one of the most UNIQUE cameras Ive ever used | The $8200 Hasselblad 907x & CFV 100C

[@marshallstary]

This is one of my dream cameras since the 50mp one came out. Love the design and features.

[@philipcooper8297]

Fujifilm just does it better, at much lower price.

[@alejandrolopez3923]

Omg back in the film days when I first saw the 2 1/4 negatives under the enlarger I was blown away by the amount of detail. Compared to a regular 35mm, I want this 😊

[@edwardc2635]

“Holy sh*t” is my genuine reaction. That camera and your style are impeccable. Cheers

[@calebjscott]

Manny your work is so inspirational to me. Every video you make showing your work is truly aww inspiring. Thank you for all you do.

[@michael_swardh]

Everyone got to test this camera apparently, both Tony Northrup and Matt Granger just released a video today on this. Hasselblad makes amazing cameras and lensen, they are expensive but very good.

[@Zetaphotography]

Not everyone. The same mistake they made with the X1D is that they just give it to anyone. The reviews became bad since these reviewers don’t use the camera everyday and for months. I’d rather see Paid advertising and professionals exploiting these cameras.

[@eugenegirshtel]

Agreed, my KZbin feed had 5 different camera channels reviewing this camera. One of them got to keep it!

[@mclaughkevin]

I watched a couple other reviews of this camera today but you were the first to show where the shutter button is and I think you for that. I was so confused all day and nervous to ask where the shutter button was without sounding like a new guy.

[@theprotagonist5938]

I love seeing you posting again Manny, I look up to you

[@Kamukix]

This looks pretty awesome and reminds me of a me of the older Hasselblad cameras. I remember the first time I took the EVF off my Fujifilm GFX 50S, it gave me a similar vibe of shooting an old square body. That camera is very cube-ish in nature if you view it top down.

[@AaronAubreyPhoto]

I've always wanted a Hassy 500 c/m with a phase one back.. the fact that this is a 100MP for $8200 is pretty amazing, considering older digital backs were like $50,000.. Now if only I could afford something like this or a GFX with 110 f2

[@castieldiallo2945]

Sony, Nikon and Canon do not need to, nor should they release a medium format camera. The market is already crowded. Nice review, Manuel.

[@gimaru1]

Looks like everyone’s getting paid to post glowing reviews of a really obscure and impractical camera.

[@sebastiankaiser7335]

I definitely am intrigued… I am shooting with a 500cm. However, the price tag is tough for a passionate hobbyist still.

[@ForTheLoveOfSuits]

Great video.That camera is fantastic and the design is clever. It really doesn't look like it hides all those ports and buttons even without the handle. But I'm a portrait shooter also so I'd love to get an X2D instead. But still love it.

[@BokushingusKendoTV]

Now that my composition, lighting and editing skills have reached maturity, been thinking about getting a medium format camera for my studio work. Glad to see a few influencers covering this camera.

[@SouthDL]

You’ll be probably better served with Fujifilm GFX100II or something from Phase One at this level

[@BokushingusKendoTV]

@@SouthDL i was looking at the GFX 100 2. Have you had the opportunity to shoot with it?

[@marlinwoodruff2292]

Great content I understand your passion I had the pleasure to shoot with an hasselblad

[@AnthonyToglife]

This isn't something I would go for but it feels like the accessories were well thought out, at least on the surface (not sure if they actually function well). The price point obviously makes it niche but I'm all for the industry continuing to make out-the-box products.

[@gameshoes]

Like you, the X2D is far more practical for what I do. But I do want the 907x + CFV-100c for that different form factor. The lack of a hot shoe accessory had me not get the CFV-50C II but it's good to see one for the 100c. Also, the remote shutter accessory works with the 100c! I've been rather annoyed that they didn't put the 3.5mm jack in the X2D for the remote shutter. Tangent: some of these commenters suck. Apparently, they've never witnessed what a review embargo looks like. And you don't have to be rich to get these cameras... good budgeting and smart shopping go a long way if you want to finance your hobbies.

[@jklphoto]

I was shooting 500 Series cameras up to Y2K when the OG Nikon D1 was released. You don't have to go back to "the 50s and 60s" for the Swedish film experience 😊

[@trenchesbound]

Hasselblad color's science is superior because you say it 😊

[@MannyOrtiz]

Watch my previous video and download he files

[@cryptobyt2403]

Form factor wise. Im considering to get this cam sometimes in the future. Along with 55/2.5 21mm v and 90/2.5 Best for wide street or object framing. While still hidden. My kind of hobby.

[@johntupper1369]

@mannyortiz I'm here for the hasselblad Era

[@Zenshirokojima]

This dudes photos are hilarious. Camera looks nice.

