when hasselblad shows us the future.

[@axelherr2410]

While you arguably produce the best and most cinematic camera videos in the world, this certainly is one of your very best. Supporting you on Patreon is an honour.

[@GxAce]

Thank you so much Axel :)

[@gnostocrat]

Hmmm trying to be Ridley Scott isn’t giving the audience much product viewability. Excellent video … but I’m interested in what the camera is about.

[@giorgiocaron9121]

Idk I find this kind of video and voice kinda cringe

[@KyleSliger]

@@giorgiocaron9121Ironically I find using tired internet buzzwords like cringe to lazily diminish the work of one of KZbin’s best and most consistent camera content creators is cringe. I guess we’re all entitled to an opinion

[@klickbeastppc]

​@@gnostocratgo watch a different video then. You are watching the wrong content if that's what your needs are.

[@ljtech20]

I don't even care about Hasselblad cameras (though I agree this one is beautiful). I'm here for the absolute A-Class production quality and sound design. You can tell GxAce is passionate about cameras and making videos. When I get notified that one of your videos is released, I stop anything I'm doing and sit down to appreciate the work and effort you've put into it!

[@SamWelker]

Just came to leave the same kind of comment… too true.

[@thehasinhafiz]

This guy does not hold back! 🥶 The Patreon "call to arms" was out of this world!

[@looppp]

The way you isolate shadows and highlight specific light sources in your editing is amazing

[@MrBlistertips]

Dang. GX delivering master-classes in content creation to the entire KZbin photography community with cyborg-like relentlessness. Bravo…again.

[@redwoodsedits1611]

Wether you think they're overrated or not, you gotta admit that Hasselblad make the most aesthetic medium format camera bodies out there!!!

[@CianMcsweeney]

Definitely, way more sleek and compact than fujis gfx system

[@adlanet9664]

in my opinion is there was more compitition in this industry we would have a different opinions but those to are having the monopoly soo anything we say or think or even feel about those Medium Formats is useless@@CianMcsweeney

[@necron1050]

I'm personally a bigger fan of the way the Phase one XF looks. To me the Hasselblad x2d I more inline with phase ones styling than Hasselblads, I guess that's a good thing for me though.

[@neerajnongmaithem392]

Well they charge an absolute premium so they better make the best looking stuff ​@@CianMcsweeney

[@KevinEscobarCo]

what do you mean by "most aesthetic"?

[@michaelroshko7067]

the cinematics+soundtrack in this are INSANELY good

[@MicaelWidell]

Wow. I have watched all of your videos and this is probably the most stunning one so far. Something with the music and how it syncs with the b roll, as well as the new CRT screens etc. awesome!

[@generico896]

Doode!! Holy Sony, you're among the best filmmakers on YT! This is next level colorgrading, composition, B roll, just overall presentation

[@joeallam]

Love it as always, Casey! I enjoyed my time with the X1D II, although it _did_ cause me to slow down a bit more than I wanted. Hopefully I can try the X2D and GFX 100 II sometime this year too!

[@GxAce]

Thanks Joe!! I haven’t had a chance to use that one but I imagine the AF is faster on this. Definitely a bit on the slower side but again it doesn’t really affect me too much. I might bring it to Japan in Feb so I can show you ;)

[@Schaddn]

It looks old and new at the same time, love it

[@levimumford-nichols9732]

Thanks!

[@GxAce]

Thank YOU! :D

[@trailfuchs]

Again and again...a pure work of art. i really love the feeling and look you're creating. thanks again for your creativity

[@papalovesguitars3337]

I have owned and still own many exceptional cameras from Leica, Nikon, Canon, Fujifilm, Pentax, Mamiya but I have never owned a camera that inspires me to pick it up and use it like the Hasselblad X2D. The image quality and color science in that camera is above and beyond more superior than any camera I have ever used.

[@DurHergland]

sounds like a user problem.

