Very pleased to read that shipments to customers appear to be starting in ernest.
With respect to weatherproofing, I shall recall a comment from several hundred messages back in this thread ... That I would be convinced that the ports and other potential openings were weathersealed as long as I could see weathersealing on a more obvious opening. The Hasselblad engineers would be well aware that weatherproofing is only as good as the weakest seal. It would be pointless to seal one opening and leave another unsealed. Hence, if the lens-to-body interface is weathersealed, I would be pretty confident that the same level of sealing (or better) was present on all other openings.
With respect to the "revolutionary" nature of the X1D (and GFX) ... I see the sensor-aspect of the X1D as an incremental step along the path for cameras to have larger sensors. I would admit to disliking the term "medium format" for the Sony 44mm x 33mm sensor. I would reserve "medium format" for a considerably larger sensor. I think of the Sony 44mm x 33mm sensor as being "super-full-frame" or similar name, and that it is just another option from 1", to micro 4/3rds, to APS-C, to FF, to Super-FF. The X1D may have other revolutionary aspects, but i think that the sensor is evolutionary.
