Hasselblad have 2 mirrorless flagship cameras both featuring a 100 megapixel backside-illuminated sensor. This sensor is by far the best I’ve used in any camera. The image quality is absolutely stunning giving you 15 stops of dynamic range at the base ISO.
There are some differences between the X2D and the 907x. Which camera is right for you depends on your style and needs as a beginner photographer.

You made a good choice. While the SL camera bodies are fantastic, the sensors and color processing aren't that different from the Panasonic S1h. There are multiple posts on Leica forums and here on KZbin comparing RAW and straight to jpeg files. Nearly identical. With the X2D you get an actual larger sensor and great image processing.

The only drawback is the shutter release and the lack of a joystick. The shutter release is a gap in imagination. The only thing they need to do is build a simple trigger app for the Apple watch. The joystick requires redesigning and I don't know why it was not included.

I love your vids! Would you ever do a vid on analog vs digital medium format? I started follwing you after your Pentacon 6/ Kiev 88 videos! I think you are one of the only youtube personalities out there with a nuanced views about analog/digital photography. Not romantic about one or the other. Either positive or negative. Something I oftentimes miss with modern reviewers, something you actively included in a couple of your past videos. Merely as a one off, comparing the formats, would be a treat!

I’m a huge fan of both, even though from the start of digital I switched to Canon… I did have an M8, M9 as well at the end but my Canons were the money printing devices. So I have no bias toward one or the other. But, as good as the Leica is, and it’s pretty awesome, the Hasselblad smashes it… not even close. If I had to choose I’d dump the Leica in a moment. The Hasselblad is that good… beyond good. The newest lenses are optimised for the current tech and the 90mm is said to be the best ever lens in the Hasselblad lineup. I haven’t shot with it yet but the 38 2.5 is just astounding.

I received my 907x 100C last month. As a Leica user, I found that the lack of IBIS is not an issue at all. The key difference lies in the aperture size (I shoot wide open a lot), and the 907x can be challenging to shoot in low light without a tripod. While it is a slow machine, I have had a lot of fun with it. The autofocus is sufficiently fast and very precise with the XCD 55 lens. However, I still love shooting with my Noctilux 0.95 + M11-P much more for general purposes. The build quality and the feel of manual focus are on a different level. In terms of image quality, the 907x is technically better but not much difference, it is clinical and lacks characters compared to Noctilux 0.95. In low light handheld conditions, the Noctilux 0.95 is incredibly enjoyable to shoot with, and I cannot find any competitors for the image quality in this situation except perhaps the X2D with IBIS.

I especially love your Hasselblad videos. For me, I'd go with the 907X system. I like the idea that I can use that 100CFV (or 50CVF depending on what you have) on my 500CM camera system along with shooting film. Film is the majority of my work still. With regards to the "Studio Queens" (love that nickname), the thing I liked about the H-system over the X system is there was a lot more accessories available for H cameras. The lens selection was a lot better also imho. Maybe in the future Hasselblad will address that issue?

I'm a professional landscape photographer and former Blad user from the 80's. My big concern, #1 is the lack of product availability. #2 the 907 intrigues me but the lack of any real protection for the sensor could be a problem using it outdoors. It would be nice if someone would also talk about the legacy V lens adapter that Blad makes and how that would work in the field on either one of theses set ups.

Great overview. I agree with you the X2D not having a shutter release is a major oversight. Even more so when it was released and basically the AF had 1999 capabilities: A landscape image quality first camera with no cable or remote release. They could solve it by creating an app for the Apple watch. I hope the next-generation 907 system includes a port for an electronic viewfinder. Hasselblad should not manufacture it (they probably can't get the money back) but make it open and have a bunch of small companies create different viewfinder accessories.

My only issue with the Hassleblad X2D and 907x 100c is the price. You really really really have to be a Hassleblad fan AND have deep pockets, and Only want to do just slow product or portrait photography. For example, If you want a set of 4 lenses, Say a 38 mm F 2.5: that's 3700. a 55mm F2.5: thats 3700, a 90mm F2.5: thats 4300, and a Zoom the 35-75mm, thats 4000. The camera cost 8200. That is a grand total of 23, 900 Dollars. Then you say, well, what about the competition. Immediately you think of the Fuji GFX 100 II: The camera is 7500, a similar lens system is 30 mm F3.5 lens is 1700, the 55mm H1.7 is 2300, and 80mm f1.7 lens is 2300, and zoom 32-64 is 2300 (if you prefer the 45-100, that is same price at 2300). AND that is not even including the fact that you have options for reduced pricing like going for the GF 45mm, 50 mm, or 63mm slower lens instead of the f1.7 lens, as ell as more third party options; as well as the option to go for the 100s instead of the 100 II, which would drop the price of the camera body to 4300 (in today's sales, but normally 6000). But, using the original examples I included, you have a cost of 16,100. So that is $23,900 vs $16,100. That is a different of $7800 AND you get way a much more versatile system that also include fairly good video capabilities, the ability to shave off some 3000-4000 off that price by going with slower lens, and probably another 1500-3000 off that price by going with the GFX 100s, which would still give you better video capabilities. AND you have more option with 3rd party lenses. And this is not even including the option of significantly greater options, significant more versatile options, by going with a full frame system from Sony, Nikon, Canon at a much much cheaper price. I get the craftsmanship of Hassleblad is great, I get there is better flash sync, and arguably better colors compared to fuji film.. But is that enough for an otherwise objectively worse, but more expensive camera?

