I've owned the Hasselblad X1D II for about 8 months now and this has been my experience with it so far.

thanks for doing a camera review right!! amazing. I love the colors out of this camera

[@jacquesgude]

Loved it through the years I owned it, but once I switched to the X2D I sold off the X1D II and never looked back. No regrets whatsoever.

[@CocoTolentino]

Oh yeah! X2D is such a huge improvement! That 1TB Internal, IBIS, PDAF, 100MP, tiltable screen, faster response time to name a few. Love doing some test shoots with that camera, will definitely upgrade to that when I get the money.

Better than Sony A7RV?

[@finality4795]

@@CocoTolentino lets not forget those bigger files too and lack of video feature IMO X1D II is enough for most people, X2D is quite the overkill, unless you plan on publishing your photos to billboards on the street.

[@CocoTolentino]

Yes, at the moment, X1D II used is enough for most people, and while it doesn’t have any sort of video You can’t really compare Sonys & Canons to Hasselblad & Leicas. Super different audiences.

[@goorackerelite]

@@finality4795 I like to use the x2d and print wallet sized images from it

[@cuvermr5655]

The photos shown in the video are great. Were they also taken with the Hasselblad X1D+55V?

[@CocoTolentino]

Yes! Most of the photos were taken with the 55V!

[@cuvermr5655]

@@CocoTolentino Wow! They say that it is difficult to shoot moving portraits with a slow shutter speed. How did you do it? Can you make a video?

[@cuvermr5655]

@@CocoTolentino The teacher looked at the total of 53 photos and there were 8 sports portraits. These 8 photos are really good. They were taken with Hasselblad X1D+55V, right?

[@CocoTolentino]

⁠@@cuvermr5655 for moving portraits shot in a studio, it’s all about the flash as it freezes the subject so the shutter speed won’t matter as much. It is really difficult to use autofocus with these cameras, so most times I just use manual and the 55V lens has distance indicators on the lens, which makes it so much easier to measure how far the camera is from the subject.

[@cuvermr5655]

@@CocoTolentino Oh! Very impressive! I am now going to use the Hasselblad X2D100C and 55V to shoot portraits

[@ericroberson240]

Really enjoyed your video and I also started following you on Instagram 👍🏼 So, this was the X2D right because you said X1D II? I’m looking forward to getting into the Hasselblad as well

[@CocoTolentino]

This is the X1D II. X2D’s prices are still soo high, but of course it’s a huge upgrade from the older models

[@Acefilms90]

THAT'S GO COOC!!!!!!!!

[@LilaWolken1987]

the more I watch this video the more I want the X1D II with the 55mm

[@CocoTolentino]

55V is such a beast of lens! I’m glad I made the switch from a 45P when I had the chance to buy a cheaper used 55V

[@LilaWolken1987]

@@CocoTolentino I could buy a used 55V for 2699€ and a X1D II for 3149€. I don't know if I should rather wait for a new Hasselblad Camera, to get a good deal on the X2D which has IBIS.

[@jaimeduncan6167]

Beautiful pictures.

[@CocoTolentino]

Thank you so much!

я не думал про эту камеру но она мне приснилась, а еще в другом сне я очутился в США ...это так не вероятно когда вокруг тебя идёт война

[@legacy_mens]

чувак ты и в правду, того... ку-ку ))))

[@angellondian7628]

I love the camera. Does it still get updates. What lens would you recommend for portraits? I don’t know the conversion from full frame? I like 50mm & 85mm.

[@CocoTolentino]

It’s basically stopped at 1.5.2 for the Firmware. It’s x.79 for converting I’ve used the 55mm (43mm FF equivalent) for basically everything. Great compression, really sharp. There’s also the 90V f/2.5 or the 80 f/1.9 that I’ve tried, which are both amazing and sharp. I’m leaning more to the 90V as it’s those newer lens designs with the clutch manual focus ring
