Becca totally brings this camera to life with words. I think watching her videos must be a little like the feeling you get taking photos with a Hasselblad.
If I want to be still I just throw back some weed, then it takes no effort, and it doesn't cost anything close to $8K. Couch-lock is the only way to fly...
I love the black leatherette and chrome highlights. If Batman had a camera, it would be one of these. Based on what I paid for a Nikon D2X recently, I’ll be able to afford one of these Hasselblads in maybe 20-30 years. Admittedly I’ll be in my nineties by then, but I can wait. I’m patient. Good review, Becca.
Add in another $8K for 3 lenses. No thanks. It would be a fantastic studio camera for commercial work of food, products, etc, but it has no place in the outdoors. Plus that shutter sound is nothing like the fantastic thud sound you could get out of an old 501CM. Passssss.
That looks extraordinarily difficult to use and it looks easy to drop. And then there's no image stabilisation. And nothing to hold it with. And easy to grab of someone. What exactly are you paying for?
The vibe. The feels. The nostalgia. The megapixels. The design. But really - in my book the "mini" Hasselblads and Fuji GFXs fill an interesting niche - of using vintage portrait lenses beyond their official use. Lots of old lenses cover the bigger than "full frame" sensor and can get amazing results in an artists hand. Otherwise it's like with every technology, expensive cars, expensive watches, expensive phones, expensive clothes, expensive jewelry, it's mostly for show.
@@nickthaskaterit's a baby medium format, still a big crop compared to many digital backs. But I would disagree with @LoyalSlime - it's better than full frame cameras for some specific use cases. I for one like vintage portrait lenses and some of them cover the 44x33mm sensor size with no issues, making them even more amazing than they were originally designed to be. People talk about megapixels too much, forgetting that there's over 100 years worth of lenses that can be used on mirrorless cameras, not just the latest stuff.
I'm waiting for the previous model prices to drop in the second hand market. Several years ago medium format was in an unobtainable price bracket, nowadays the first generation GFX sells for under $1500 and it's still an amazing camera.
When the 907x was first announced I knew I wanted one. It fits my style of photography perfectly. I still have to work on the budget but I’m happy they are keeping it around. Thanks Becca for a great review as always!
excellent video! these hasselblad cameras always get me - i am enchanted by the emotional resonance of the colour reproduction, and the way they really seem like memories. your videos always play well into that, and i think its silly to not appreciate your brilliant photography too, Becca.
Great review! There's a question I've always had about medium format like Hasselblad though: I guess the main advantage of the system comes from the larger sensor (around 1.3x that of full frame), which supposedly comes with better bokeh and allows higher ISO at the same noise level. However, I see that most Hasselblad lens actually have smaller aperture (usually F2.5, sometimes F1.9 at most) than full frame (which can go up to F1.4 or even F1.2 on mass-production lens). Wouldn't that actually cancel out the advantage of the sensor? For instance a F1.9 lens on Hasselblad would theoretically have similar bokeh and low-light performance as a F1.4 lens on a full frame camera. Does that mean the main advantages would only be better color science and more pixel count?
NO, you miss one point, as the sensor gets bigger depth of field gets SMALLER, so for any given f-number the dof is thinner; in Hasselblads case, Also in LF to, the max is normally f-5.6 or f-11 {LF}, or f-2.8/2 for these mf's, as to focus it it would be IMPOSSIBLE if you had a 1.4 or 0.95 like in the Leica Noctalux lenses, as the dof is even thinner than that!! so, to allow the focus system to cope, and YOU, via manual focus (500c\m's, etc) the aperture max is limited to f-2.0; but the main point is this dof allows for excellent subject isolation, as the edges are soft, or crisp (f-no# dependent), which is why magazines like vouge, etc. use them for their 'spreads'. but if you want to see this affect at max, look into LF photography, esp. model shoots in studio, then this "excellent" subject isolation morphs into mind-blowing!!!
