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.
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.
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!
“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! 😅
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.
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!
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.
I'm not really into photography, but thank you for this video! The interactions and thoughts going in to this camera makes me so happy, and if it wasn't for the price I would probably buy it right away
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!
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..." :)
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.
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).
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).
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..
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 ;)
Becca I so thank you for this Beautiful camera, Just like the Beautiful surroundings. Awesome Video. Again Thanks so much for sharing what I have missed. ✌️💯
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 ? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@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.
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.
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?
Becca really draws you into photography unlike any other tech reviewer, even if you are not deeply invested on it. Her feelings and thoughts about the piece of technology she is talking about come clear throughout the video. Great stuff, Becca.
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.
The person reviewing this camera clearly doesn't signal that they have shot with the 500 series. That's an even slower camera, and magical. The CFV 100 would technically be a lot easier and faster.
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.
Wonderful, clear, succinct review! I think I'd still get the 907X 50C just for the savings....but if I one camera to carry on my yacht it would be this one. :)
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+.
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...
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.
25 years ago I asked a photographer who sweared by Hasselblads "What's so special?" So he set up a test. Same film, same settings, same subject. His Hasselblad and my cheapest available Yashica SLR. After I saw the results, I never question a Hasselblad again. It is worth every penny!
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.
This camera reminds me of the Sigma fpL, which offers 61 megapixels, and it is about 1/4th the price. Okay, it isn’t 100 megapixels, but hey, at least it is also shoots cinema dng. The Sigma fp is 24 mp for $1500. Still, the Hasselblad sure is amazing! Now, if it were similar to the FPL, and included all the same features, plus a few other desirable features, I wouldn’t hesitate to drop 8k. Imagine this camera with global shutter, open gate, 2 tb internal storage, raw cinema dng capable. Now that would be a camera!
I think people compare megapixel counts too much and lenses too little. Being able to use "full frame" lenses beyond their official potential is something unique with the Hasselblads and Fuji GFXs. Yet so many people still gasp at more megapixels like it's 2006 and cameras jumped from 6Mpix to 10Mpix.
If i want to go back to those golden days of shutter sounds and everything.. i'll just pull out my traditional DLSR.. this being $8200 is not great for such a nostalgia and the sake of being different.. anyone still using D750 ????? This boy still rocking solid here..
No DSLR I ever used had a really satisfying shutter sound though. It would have to be a film SLR like the 8001 Nikon, or a Pentax 6x7, or the mother of shutter slaps - the Graflex 4x5" SpeedGraphic.
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.
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.
Is 50 more megapixels worth $2,000 more dollars?
The pixel race has been over for many years. People no longer buy cameras based on MP.
Spoiler Alert: No.
no.
nice camera though.
The fact a digital back can be used on older film Hasselblad's is very cool.
@@WarChortle that is cool, but that option has been around for 20+ years and this piece isn't that.
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.

give me a Hasselblad, and I shall move the world
Exactly not a worthy person to do a review on this

How do you find using the 907x with larger lenses? My guess is you end up holding the camera by the lens rather than the body?

Thank you and thank Hasselblad. Slowing down is essential to photography.
Hasselblads (and MF cameras generally) are really cool. Too bad they aren't doing OIS, though. Sure pay enough for them to implement it.
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 name.

thanks for the vid! if i see someone with this at night i know what i gotta do

Wonder what would happen if he set up that Hasselblad against a Pentax 6x7, Mamiya 7 or Fujifilm 680 :P
Against my CHEAPEST camera 🤡
I can't fathom why they wouldn't put IBIS in this but they have it in the X2D 100C. The body is certainly big enough...
That color science and scrip images are worth the price 🤯
Great Review!
Just to be clear, while I think this camera is kind of cool, I would never get one. I’m only here for the Becca review.

Yet so many people still gasp at more megapixels like it's 2006 and cameras jumped from 6Mpix to 10Mpix.
@@KNURKonesur I appreciate what you are saying.
Isn’t the NIKON ZF a full frame camera with a leaf shutter?
Wonderful review.
If i want to go back to those golden days of shutter sounds and everything.. i'll just pull out my traditional DLSR.. this being $8200 is not great for such a nostalgia and the sake of being different.. anyone still using D750 ????? This boy still rocking solid here..
No DSLR I ever used had a really satisfying shutter sound though. It would have to be a film SLR like the 8001 Nikon, or a Pentax 6x7, or the mother of shutter slaps - the Graflex 4x5" SpeedGraphic.
Put the back on a 500C body and you can have a shutter whump every time you press the release.
I love my Canon 5D mk3. Also love my old FED 2 film camera which is a Leica clone. No batteries to worry about and it easily goes into your pocket.
yesssss more cameras 🎥
Are some of those photos taken in Curaçao ? :-)
Do they flip the image horizontally on the viewfinder, like the 500 series? You know, for authenticity.
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.
The menu system looks SO much more user friendly than the “engineer” designed menus we get from the Japanese.
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.
