Hasselblad X1D(II) + XCD 80 f/1.9 vs Fuji GFX 100s + GF 80 f/1.7

imo it would be a better comparison with adjusted White Balance on the Fuji, ideally set the White balance on both with the color checker.

[@KruiserIV]

I agree about the WB difference between the two, and the exposure also seems different which doesn’t help the comparison.

[@ChrisM-yq2pq]

Then you are saying wb is best in hasselblad

[@teds5369]

I had the Hasselblad combo for a year and recently switched to the Fuji combo and I can only say that they are not playing in the same league. The Fuji is superior in EVERYTHING except visual design of camera and menu UI. I mean everything. Also like others i question the WB on the Fuji in this test, looks very strange. Now don't get me wrong, the XCD II is a beautiful camera that can produce amazing results but it is many times a very, very frustrating experience - I do not think I have missed more great shots in my life combined than what I did in my year with the Hassy. AF is terrible, handling is slow etc. Whereas with the Fuji it just work, Everytime.

[@mathphotographer]

The Fuji is the better allround package. Hasselblad has the "Hasselblad look" which many people including myself love. But yes, for professional jobs as a photographer the Fuji gives you more value based on more manual controls, quicker autofocus, more lenses with lower price tag and more features in the camera system. But: I love them both :)

[@nelsonclub7722]

On Hass you can dial in WB manually, also has a colour checker built in - I had GFX50s before X1 series - colours are far more natural on Hass - by a long way too - but some shooters don't want this they want a stylistic' look that isn't necessarily achieved in post - even though it can be - many presets available for instance by Fuji fans - and not just Fujifilm sims either - this is where Fuji wins - also Fuji is a much more complex machine in some respects - a big turn off for me - although this iteration and with bigger MPX capability seems to address those issues - I could not get on with the fiddly tilty viewfinder either - however the biggest win for me is tethering with Phocus - it is the dogs wotsits compared to Fuji as I can control so much more and have the files ready for anything in an instant. However price points are a big consideration making rethink the whole shebang - double the MPX for less than half the price once we start talking lenses. If I was still shooting weddings I would consider buying two and a bunch of lenses in a heartbeat especially now they have got Nisi flashguns under a brand licensing agreement????????

[@MarcAdesso]

I have gotten to shoot with these camera side by side (as well as the original GFX 100), and wanted the Fujis to be better, because of the superior autofocus and IBIS. When I shot the Fujis first, it was a 'wow, what great images' moment. However, when you then look at the Hassy files (once you delete the missed shots from no IBIS because you were brave and took it off the tripod), it's a 'holy buckets, these are really, really special images!' I don't think any amount of color checking would show this after KZbin's compression takes over, but I can say from personal experience with my own eyes that (unfortunately for one's pocket book and ability to shoot without a tripod) the Hassy produces far superior, much more special images right out of camera. In other words, I hope Hassy makes a 100mp version of the X1D with IBIS and hybrid AF very, very soon!

Yeah this is what I see as well. The Hasselblad has consistently nice looking images. Also evident in this video review. The Fuji white balance just seems off, but it’s not just white balance, the colours just aren’t as good.

Thank you so much for the video and your effort! As a GFX100 user , I think they are both very good cameras and lenses. I love how Hasselblad looks sexy and Fuji with its technology. I wish you can open Fuji files on Capture 1 and Hasselblad file with Phocus. For the Fuji file , I guess white balance is not correct and film simulation was not set to Astia , Classic Chrome , Pro Negative or Classic Negative. With Capture One you can set it to basic profile too. Hasselblad should make new X1D body with 100 megapixel sensor as soon as possible to compete with Fuji cameras. Lastly ; As we know these are portrait lenses , maybe we can see “part 2 video” shooting portrait photography outside with the lenses and we can also discuss dynamic range for the portrait photography with the lenses.

Hello! Thank you for taking the time to compare these two. It would be helpful to know the WB setting of each camera. It’s very apparent by looking at the subject as well as OOF areas that the Fuji is warmer than the Hasselblad, and it makes a very big difference on perception here. Also, you may be seeing a difference in sharpness due to the intended use of the GF 80/1.7, which is portraiture. It is know it was not built to be the sharpest of the bunch (see the 110 or 250 for that).

[@mathphotographer]

One distinction factor, not on quality of camera or lenses, but important for many people, is that the Hasselblad system is much more expensive on the lens side. If you compare lenses in both systems like for like, the XCDs are typically significantly more expensive than the GFs. For lots of photographers clearly an argument given that both systems are excellent in quality besides differences in nuances here and there.