@@andyvan5692 Thanks for the reply. Hmm, I'm not sure if I'm getting the point you're making though. I guess that's what I meant, right? The bigger the sensor, the *shallower* the DoF becomes (so more bokeh and separation), but that's only up to a scaling factor of 1.3x for medium format vs full frame, so say F2 actually gets divided by the factor and has equivalent DoF as full frame F1.5 (just like F2 for APSC sensor is multiplied by a factor of 1.5x and has equivalent DoF of full frame F3), but even so, full frame F1.4 or F1.2 would still have shallower DoF than a medium format F2, at least theoretically, which is why I'm wondering if medium format actually has an advantage in bokeh (and low-light), since it has a larger sensor, but usually smaller aperture in lens.
For a fixed subject distance, focal length and aperture, the depth of Field remains the same regardless of format. What changes is the area of capture. As you go from larger to smaller formats you are effectively cropping the image in a optical way.
@@almostinfamous42 Yes you're right. I guess what I meant is that standing at the same object distance and using different focal lengths (say F2 50mm on full frame and F2 65mm on Medium Format) creates the same field of view, but the same F2 on Medium Format has about 1.3x more bokeh than F2 on full frame (simply because its physical focal length is 1.3x larger), thus the concept of "equivalent focal length" and "equivalent aperture". However, what I'm saying is that if I simply use a F1.4 50mm lens on full frame instead, it will likely output a similar viewing angle image and create the same bokeh as F2 65mm on Medium Format (which is close to the largest aperture a Hasselblad system can get, but a full frame system can get to F1.2 for a reasonable price or even F0.95 in rare cases), so in a way the advantage of the larger sensor is cancelled out by the smaller aperture, at least in terms of bokeh (of course, you still get more pixel count and better color science, but that's another story).
Thanks for a fantastic review! I watched a few others but your review was just next level. Such good sample photos and explaining how the camera works and how it's different from what's out there in the market. Hasselblad cameras have always been a dream of mine to use but unfortunately they're way out of my price range. I could save up for one but considering I'd be too scared to use it in fear of breaking it, it's just not worth the hassle (hehehe). Still, really glad there are brands out there that do their own thing and continue to create unique devices that aren't the same as everyone else's products. Unfortunately you usually have to pay a huge price for that kind of unique design. Anyway, you keep being my absolutely favorite gear reviewer because when you review something you REVIEW it proper and with a very cool personal touch. Thanks for this!
“Photos from this camera feel like memories frozen in time - pulled right out of my eyeballs.” “It will make you see the world differently.” Don’t think I’ve ever heard higher praise for a camera. Loved this review. Now I want one! 😅
eh, kind of sounds like the "special" things are mostly ephemeral, vague notions of transcending the chaos of modern life that work for this reviewer, but very well probably won't for most people. For 8k the camera shouldn't "force" you to do anything imho.
Was not into digital before this video ….. the way you perfectly articulated the beauty in this camera has me effing obsessed….. you cow lol it couldn’t have been a cheaper camera ? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Waist level shooting, slow focus, no image stabilization, super high detail image like reality frozen in time, force people to think thoroughly before taking any picture. Oh the good old film era...
Thanks. You've reminded me of the good old film days. When I actually thought out each shot. And now I'm back with Kodachrome 64, my own darkroom, the custom lab within walking distance of my apartment. Guess I'm going to pull out some of my saved work.
idk why people complain about price. if you can make up the cost of this and a lens in like 3 shoots you definitely want something with this image quality, especially if youre in studio. the Japanese stuff is for the rest of us lmao
So, why this camera and not the X2D? Same sensor and stabilization seems like you'd only buy this if you wanted the nostalgia of shooting with a traditional Hasselblad.
È bellissima e leggerissima, mi spiace non sia tropicalizzata ne stabilizzata, mi preoccupa la pulizia del selsore e la mancata protezione dello schermo.
The original one was such a weird product I was sure it was a one-off. I'm amazed they updated it like this, and yeah, it's just good to see weird cameras still being made in this age of do-everything mirrorless marvels.
Not into cameras and this was just such an amazing deep dive by her. Really impressed by the editing and narration and I ended up learning so much about something I know nothing about!
Absoltuely would pass on this luxury overpriced camera. If you have the money to buy a career-intended camera to just take snapshots is insane. But to each their own. There are plenty of camera bodies that cost half as much with better specs and hundreds of better features.
