Leica for sure. Pentax prices might drop quite a bit though.
Hmm, having had a play around with the image of the front of the X1D in P/S, I don't see any way the 100MP sensor (at least not one that's 53 x 40) would work with H lenses mounted via an adapter.
Since the H adapter will move the lens further away from the sensor, the current 100MP sensor would be obscured behind the bayonet on the body.
I guess the 100MP sensor is reserved for the H6D line.

This would be a great replacement for Pentax and Leica (to get rid of the weight).
Any thoughts as to whether or not CF lenses would be compatible with an adapter? Would the existing CF Adapter work on top of the H Adapter? Not ideal perhaps but I have a lot of CF/CFE lenses which might come in useful with this from time to time - as they do with my H camera.
I wonder about the shooting ergonomics, for hand-held fairly fast-paced stuff.
I see that it has a back button focus drive button, back-button focus is my preferred way to work so that's good.
There's two wheels, one for f-stop, and one for shutter speed I suppose. Auto-ISO if it's good is fine by me.
There's no thumb joystick for focus point selection though, so I guess it's one single point in center one will be using with this, focus and recompose (without true focus function though...)
Any speculations?

None of those (apps) are crying out for a compact, lightweight camera.
Think about it though, this sort of discussion is far, far better than the Lunar stuff they came up with. :thumbup:
Congrats Hasselblad! :clap:
The output in that case (E shutter) would drop to 12 bit. Not what I would want in a camera that costs this much.

True... It's an option though.

For me, doing travel photography and on-location industrial photography at difficult to reach places, this would be the ideal camera. With the 30mm in place and a lens somewhere around 200mm, preferably with close focusing abilities, I would be set for life... I think
But I have some other bills to pay first.
Oh... and 645 is a crop also. People complained about that when the H1 was launched. Others took photos with the thing.
Yes, it is a niche camera. As I said earlier in the thread, the difference between the Pentax and this one is the size/weight (significant advantage to the H) and the Hasselblad reputation behind the product. Price-wise it is no cheaper than the Pentax who are likely to cut down some more. The feature list of the Pentax is probably better as well.
For me it is definitely not a 'game changer' unless the very concept of a mirrorless MF is considered to be so.
But it is a welcome development and if the promise of adapted use of legacy H glass is borne out then it may be a tempting product. As a landscape and wildlife photographer there is not enough improvement with the present package for me. I am sure it will appeal to many others though.
Because of the requirement of a LS, it should be relatively straightforward to use R/S and S/K lenses on the X1D. Just needs some sort of 'dumb' mount with the lens (in it's helical) on one end + a 'spacer' + the HB male bayonet on the other. Something that SK Grimes could do easily.
That would broadly be the equivalent of an Alpa TC + IQ350 / CFV-50C, but for a lot less.
No AF of course

Another good project for our admired korean colleague.
Darn, can't remember his name.

just ordered, delivery in July. this will be my backup to the 100c and also the walk around tool-toy
adapter to HC/HCD glass is around 300 € and full AF and exposure functionality is guaranteed.
have a nice evening!

I didn't ask for that directly...he said it during the discussion I had with him about the new "game changer" before its launch. May be he was "forecasting" but why a rep would assume that ?
I'm really into the concept overall. Couldn't care less about putting it on an Actus or adapting Canon lenses etc., but if the AF is sluggish and/or the EVF is average it'd kill it for me. It needs to be fast, fast, fast to be viable as a reportage camera. Does anyone know if it has focus peaking? Weather sealing?