[@williamsingman1489]

Hasselblad has Fuji beat hands down on sharpness, contrast, clarity of color and even bokeh. I shoot Leica so my eyes are probably a little more discerning (spoiled) as it relates to image quality expectations.

[@KruiserIV]

I’ve shot both cameras, but the 110/2 on the Fuji and the only difference I could find were the color reproduction, which is common across cameras. I chose Fuji over Hassy. The WB in this comparison is wildly different which makes the comparison not helpful.

[@stefanoallari2154]

I doubt you could say anything about sharpness when Hasselblad images in the video are zoomed in 100% while Fuji images are zoomed in 66.7%. For a precise comparison, the Hasselblad files should have been upsampled, or maybe the Fuji downsampled.

[@mathphotographer]

Agree from a technical point of view but not from a practical point of view. These images are super close from a sharpness perspective and the crop-in whether 100% or 66.7% is just fine. From down- or up-sampling you will not gain materially more insight. No matter how much you crop in, images from both cameras will be sharper than anything you have seen before :)

[@williaminbody205]

I think the lens on the Hasselblad is better and when combined with a leaf shutter exposing the sensor from center out creates superior images. Larger sensors just have issues being exposed by Focal plane shutters, leaf shutters are clearly a better way to expose a large sensor and it showed on every shot.

[@GKhanKutar]

Leaf shutter has no relation with that and Hasselblad lens is not better. You can not clearly understand which one is better with this video. They are different lenses. Fuji has different character with its lens design. They did not focus to create crazy sharp at wide open aperture with this lens. They focused on creating character and better bokeh.

[@KruiserIV]

Your bit about leaf vs focal plane shutter is simply not true.

[@KruiserIV]

GKhan hit the nail on the head. The Fuji 80/1.7 with its SA is clearly intended to create “character” within images, especially in the out of focus areas. It’s not my cup of tea, but I know it suits many others.

Agree with you analysis, the FUJI would make for an all around standalone system, the Hasselblad is more "specialized."

[@Bayonet1809]

Some comments on your testing methodology, if you are interested. Why use spot metering? If you are comparing dynamic range rather than metering accuracy you should use ETTR with verification from RawDigger. For best focusing you should be using the built-in focus shift features of both cameras at the finest step size and later select the most in-focus on a monitor rather than using focus peaking. The differences in colour could also be due to the variation in Adobe's implementation of colour profiling in Lightroom/ACR, so from your test it is impossible to tell whether any differences in colour are as a result of Fuji or Hasselblad's colour science (which really only applies to their own raw processing engines). You should also be resizing the Fuji's images to the pixel dimensions of the Hasselblad to ensure you are comparing at the same magnification. A different subject could also be better for demonstrating fine detail reproduction. If you are confident that Hasselblad images have a different (better?) look then could you please demonstrate this in a controlled comparison in the future please?

[@antonomaseapophasis5142]

I had prepared to buy the GFX 100S, and consulted this video to clarify my understanding of this purchase. This video surprised me in the last part. Now, after looking at other videos you have made about the Hasselblad X1D (II) sensor, I have changed my mind. The qualities you examined in the Hasselblad sensor are the ones which pertain more exactly to the sort of images I am trying to take. Will Hasselblad be moving up to 100 MPX in the near future?

Both cameras are obviously shot in different WB. Auto WB setting may not work well in this kind of comparisons. I saw Fuji with more 3D looks image due to better micro contrast.

Hi, thanks for the review. You mention Hasselblad sensors, I thought they were using Sony made sensors, but are applying their own colour science in the processor. Is that what you meant? Thanks!

[@jpdj2715]