[@rebelsociety]

False. The best camera in the world is none other than the Canon T3i.. absolute beast of a camera and way ahead of it’s time. Puts the Hasselblad to shame

[@sprm34kncell]

I've seen copies of your thumbnails, or atleast the style, but no one can replicate this. Truly beautiful work

[@ashesonwool4011]

GXAce: finds a new camera to play with GXAce: is this the future of cameras???

[@VOByRobbins]

Wow, your videos are literally art and are getting even better--- great review of this camera and your examples of the image quality of this camera are perfect--- Thank you

[@chobiwala_soumen]

I think whatever camera you use , you make it a hasselblad or whatever you want. Your videos are insanely good and I am totally mesmerized how good are you.

[@zoltankaparthy9095]

I have waited all my life for this camera and I started with a Baby Brownie in '48. This camera is wonderful in IQ and color. It does so much so well. And, yes, it is an industrial design gem, it is fun to hold and easy to use. Expensive as hell but worth every penny.

[@feederbrian9457]

6:01 is that… David Imel from Waveform?

[@andrewprasanna9323]

What an epic video this is! The pacing, the b-roll setup, the music, the colour grade, the photographs....what a masterpiece!!

[@timwiesner5941]

You are truly making some of the best content on KZbin, especially when it comes to camera "reviews" (it feels like an insult to call your videos that). Everyone of your videos feels like a film in itself, a glimpse into that sci-fi world you are creating.

[@billwinterscinematographer]

Thank you for your top quality work. It is very inspiring 🙏

[@aratafreecs3445]

Listening on my studio monitors, the beat at 0:47 gave me CHILLS!

[@jebeq2007]

Damn It GxAce! Why did you have to do this! Just when I thought I had my GAS under controll you have to drop a video like this. I love the colors coming out of the X2D!

[@georgkilianbraunig5877]

Dude, your videos are my current understnanding of ART, well done keep it up, there is no channel i get more exited to watch when notified...

[@GRETZ1E]

Another year of GxAce! 🎉🎉

[@iammateso]

Beautiful as always. The score, chef kiss! You can feel every single component in the camera.

[@sbills]

I love your videos. So creative! Great review on the X2D camera. Maybe we'll see some lens more Hasselblad reviews in the future??? The X2D is a bit outta my price range so I might grab the X1D-II which is still a great camera!

[@UNSCPILOT]

Opening with a track from Melodysheep, one of the Life Beyond series, what a wonderful choice from another cinematically gifted KZbinr

[@CraigTulloch]

Love your videos The aesthetic, the content, the thought that goes into each one. But the music choices in this one were exceptional. You make photography exciting again for me. Thanks for that.

[@tornado5783]

GxAce, I wanted to let you know that your influence played a significant role in sparking my passion for photography. My journey began in 2016 during my financially challenging college days. I managed to save enough to purchase a Canon 7DMKII, with an APSC sensor and a whopping 20.2 megapixels, with a usable ISO of 6400. Since then, my camera collection has grown and now my go-to camera today is the Sony A7RV, equipped with the 16-35 GM lens, version 1. I've purchased all your Lightroom presets and I love their distinctive look and feel. Your videos are a continual source of inspiration for me. Each new upload is an event in our household as my wife and I watch them together. I'm grateful for your work and the impact it has had on my photographic journey. -Ian

[@noog6756]

You've absolutely outdone yourself with this video i couldn't help myself but to smile. I mean especially audio wise, absolutely amazing.

[@MarcLerchs]

HAPPY NEW (CREATIVE) YEAR, DEAR CASEY :) Vid is really great. I love the "jackpot" effect, lol. And also your music and sounds, of course. :) Greetings from Belgium.

[@jd5787]

As usual, a very immersive experience that goes well beyond what one would expect from a YT video on a camera... Well done. Happy new year mate!

[@atom6_]

The color rendition - especially for skin colors, is unmatched. So is your content. Great stuff.