[@ramarren]

I've owned and been shooting with the CFVII 50c version of this camera since 2020. It is terrific in every way, and the back lends new life to my beloved Hasselblad 500CM kit and all those superb Zeiss lenses. The 907x/CFVII 50c fitted with XCD 21/4 lens and set to square crop is also my dream of an all-digital Hasselblad SWC come to life as well. Brilliant camera! :)

[@ZainDoMore]

No IBIS was a deal breaker for me. Especially at this price point. I was excited to pair this with my X2D and 501cm but I guess that will have to wait until this hits the used market.

[@4xoverland]

I enjoyed the review. Note. 'Unique' is an absolute. There are do gradations of unique. Its either unique, or its not. Like being dead. or pregnant.

[@nagual2335]

in my next life, maybe. But I'm hooked to try the color science

[@artharutunyan]

Love it!!! Please review it with the classic V system and Zeiss lenses.

[@blazerbarrel2]

Love to compare cm body with the back and cf lenses against todays lenses .

[@ALWH1314]

I love my 907x 50c special edition, it’s slow, basic and actually not easy to use, but the experience of using this art piece is a privilege and the pictures from this camera is amazing color and the hidden details my Sony A7RV can’t expose. Debating with myself to get this new version or not, my heart desires but my brain disagrees.

[@dsamh]

In every frame of this video I am scared of you dropping that.

[@tre_tha_beast6848]

😂😂😂😂😂, i was thinking what if someone used this for street photography and just dropped it

[@princeitimo]

😂😂😂

[@DrewPera]

This is super impressive. How's the battery life on that tiny thing?

[@aristothethrone9032]

The color grading for this video was so creamy. that's butta!

[@TheOneWillFocus]

Ayyyyyy you were in my city... hope you enjoyed yourself

[@artsilva]

If price wasn't an issue for me, YES I would Love to have this for both using with the 907X body but also with my 6x6 V system kits. Only thing different with the V bodies is that you get a significant crop meaning that this crop MF sensor area doesn't cover the 6x6 projection, and you have to shoot basically manually or A priority and use E shutter in some models that don't have lens to digital back communication, from what I understand. Manny, I highly suggest to one day treat yourself to shooting a V series to feel and hear that power, It is something special to experience as a portrait photographer... then try the digital back and see what you think.

[@joelb727]

Always straight 🔥

[@Gihozopatrick-cu5ly]

I miss your street photography bro 🤗

[@adden2242]

Awesome shots! just cant afford that the price is just too high..woww here in the Philippines its very Very rare to see someone own that.

[@Voltzmann1]

It’s a very impressive piece of tech. And especially for getting faceAF to a medium format camera. PhaseOne hopefully will take notice. But as a PhaseOne and a Capture One user this is not for me, because of incapability issues. I wish you all the best with your new camera

[@MattWiener]

Looks like the perfect travel, landscape, architecture, street, studio camera! But with no IBIS it looks better suited to a slower style of photography. Very intriguing camera and a great video as always!

[@larsholst6216]

The function of the shutter button and the ring depends on the programme of choise.

[@hom296]

Food for thought. I don't like looking at a rear screen when photographing. To me it's an awkward position and I have to stop and put on my glasses to compose the image. I prefer looking through a viewfinder. I was a wedding photographer for many years and used Hasselblads with a viewfinder (meter prisms) so it's what I'm used to.

[@olakunleolafisoye8433]

How does one attach light triggers?

[@LMoProVisualComm]

One minute people want systems with buttons falling off the camera.. the next they wanna be minimalistic... Nice camera and very Nostalgic

[@Bobbie_Lee84]

Does this mean the 50c will get slightly cheaper? its about time.... (hopefully)

[@bebitonenita65]

Will never drop 7k to 15k for a camera. Can’t wait to see what other camera you are going to review and sponsor for us to buy.

[@stkuj]

when did you start shooting boudoir...

[@RyanREAX]

Rebrobate minds give you over to all types of sin

[@SouthDL]

Oh Hasselblad, use to be great. Nowadays there are way newer and more revolutionary tech in that industry niche, coming from RED and Sony cameras.

[@JoshuaJonesPhoto]

0:17 the first person in a video using 907x 50 or 100 in vertical mode. Thank you 🙏

[@iransirijillo]

I will trade my 50sii in a heart beat if the cost was “obtainable” for someone with my budget . Such a nice combo with the small 45mm, all I would need

[@mikel5094]

How much do you like it compared to the x2D?

[@reallynousername]

is there a hot shoe or a pc sync connector on the body?