Your photos look awesome! Thanks for the review! The best part about the new CFV 100C is that the price of CFV 50c is going to go down (hopefully) enough that I can finally buy one for my Hasselblad 500CM (yes, you can use the CFV back for a 30-year-old film camera).
Another fantastic review watched by so many that dont even own a camera they just want to hear you talk about them. I can see the buttery images though my screen. Incredible pieces of tech.
Vídeo delicado e preciso com algo tão subjetivo quanto o "sentimento" de utilizar um equipamento dessa magnitude. Considero a marca Hasselblad como uma expressão maior da arte de fotografar. Algo muito parecido com que a marca Leica transmite, ao seu modo.
Hasselblad seems to be one of those companies banking on their name legacy while not actually providing a superior product experience when compared to similar devices.
@@KNURKonesur, granted there are few alternatives, but because it’s a more niche product I still think they get away with a bit of price gouging. And it doesn’t even come with a lens.
@@ericcarabetta1161 It's in line with the price of Hasselblads historically. They've always been expensive cameras. If you compare it to buying the equivalent body and back 30 or 40 years ago, it may even be cheaper, accounting for inflation. Tools that you use in your profession to earn your living tend to be expensive.
I know that the camera body is not weather sealed, but can it be used in misty and humid conditions, for example, in a forest early in the morning? When looking closely at the part with the sensor, it simply clips onto the body! I get the feeling that it's not securely attached to the body, just a click without any sealing based on what I see. Does dust and moisture have a way of getting in between the body and the sensor part?
What type of lens was used for 1:55? This and the following one are such gorgeous shots. They could easily be the opening frame for a Wes Anderson flick.
Form factor is amazing and gorgeous. Just wish they didn't push megapixels, but bigger size sensors. This is still very much a cropped angle of view compared to the Hasselblads of old with 56x56mm images.
They want you to buy into the medium format ecosystem because they have a monopoly there. Once a consoomer buys into the BS of "medium format" look (even though it's technically not medium format), he will start buying a ton of medium format lenses. And the only path to upgrade is Faze One. Meanwhile Fool Framers are still getting ripped off by Leica. Stop camera snobbery, use your iPhone, it's more than enough.
Look at Ansel Adams photos and find out what camera he used. I.e., it's not so much the equipment as it is the artist. F@#$8,500. I get great shots with my Samsung 7. And it's a phone and a computer and it runs lots of apps. once again F@$% the hassle that comes with a Hasselblad.
Ansel Adams used a very large format camera that provided huge negatives and used the highest quality lenses available that provided amazing image quality compared to 35 mm or 6x6. Just no comparison. He was also a master of scouting locations, framing shots, editing, marketing and every discipline needed for greatness. But it started with the huge negative and great lenses.
You didn’t appreciate the first one why bother having another review. Ah. For clicks. Hasselblad biggest mistake is giving these cameras to just anybody.
This is not just a camera it’s a medium format, even tho it’s not the full size medium format sensor compare to the bigger model it’s still great Hasselblad. Also Hasselblad ain’t the only company with LS lenses there’s also the Phase One XF or 645DF+.
amazing stuff. I love the idea of getting this back and putting on my hassy 500 body and lenses. I do quite like how the form factor and ergonomics force you to cradle the camera and take your time composing the shot. It's not about the megapixels, because nothing beats having a sensor that large. It literally shrinks the world in terms of DoF. In a few years when this becomes old hat, maybe i'll be able to afford one ;)
Photographers don't want something different, they want a photographic camera and not one of those boxes which are a bad mix of two incongruous technics photo & video. Hasselblad just produce what they should have done years ago .....I mean they should never drop their iconic design of the 500 which make Hasselblad what they are.
This is essence of photography in this broken ,,Z, R, ect."" plastic camera world. Your first few words about shooting with this camera perfectly capture the spirit of this equipment. "Some slower, some dreamer..." :)
skipped over here from your channel becca.... love your work on both channels.... being a A7C owner your thoughts etc have been really informative... now just have to save the money for this new camera you are "playing with".... thanks yoki..
Super nice object, color science and image quality, as always with Hasselblad, but at this price range the UI-UX is inacceptable. IMHO the GFX 100 II is a way more versatile offer, with a superbe finish and gets the job done anytime anywhere. ( with less glamour, I concede it ) Thanks for sharing your thoughts Becca !