[@AMTunLimited]

I think is a pendulum swing response to the death of the DSLR. I think there'll a "surprising resurgence" in consumer-level (think powershot cheap) pocket-able cameras in about 5 or so years

[@austiinjohn]

This camera has brought so much life back into commercial work for me. Loved the video

[@nigelianzamora]

Ugggg!!! The new space looks so good!!! And the photos in this video are beautiful and amazing!!!

[@anecro]

This guy makes the best camera commercials on KZbin

[@JimmyFerminFilms]

What I hate most about the quality of this video is I can't watch it in a movie theater in its true cinematic glory. Great as always GxAce!!!

[@tjiani111]

These videos inspire me so much to create myself! I can't just put them on in the background, they deserve my undevided attention.

[@rcnk2893]

While watching this video, I got the shivers more times than any other video out there What an absolute genius you are, gxAce!

[@fredericofrancisco]

I cannot thing of a better way to start this new year with another master piece production from you 🙏

[@winniduesseldorf]

Great cinematic video ! I hope HASSELBLAD ist watching that too

[@JoeHertler]

My guy making me think I need them 281,474,976,710,656 colors so I can be as good as him.

[@GxAce]

I think 10293848201 will suffice ;). Also, hello!! It’s been quite a while.

[@AsianWithHat]

Dropped everything again to watch.

[@JeDxDeVu]

Love the regular uploads man. I’m sure it’s a mission given the quality but god damn it’s good.

[@arfmf]

GX Ace's aesthetic is so cohesive that it really looks like someone from another world is somehow receiving camera gear from earth and testing in his distopian reality

[@christopherwalag]

This is the first video I ever saw of yours. Wow I'm supporting you for behind the scenes

[@adamalthus]

Awesome work as always. You nailed it. I’m fortunate to have this in my kit. I have never shot a camera that delivers more accurate, natural colors than the X2D. It’s pure joy to shoot with.

[@ppBizU]

Ouh! I didn't know you're a buddy with mkbhd/studio! Cheers!

[@HardwareLust]

New year, new GxAce. I like how 2024 is going so far.

[@Angelo-anc]

the kind of content you produce is worth uploading in HDR. keep up the good work!

[@MrRoskoPeko]

The level of production in your reviews is unmatched and every one a joy to watch.

[@totallynotkeith5487]

Idk how ur uploading so much, but I love it 🔥🔥🔥 Keep up the fantastic work 😎

[@Schlingelkind]

Music choice and Sounddesign on point!

[@colonelsteve11206]

Really beautiful work Gx. Found your channel recently and absolutely love your style

[@vincentfollezou]

The cinematography of all your video is so great. It make me feel like it's from the Warhammer 40k univers. A beautiful grim darkness

[@benatea]

Yet another GXACE feature film, we're blessed

[@mjmdiver1137]

That rolling shutter, though... I use the Fuji GFX100S and previously the GFX50R and the rolling shutter is a legit issue to contend with when shooting electronic shutter... It's not something I would want to have to do all the time for certain.

[@m4tik]

In times when Sony rolls out a global shutter camera, this sensors seem like an antiquity.

[@nigelianzamora]

I haven't even watched the video yet - but this is coolest thumbnail on KZbin!!! Let's GO!!!

[@Khormologia]

What are the music names THEY ARE ALL BANGERS

[@jasondanielblack]

Agree - I’ve been scrolling through all the comments to see if anybody has the first song listed. Shazam can’t find it!

[@boog3y]

ahhh melody sheep's music matches soo well with this type of videos.. thanks for the video GxAce

[@grassIand]

the opening being the city of my hometown brings a lot of memories, I love Ningbo

[@Baujahr90erAG]

What a Video…. Absolutely stunning

[@cammackey]

The only person to be able to convince me to finally try this camera.

[@pinkfatcap]

lmao ok, as if anyone would turn down the chance to "finally" try this camera.

[@cammackey]

@@pinkfatcap I did.

[@secondstage4272]

Your gear videos are great I would also love to see your process on photography, the actual art of taking a photo regardless of the camera used.