Please note that your Sony is the Semiconductor company and this is totally separate from the stills camera company (former Konica-Minolta). Semiconductor has worked with Nikon a long time, using Nikon machines to make their VLSI components and learnt a lot from that. It has "Chinese Walls" between them and the camera company. Semiconductor will loose clients because in publicity the relation is used to give the camera company a competitive advantage - by fooled naive people and shrewd marketers. The sensor is a rather dumb and rather passive component. It is colorblind and analog. The innovation it received in recent years was an analog-to-digital (AD) circuit tied to the sensor. This is where your 12, 14 or 16 bits gradation are. Semiconductor advertises their sensors as 16 bits - baloney - and in small print footnote state that 14 are photographically meaningful. That's plain 14. If you want 16, you either buy an older generation sensor and route its Voltage measurements through your own discrete AD, or take a 14 newer and remap the 14 tot 16 bits. A very important part of a camera's color treatment is the filter overlay over the sensor. This is from the camera manufacturer, not Semiconductor. If you understand loudspeaker crossover filters, it compares to crossover frequency and filter decay as dB/octave. There's a lot of camera manufacturer wisdom in there. This also applies to the second filter that I call the fuzzy filter. It disperses light from the lens traveling to one photosite to surrounding photosites. This to facilitate "raw processing". That's an old trick already applied by engineers developing scanning tunneling electron microscopes in the 70s. It makes mathematically repeatable and precise 'wild-assed guesses' much easier. In our case the sensor comes up with one color per photosite and "raw processing" turns that into RGB pixels. In this guesswork, noise and Moiré are created. Here, gradation us lost. And here you end up with at best 27 bits color space because developers of raw processing algorithms, like DxO, cannot do better. Note that high res cameras do away with the fuzzy filter as they have enough detail to not need them. But this renders old raw processing algorithms suboptimal. A problem since the Nikon D800E. Also note that human perception of resolution or sharpness relates directly to linear units. Two times linear increase from 24MP (6,000*4,000 photosites) implies 12,000*8,000=96MP. MP are an area number and meaningful to file size and processing effort, not human perception. Comparing cameras basically is comparing the raw processing's adaptation to your specific camera, specific firmware version and specific lens. When Lightroom gave me noise in ISO=100 landscape shots taken in the middle of a sunny summer day, Nikon SW did not. And with an F mount lens on the 7, LR also didn't. And C1 supported nothing. And DxO was great but had the worst preview and asset process. So when you look at RGB pixels on your monitor, that's software and low-level profiles, primarily. A guy who lived in a big white mansion for a couple years might have called it "fake". A focal plane shutter has time parallax, a leaf shutter has not, but in both cases, the sensor has time parallax and it always (almost) generates a raw file with monochrome photosite data. We need two paradigm shifts. Zero time parallax and RGB sensor's - the latter makes fuzzy filters and raw processing superfluous.

@@ChrisM-yq2pq if that would be that easy as you say - I wouldn't be asking that question. M5 is a tricky camera, because lightmeter is CdS one, they are relatively hard to find, they are hard to calibrate, they are hard to replace. Basically if your lightmeter is dead it might take years to track down suitable replacement and years of experience and special equipment to actually replace it (or finding one of the rare specialists who have that). Rangefinder separation is somewhat easy to fix as it is the same issue that plagues all old Leicas, but rangefinder is unique there, so you would need to actually disassemble everything, clean, glue back together, recalibrate. Something that is relatively easy to do (a lot of leica repair specialists do that, it is just costly). Anyway, I solved the question and soon after found actually two M5s in close-to-perfect conditions (one in Switzerland, another in Austria). They pop up every now and then, it is just very hard to get hands on one, but if you are patient enough it might pop up.

You are showing results at 100% and 66% and there is hard to tell anything , you should show 400% and 300% and then we would see actually where one is better then other, my guess Fuji can resolve more on centre due to higher mp , and Hasselblad on edges as it looks the 80/1.7 has better edge performance. Also people who buy this lenses care for bokeh quality and it would be great to see. One more thing pushing 3 stops those sensors is not much , they are going to be clean (specially at 100% view). 4-6 stops we would see which one is actually better.

[@Xingqiwu387]

The color rendition from the Hasselblad is definitely better than that from the Fuji. The color of the Leica in the images taken with the Fuji looks almost like a light gold, whereas the image from the HB conveys what seems to be a more natural silver. Is this the result of HB's own color science? Also, the bluish background in the HB images is much more vibrant and appealing.

[@MacM545]

Thank you mathphotographer. Please do a high ISO samples comparison if you get a chance. Fuji should be better, being that the sensor is a BSI sensor. Resolutions are different, so that should be taken into account, although based on what I've seen in the video, it seems you know that part. Now, medium format is generally better than Full Frame; but keep in mind, there's the law of diminishing returns, so the value for every dollar spent might make a purchase decision complex. I myself have thought about getting a medium format with BSI sensor for astronomy applications. I might even get a medium format service to get rid of the CFA, which many people might not even know about such a thing- which can increase resolution at least slightly but also immensely increase ISO ability. That's currently so far beyond my budget, but still, am glad to have watched your channel!

[@paulraphael]

Adobe RGB is not a profile! It's a color space / rendering intent. Choosing Adobe RGB does nothing to alter the colors from a camera. The colors are defined by the raw processing profile. You're contributing to the near universal confusion around these topics. Hasselblad X and Fuji GFX cameras have the same sensors (unless you're comparing dfferent generations like you're doing in this video) and produce raw files with the same linearity. The color differences are from the raw processing profiles. You can do a lot to change these.