The pixel race has been over for many years. People no longer buy cameras based on MP.
Spoiler Alert: No.

The fact a digital back can be used on older film Hasselblad's is very cool.

Form factor is amazing and gorgeous. Just wish they didn't push megapixels, but bigger size sensors. This is still very much a cropped angle of view compared to the Hasselblads of old with 56x56mm images.
Not really for me mostly because of the price. Other than that I'm all about it
thanks for the vid! if i see someone with this at night i know what i gotta do
i never had 8,200€ at once. really hope i meet that special someone fr fr
It's $8,200. That's the only thing that's special.
Isn’t the NIKON ZF a full frame camera with a leaf shutter?
Becca is one of the best camera reviewers and I will never not watch her videos.
No IS 😢
As far as price, Hasselblad is their own worst enemy.
Great content and one of the best presenters on YT
The excitement I experience when I see a new Full Frame episode in my feed..
This is nice it exists in a world of AI manipulated content.
I expect more people going "back" to film photography with the rise of AI manipulated content. Hope so at least!
They want you to buy into the medium format ecosystem because they have a monopoly there. Once a consoomer buys into the BS of "medium format" look (even though it's technically not medium format), he will start buying a ton of medium format lenses. And the only path to upgrade is Faze One. Meanwhile Fool Framers are still getting ripped off by Leica. Stop camera snobbery, use your iPhone, it's more than enough.
Try turning up for that shoot for Balenciaga that you're being paid $25k for with your iPhone.
Will never buy this camera, but I love the video
Costing over 8k you will hold it like a baby!
Woah hahahaha shout out from Aruba 🇦🇼 tin wei FTW
Look at Ansel Adams photos and find out what camera he used. I.e., it's not so much the equipment as it is the artist. F@#$8,500. I get great shots with my Samsung 7. And it's a phone and a computer and it runs lots of apps. once again F@$% the hassle that comes with a Hasselblad.
Ansel Adams used a very large format camera that provided huge negatives and used the highest quality lenses available that provided amazing image quality compared to 35 mm or 6x6. Just no comparison. He was also a master of scouting locations, framing shots, editing, marketing and every discipline needed for greatness. But it started with the huge negative and great lenses.
You didn’t appreciate the first one why bother having another review. Ah. For clicks.
Hasselblad biggest mistake is giving these cameras to just anybody.
It's the product launch day, there's literally two dozen sponsored "reviews" released today :D
This is not just a camera it’s a medium format, even tho it’s not the full size medium format sensor compare to the bigger model it’s still great Hasselblad. Also Hasselblad ain’t the only company with LS lenses there’s also the Phase One XF or 645DF+.
Hi nice video , do you know maybe where its made?
Are some of those photos taken in Curaçao ? :-)
amazing stuff. I love the idea of getting this back and putting on my hassy 500 body and lenses. I do quite like how the form factor and ergonomics force you to cradle the camera and take your time composing the shot. It's not about the megapixels, because nothing beats having a sensor that large. It literally shrinks the world in terms of DoF. In a few years when this becomes old hat, maybe i'll be able to afford one ;)
Photographers don't want something different, they want a photographic camera and not one of those boxes which are a bad mix of two incongruous technics photo & video. Hasselblad just produce what they should have done years ago .....I mean they should never drop their iconic design of the 500 which make Hasselblad what they are.
This is essence of photography in this broken ,,Z, R, ect."" plastic camera world. Your first few words about shooting with this camera perfectly capture the spirit of this equipment. "Some slower, some dreamer..." :)
skipped over here from your channel becca.... love your work on both channels.... being a A7C owner your thoughts etc have been really informative... now just have to save the money for this new camera you are "playing with".... thanks yoki..
Becca, are you related to Roxette by any chance?
Super nice object, color science and image quality, as always with Hasselblad, but at this price range the UI-UX is inacceptable. IMHO the GFX 100 II is a way more versatile offer, with a superbe finish and gets the job done anytime anywhere. ( with less glamour, I concede it )
Thanks for sharing your thoughts Becca !
Now if I had 10k in my seat cushion
so u r telling me vision pro is sort of cheap
