Anyone do a weight comparison? The Hasselblad is listed at 750 grams for body plus battery. I can't find the weight of the Fuji listed anywhere.

850gms. It is a bit heavier. It does incorporate a shutter and a tilt LCD.Anyone do a weight comparison? The Hasselblad is listed at 750 grams for body plus battery. I can't find the weight of the Fuji listed anywhere.
And I'm sure there's a good reason for that...Anyone do a weight comparison? The Hasselblad is listed at 750 grams for body plus battery. I can't find the weight of the Fuji listed anywhere.

With comments like these it really seems like you're looking for justifications to stick with the 'Blad rather than finding any serious flaw with the Fuji. Especially when you think the Fuji will have shutter shock, and won't be built well (Thingness? You've never even handled either), based on absolutely no information and 100% conjecture. You could just say you want to own a Hasselblad because it's a Hasselblad. That's fine. But inventing deficiencies in the GFX is a waste of everyone's time. There are good reasons to own either, you don't have to dog the other to make your point.And I'm sure there's a good reason for that...
So the advantage of a focal plane shutter is the versatility to be used on a technical camera such like the Cambo Arctus?on the fujirumors page there is one video that shows definitely: the GFX has an FPS.
there is even a guy who designed this shutter.
Yihaaaaa ! That was, what I was waiting for. Now the party can start.
Sorry Blad. Fuji 100 points. Blad Zero.
Because I spent the first hour after the release announcement trying to find that data, which was not in the press release at least initially. And it struck me that for those considering the Fuji as an alternative to the Hassy, whose weight was already published and is low, and whose early bird discount is about to run out (at my dealer at least) that if weight was an important factor and the Fuji was notably heavier, it might be discreet to leave the data out.Why should that be ? It's pretty clear it's 850...
To ME the advantage is 1/4000th of a second. You could also say that an advantage is the ability to adapt any lens you want. There are like 6 people left using tech cameras and they are all on this site so I don't think that will make or break the Fuji's success.So the advantage of a focal plane shutter is the versatility to be used on a technical camera such like the Cambo Arctus?
The Fuji GFX seems to be a tad heavier than a Phase One/Leaf digital back though.
No way. You are severely underestimating number of tech-cam users.There are like 6 people left using tech cameras and they are all on this site so I don't think that will make or break the Fuji's success.
According to Ken Rockwell, the weight of Nikon 810 with battery is 965gms.As it is, I see 800gr and 850gr bandied about in different places but little specificity as to whether that is with our without batteries and or EVF. Depending on the way those parameters combine it could easily end up being 950+ which might make it less attractive to some than the Hassy.
Well here's my gentle riposte: the 'thingness' of a thing is indeed somewhat intangible and hard to judge without having handled either but in my opinion the Hassy *looks* like it has that intangible thing and I can tell from the pictures of the Fuji that for me at least, it won't. That's my personal feel for thingness, for a camera that feels like it isn't another cookie cutter design that looks like all the others in the dealers' windows. It isn't logical, I clearly admitted that. But for me, for my anticipated use, it's a deficiency. Your mileage can vary by as much as you like and I wish you well with it.With comments like these it really seems like you're looking for justifications to stick with the 'Blad rather than finding any serious flaw with the Fuji.

The Fuji to me looks more like a professional platform and the Hasselblad looks more like a system focused on being as compact as possible. Both cameras have their place, it's all what you want to use them for. I wouldn't try to shoot a wedding with the Blad, and I wouldn't want the Fuji on an international trip.
Tim, That is factually wrong. Get your facts right before drawing any conclusions.Also, and we will have to wait for more data, one might guess that the Sony sensor will give less DR with an EFC as is indeed the case with the A7RII when thusly deployed.
DPReview amongst others have noted that use of the EFC on the A7RII makes for noisier shadows. In my book (and in theirs) that means less effective DR. EFC also causes problems with fluorescent lights (not a problem for me) and can cause a rolling shutter effect too.Tim, That is factually wrong. Get your facts right before drawing any conclusions.
I thought that was pretty significant too. I'm not going to get too excited yet because they could have just been shooting into a hot folder and using another converter but I somehow doubt that Fuji would have let the videos out showing the screens if it wasn't the real deal.Is it just me or has anyone else noticed the most important feature of the GFX. In the video they have posted of the fashion shoot, the photographer is quite clearly shooting tethered to C1 PRO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As regards 'thingness', I must say that the Fuji does look more like a 'usable' camera system with ergonomics oriented around real world use vs superb styling. I'll take those shaped grips and tactile buttons & dials over the sleek design of the HassySLAB any day. The EVF and tilt LCD screens too tick boxes on my list.Well here's my gentle riposte: the 'thingness' of a thing is indeed somewhat intangible and hard to judge without having handled either but in my opinion the Hassy *looks* like it has that intangible thing and I can tell from the pictures of the Fuji that for me at least, it won't.