Schade das bei so ein Vergleich zur Beurteilung der Abbildungsschärfe mit unterschiedlicher Monitor Interpolation gearbeitet wurde. eine 100% Darstellung wird über das Raster des Monitors 1:1 wiedergegeben wären bei der Fuji wegen der 66% Darstellung eine Interpolation erfolgen musste. Wenn man real Vergleichen will sollte man 180x60cm Ausdrucke heranziehen am besten vom gleichen Plotter auf gleichem Papier. Wozu sollte man denn solche Kameras einsetzen, wenn es hinterher nur einen Monitoransicht gibt? Das kann man ruhig den APS-C Kameras überlassen oder den Smartphone Fotografen. Digitales Mittelformat ist ein Werkzeug mit dem man großformatige Ausdrucke erstellt.

Yes - that's why I print images large for clients. And I need to stay reasonable in my non-scientific considerations so I look at them at computer screens. What I can tell you is that prints from both cameras are just fantastic. I develop at White Wall and then sell out to clients. And here you really see the difference between medium format and full frame so fully agree with your statement.

@@mathphotographer es ist gut zu lesen das diese Form der Kunstübermittlung nicht ausstirbt, denn leider wird das betrachten auf Handydisplay immer mehr zur Gewohnheit, ws ich nicht verurteilen will, aber dafür braucht man halt nicht solche Fotoapperate wie die zwei hier getesteten. leid tun mir Diejenigen die es nie erfahren werden, wie es ist einen Barytausdruck in Händen zu halten. White Wall ist eine sehr gute Adresse für diese Art der Qualität, ich persönlich mache es dann doch lieber selbst auf eigenen Druckern.

Wow the Hasselblad 80/1.9 is sharper wide open even on the corners...i did not expect that. But it is also about twice as expensive as the Fuji...and don't get me wrong the Fuji is VERY good, but like I said i did not think the Hassy would be noticeably better. As the other commenters suggests...yeah sure it's not scientific but this would have been a lot better if you use a Colorchecker chart to have a calibrated sensor...or for low-effort you could have at least used a gray card to ensure the white balance is on point... I have no complaints with Hasselblad's AF performance...it's contrast-detect only but as you noted it's AF accuracy is very good. I was honestly expecting the Fuji to be a lot faster. As fo the entire camera design...I prefer the clean lines and simple/basic control design language of the Hassy. Good thing I don't do photography for a living because the XCD can be finicky and unreliable (with its early firmware...occasionally locks up...and the only camera i've lost images while shooting because it locked up while writing the images to its buffer)...otherwise I would choose the Fuji.

[@cameraprepper7938]

"Different sensors", it is the same type of Sony sensor in both cameras !

[@mathphotographer]

Same type for sure but individually calibrated and embedded. Likely its Sony as sensor manufacturer, I agree. But I am also not 100% sure … But yes, Sony makes most of the sensors in top notch cameras from various brands, spot on in your comment.

I feel like I’m the minority that cares about leaf shutters

[@martijnsmith1525]

It's definitely niche but yeah, flash sync is a little rough with fuji. Kinda expected them to have made the 1.7 with a leaf shutter like the pentax 67 had with some lenses.

Hasselblad: Chinese garbage. Faulty, not fixable via firmware. Slow, lousy focus. Nuff said.

[@jorgemoro5476]

Exactly. Thank you.

The cameras are for fine art and you take a picture of another camera...........get yourself a different job

[@cameraprepper7938]

WHAT, you did not use the X2D, so you cannot use this comparison !!! noob

[@mathphotographer]

The X2D was not even announced when this video was posted. And the GFX100II was also not yet announced 😅

[@cameraprepper7938]

@@mathphotographer So you should have compared to the Fuji GFX 50 S !!!

[@byazrov]

This video is a very bad news for Fuji. The image you took with it is absolutely terrible in terms of color and exposure. I can't believe that this camera shoots so bad.

[@jean-claudemuller3199]

It's known that this Fuji has a magenta like color rendering, specially with skin tones. Fine subtle tonal ranges seem also not being rendered as nice as on the X1D.

[@GKhanKutar]

It is not because of Fuji. It is because of the user. Wrong WB and Wrong Film Simulation.

[@goldfinch2283]

@@GKhanKutar what you mean by film simulation. When you shot in RAW there is no film simulation 😉

[@GKhanKutar]

@@goldfinch2283 there is film simulation. They are applied to raw file too. GFX has no way to show such a color. There is something wrong

[@jean-claudemuller3199]

In RAW shooting WB is set identical in the software, and film simulation is a no go, at the end you want your own pictures style and not a Fuji film out of the box rendering made for everybody.