Claiming that the Fuji has great video capabilities makes me believe you are a fanpal. The Fuji video capabilities are primitive, with that horrendous rolling shutter. Also, Fuji has a 1/125 flash sync crap. Finally, the camera lacks personality, both in terms of manufacturing and experience. It's a generic Japanese camera. If you like that, buy a Sony, a Canon or a Nikon. Excellent cameras modern and far less expensive.

@@jaimeduncan6167 I already mentioned the flash sync speed is an advantage. Great video capabilities may be a stretch, but it is at least descent, maybe even good. You can't use them to film the olympics, but you can use them as talking head, or film a family event on a pinch. I agree hassleblad looks beter. But is it work the 6300 -12K difference in price with just a 4 lens setup? Crop medium format is not that much larger than full frame. Which again begs the question, are you better served with a Nikon Z8 or Z9, a Sony A1, R5, or A9III, or Canon R3, R5 or in the future R1. You can even get two separate bodies if needed to cover your needs, many lens, and it is still cheaper. Product photography? many of the newer high resolution cameras allow you to "stich" many images together to form 1 large much higher resolution picture if needed. Also, No need for name calling, that's childish. I'm merely mentioning an alternative both in the digital medium format space, as well as in full frame. It's up to people to decide what they want.

@@dayeah765caoni3 No one is Whining. Also Just because you claim Apple to Orange doesn't mean your statement is valid. 1. The Hassleblad Lens and the 100S II uses the same lens. So how is it apple to orange. The difference is how they implement it, and the price/craftmanship. 2. Regarding full Frame, the point is this is not 6x7, 6x6 or 6x4.5 medium format that is much later than the current 44x33 medium format. The current medium format is only 1.6x larger than full frame, which itself is about 1.5-1.6x larger than APSC. It's the same argument in the APSC space, can you stick with say a fuji XH2S or XH2 instead of going with sony, canon, or nikkon and get fairly good enough or near equivalent quality. But unlike the difference between apsc and full frame, where both can serve as good multipurpose cameras, the jump from full frame to crop medium format takes you away from all the versatility and capabilities of full frame to something much more limited, while ballooning the price. So I think it is valid, why not Fuji GFX over this camera, and why not full frame over this camera. Otherwise, why not just go phase one then?? Oh is Phase One too expensive?? NOW price matters???

Hello, I own bot the X1D and the X2D C100 both give outstanding image quality. I started using Hasselblads back in the 1980's with the 500 series. I tried the Fuji GFX 50 when it came out with the X1D. At that time the image quality were very close and not a lot in it. But for usability bot in the hand and for studio /location flash work the Hasselblad wins. I now have the Hasselblad X2D C100 and YES it is not as fast as my Z9 or Z8 but they do not give the image quality rather.(but still good). The Hasselblad just beg you to go out and us it all the time. Taking a bit more time to creat images in most cases is not a bad thing. Then if you need the speed then you know.

@theazurian2778
@theazurian2778 3 ай бұрын
2 reasons, first is that sony has the copyright for the sensor design for digital sensors so even if companies like Kodak or hasselblad made their own sensors they have to pay royalties to Sony which is not a good way to go, its alot cheaper and effecient to just buy the sensors from sony which is why Kodak and other companies stopped production. I think canon is the only one who is making their own sensor, but they still pay alot of royalties to sony so thats why their cameras are a little more expensive then what they are worth. The second one is cost, if they did a 4x5 or a 3x4 the cost of the body alone would be anywhere from 2 X2D cost to maybe 10x the cost. As for lens yeah they could adapt the H series lens but its preferable they create a new ecosystem or use the same XCD lens as currently mirrorless rules the market. So if they do want to make a new sensor format they have to spend alot on RND and even then how many people will buy it? I mean they could do what Phase one does but phase one is never an option to pleabs like us, a single lens cost over 20k so I doubt they can relate to one another.