[@NCSTalkid]

I want to get one but i prefer tlr with 120 film roll

[@dominickmontano285]

That seems like a landscape photographer dream camera

[@marioskarageorgiou6758]

Beautiful camera but with a very annoying system for aperture/shutter control and w/o ibis is going to need high shutter speeds to have great photos! Ergonomically from my side of view it has a lot of flaws but what intrigues me is that you can use it with the legend film cameras and use the lenses from back then with a digital back in a beautiful aesthetic way and have amazing results! X2D from the other hand is a much more ergonomically with today standards easy to use camera but w/o the aesthetics of 907x... in the end it depends how much are you willing to pay for it!

[@thedarkslide]

No IBIS though, right?

[@AnubisTheSonOfRa]

Best camera on the market and what you do with it? Shoot smut

[@jbmedia8882]

No AI autofocus or IBIS ??? Hope to see you at Imaging USA. 😊

[@TEMTECKPHOTOGRAPHY]

Dope.

[@Iamkitkatbar]

is this good for a hobbyist street photographer?

[@7743dustin]

If you have a ton of money maybe. Same price I’d get a leica

[@MetalDominican]

This is interesting AF!

[@denizahmet2299]

Sony needs to introduce their own medium format Alpha. Full frame image quality and resolution has peaked.

[@63MacGuy]

I wish the sensor was square with a 6x4.5 mask

[@highanddryful]

can we shoot macro?

[@unbox_travel]

In the days of reels, wherever every one asks to shoot reels apart from pics, Where do u see this going Manny?

[@Eightpspi]

I agree Video is a key feature and if you’re going to spend this much money on a camera and medium format lenses, at least we could shoot some decent 4K for social media and for Client work

[@BoomsRiddico4868]

Yes Im a Halsey V shooter! at least I was but I was using a phase One back that has a Firewire port that no longer connects to my Mac. This might be a nice upgrade. I wonder how intuitively it works with an older 503CW? Is the screen on the back responsive and bright??

[@TheOneWillFocus]

Wow, i haven't heard firewire in a while... i remember when that first was introduced and was the fastest option for data transfer.

[@LOLA6ifyable]

At 8200 USD it probably remain a dream foe me, nqad many others but fantastic camera regardless.

[@MartinV.]

Great Video!

[@realniteart]

Kudos to Hasselblad for daring to be different. It would be 10 times cooler if it was square (and 50mp for us, cheap folks)!

[@The24Z]

[@AR3Images]

No cap, I want one 😂

[@gurugamer8632]

I love my Leica M11

[@SouthDL]

Sony’s autofocus, and the latest from Nikon and Canon are way more advanced and accurate than the one we can see in this product. This Hasselblad camera in general seems somehow archaic, and it doesn’t have a real eco-system as others do.

[@jonathanellis5811]

8:42 anyone know which camera bag that is?

[@michaelsales2143]

Hipster camera.

[@yonishperling1531]

9:43 I guess it is interesting for the model or audience. The scene would be more serious, elegant and sexier

[@a_commonman]

Now I can say that I am not buying it because of the position of aperture buttons😂😂❤❤

[@RichardJPhotog]

Gah! maybe fo the holdout CFG's. Too quirky for me

[@johnadams3038]

Isn't this a Sony sensor?

[@8806gavin]

What is this tabletop mini tripod thing at 5:40. anyone have a link to that setup?

[@victahh281]

It's a platypod camera plate with a tripod ball head screwed on to it.

[@AR-vf7vg]

Hasselblat don't deserve the ridiculous leniency, the veneration everybody submits to. If Sony and Canon 'wanted' to ventur into the (real!) Medium format, or even merely copy them, they would outperform Hasselblad in a hertbeat. The other way hardly at all. They don't deserve the total absence of REAL critique (plenty!). The "it's a different concept" doesn't hold at all ! (Same at Leica) No IBIS, no decent eye-af, no tilting vertical flipping monitor, ..if it was a canon, nikon, sony, we rightly so would bash them hard.

[@dennerpereira9308]

it probably costs a kidney haha

[@obsidian00]

$13K WITHOUT a lens...

[@Jakepf]

​@@obsidian00it's 8k on b&h, still insane if u bought but not 13k

[@Jakepf]

I think I'd choose the slight difference in quality and save 5k than spend an extra 5k for color science and marginal improvements

[@Photojouralist123]

I got all 3 907x50c and X2D and most of the lens. The new 907x100c forget it about its pass no IBIS and 100mp got use a tripod bro.

With Hasselblad color science, wish they added video features or even come out with a dedicated medium format video camera with lower megapixel.

It is good to know, Sony makes its sensor, so, there is good virtue there…

@@asmith7812 indeed, but most people care more about just the images, considering that many photographers buy a camera for the features, ergonomics, usability, etc. It wouldn't make sense to drop a video like this and just show a bunch of images, especially considering it could very well be assumed the IQ will be solid.