[@elyt]

Man... Whenever I watch a video of yours... It always leaves me in awe. And it also inspires me and gives me hope because I have always wanted to create and achieve this kind of look in my future project. These Cyberpunk vibes. Ugh! I love your content. It's just insane, man. You are doing a wonderful job. 🙇‍♂ 👏🖤

[@50.8shop]

Nice video ! The review and the cinematic are 💯

[@NovelWonder]

Denis Villeneuve been real quiet since this came out. Seriously man, the immersive sci-fi experience you provide is like none other on KZbin!

[@corygraham601]

Another breathtakingly cinematic dystopian retrospective. Thank you for everything you do!

[@robertmcneal77]

OMG! Your videos are truly impressive. Editing top notch... A serious production. Great Job..

[@coasttocoastphoto]

Your video is very creative. I almost bought the predecessor of this camera new in December of 2016. I was in LA at Samy’s and ended up buying a Leica S007. At the time, the Hassy was new and had serious software issues in that we couldn’t even get it to boot up. One thing I can attest to is the quality of HC glass with Leica making an S to H adaptor. Some of my favorite shots have been made with Hasselblad lenses. Since 2016, I’ve crossed paths with several versions of this camera, but I was never convinced that I should make the plunge as Leica always seemed to have the edge. As I watch your video, I am swayed somewhat by your images, but 100mp is a bit much in my opinion. Maybe I will make a change at some point; however, I’m getting a lot of mileage out of 24mp full-frame cameras including my Sigma fp and my Leica SL2-S. And if I want to get the best look, I’ll shoot my H2F or 7ii. I also have a 6x6 Ikonta from 1954 that is very capable. As for the X2D, I will say that the build quality and in-hand feel is stunning. If you can live with the res, it’s a beautiful camera.

[@riccichang2004]

Happy New Year to GxAce,❤️

[@Mowikan]

Thx for this excellent cinematic review. A joy to watch.

[@Teledible]

[@carolmarianunez]

these videos are a masterpiece. from start to finish oml. huge propss! quick questions, where do you get your music from?

The Style of your Videos is just mindblowing 🤯

[@kavinduwijay]

wow this video was amazing and ive learned quite a bit about this camera its absolutely beautiful.

[@LuigiL75]

It's...a work of art that can produce works of art!

[@MvchineSoul]

Absolutely incredible, every time!

[@earganic]

Nice video and photos! Also enjoyed your GFX 100 II video. Curious out of the two which one you enjoy the most and why?

[@sclogse1]

I'd be happy with the Contax 2 1/4 film camera system..Superb glass, great look...

[@jivaro77]

I want electron size resolution, that would be the ultimate... no need to use so many lenses, just cut and paste whatever you want.

[@JamesPero]

Always blown away by these "reviews". 😮 Any chance in releasing LUTs for video based on your color grading??? 🙏

[@alexcaristan8191]

Long time follower & fellow creator.. Your content is unmatched. Where do you get your music??

[@jasondanielblack]

I too would like to know!

[@AET-Videos]

how do you do this? the sound design, the lighting, the sotry telling... as a tech review. its amazing

[@NotDyllian]

what da fuck this is so cool I don't even know where to begin

[@keremgoart]

Brilliant camera... Would be awesome if I could have one. I'd strictly shoot monochrome landscapes with it in memory of Ansel Adams - even though he used Hasselblad for a short period of time.

[@kungpaogao]

i wish the MF feature at 4:31 was on every camera i remember some adapters for MF lenses to Canon EF used to have focus confirm which was similar and it sucks that there isn’t this kind of “MF focus confirm” for all cameras

[@necron1050]

Nikon has a similar function all of the cameras I've ever used from them, d2x D7000 D800 Z6ii and Z9 plus the Z9 has in viewfinder focus peaking if you like that, (I do like that). In the bottom left corner of the viewfinder below the image section next to the metering mode indicator.