No, they are not. Fuji did build the H system lenses, at least the originals. This time around is divided between Nittoh (the original series lenses that are objectively better than Phase One's funny name lenses) and the V series by Panasonic. The V series lenses have not been fully tested, but they seem to be excellent and far better than the old Zeiss series. Beyond curiosity who manufactures the lenses is not important (unless the person is trying to compensate for a loss in who has the longest or who's milkshake brings more boys). The lenses are built to Hasselblad specifications and design.

Great video. As much as I love the 907x , IBIS is important to me as well as the handling, which is why I went with a used X2D at a very attractive price, less than $6300. But coming from Fuji GFX line, which is great, better AF, the X2D inspires me. Case in point, last night at the blue hour, just finished raining and it was cold, but the bluest gray of the cloud/sky next to a very old barn, open corn field compelled me to go out. The X2D/45p combo handle scene like a charm, with very little post. Anyway, love your content, keep up the great work! Also, can you do a video on your favorite Hasselblad lenses? I only have the 80mm 1.9 and the 45p, both I picked up used from a lenses rental place for only $2500/ no taxes where I live. I digress 😂😂

We didn't know either so we ended up buying both - still awaiting the XCD28mm after waiting nearly 15 months for the 90mm which is the bomb - although to be fair they don't get as much use now as the GFX100 T+S lenses, the 30mm T+S is king for architecture whilst the 110mm T+S is the king for funky large format style portraits. We use the Hass for those on location but inside portraits of families - even though in our hearts we know the 30mm T+S could probably do a better job we love the Hass on a tripod as you can communicate with your subjects much better that way. - especially now it has proper flash functionality - the matching X2D is great for candids though. Both are good but in different ways - the Hass app is properly sorted except for one thing - orientation when it's upside down and streaming to the app using an iPad pro!!

As an X2D and GFX owner, if the 907X had come out before the X2D, I would definitely have purchased it in preference, purely for the form factor and the visual connection to the 500 series. Regarding comments about price, I don't think the Hasselblad bodies are overpriced. The X2D's build quality makes it's competitors feel slightly "cheap". However, Hasselblad's lens pricing is a different matter entirely and it's not justified by the leaf shutter - cf the 45p re what a leaf shutter lens can be built and retailed for.

Frankly, I'd prefer a 2nd CF express slot over any built-in storage: SSDs have a limited life span, and having them soldered in is bad enough in Apple's notebooks and phones already; we don't need this additional point of failure in pro level high end cameras!

I had the option of buying the X2D, in late 2022 and sadly I didn't, instead going for the GFX100s, as I was worried about the AF in the X2D and I love the GF110 f/2, which Hasselblad doesn't have an equivalent of. The big downside to my decision was the slow flash sync speed of the GFX camera, which the Hasselblad just doesn't have. I still love the X2D though and one day I would love to get one (or more probably the X3D or X4D, as I don't see myself as changing any time soon).

Great review ! One question- I noticed that the X2D drops the viewfinder resolution in the moment of focussing which I found so annoying that I did go for the 907x100c. Have you noticed it and did it not bother you?

I don't understand the argument for a monochrome only digital camera. Sure, a monochrome preview mode to make composition easier, but with a preset in Lightroom, you'll have black and white in a few clicks.

Both cameras will accept adapted lenses I assume? Thought 907 has the advantage that you could slap it on the back of a 500c or 500 ELM as well. Do you think there will be or is there a true 6x6 or 6x7 digital back/camera in the future? I have a D850 which has more than enough megapixels for me plus 14 bit raw. I has thinking the difference would not be significant. I was also thinking that a 4x5 would be cool. Shoot and scan.... Thoughts?

The 907X has an AF joystick on the grip. When using the 907X on a regular basis as standalone it needs the grip because of missing functions without such as exposure lock, back button AF, 2 scroll wheels ... When using the back mainly on a V system SLR and only randomly on the 907X it doesn't need the grip.

Ok ive used the 907x 100c for a little over 3 months now and lets just say the experience is horrible. As an early model variant mine has alot of issues from it freezing up occassionally to the system deleting your pictures on its own and even when outdoors forcibly jamming itself where it cant even open the damn lens, the last one is the worst because even taking out the battery is not a permanent solution. Tried to contact Hasselblad customer service and they ghosted me for months before saying "its normal operations and expect your pictures to be deleted automatically"..................... TF I have lost hope in this company now as a long time user of their products. In all honesty if yall read this and still want a hassy, just get the X2D and make sure its at leats at the 10k number as anything before may have early production issues.
