved a lot :-) ... 5999,- for the Fuji and Hasselblad is 8199,- ... it about 37% more and not 100% more ....
Nothing more than telling what you can read in the data sheet.
What do these thumbnails show?
Really nothing.
A lot of mistakes in this video!:( A lot of wrong information! You do not know this camera at all :( for example: You can adapt the third-part lenses with ES... my god, why do you do review if you do not know the tool!!?
What's annoying is to watch shooting as if you were holding a phone!! What happened to 'looking into the viewfinder'? Fuji is definitely superior in speed and AF capabilities (video etc) but the colour and the file quality that Hassy delivers (not to mention their lenses) are far far superior to FujiFilm's terrible WB (ok ok in post I can spend a week and fix all that...)
