Apparently there is some noise level, because the Mq function helps suppressing the aperture noise by stopping it down.Any information on the noise level of the shutter? Being a central shutter it should be less noisy than a FPS but this still doesn't mean it is quiet ...

It will be interesting to hear just how necessary this is. I still find the utterly noiseless operation on the SL (w fw2.0 and 1/8000 or shorter exposures) to be a trifle disconcerting. The light sound of the shutter cues me as to the exact moment of exposure and I miss it...Apparently there is some noise level, because the Mq function helps suppressing the aperture noise by stopping it down.

One thing I can tell you from having used the leaf shutter HC lenses up to and including the HC 300mm lens for over 10 years, you won't have to worry about shutter shock issues with the X1D as many of us did wit the Sony A7R. If Sony, Fuji or Pentax comes out with a small, lightweight mirrorless body with the same sensor and a focal plane shutter, let's see how effectively it handles shutter vibration. AFAIK, the Sony 50 mp sensor does not permit EFCS, which the Sony A7RII implemented to deal with shutter shock.The shutter is the same as in the other H lenses, so it will make the same noise. Just get your hands on a H camera, raise the mirror and shoot to get an idea. It is a small "clic": audible for the photographer but unlikely to raise eyebrows in a church assembly (I tried that...).
Count me in as one of those who would love to use this camera as an opportunity to move up to "medium format". I've worked my way through most of the Sony A7 series of cameras and I love the images but kind of hate the user experience. So I'm definitely gonna find a way to lay hands on this new Hassy. I could very easy see myself going with an a6300 kit for my real estate and telephoto needs and the Hassy for my detailed landscape stuff. Although I would want a shift option.Thank you let's continue on and discuss this new entry into the field. I know from teaching our workshops a lot of folks would love to have one of these type cameras. The 30mm is going t be nice but love to see them down the road give us even wider like a 18 and 135 / 35 equivalent . I do think a dedicated HTS adapter dedicated for this format would be nice and I think it does not have to be 1.5 but maybe even get away with a 1.2 or 1.3. I don't know the math on it but that would be very very useful in the field.
Voidshatter, thank you for the link.The A7R-II has been well documented for long exposure problems due to heating: http://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/3890417
- allow an attachable (by Allen screws) tripod foot for the H lens adapter for the X1D and while you are at it, make it arcs Swiss compatible too.

Ove is great as he doesn't speak like a marketing guy. He dares to mention the tradeoffs when there are tradeoffs. You get to know things like "sure we would have liked phase detect on the sensor, but Sony was too far into sensor development".An interesting interview with Hasselblad Product Manager Ove Bengtson on the X1D. No zooms on the lens roadmap at this time.

I see the X line remaining the entry level cropped sensors option and the H line transitioning upmarket to all MF FF sensors in the future.Ove is great as he doesn't speak like a marketing guy.

We also get to know that since there is shorter flange distance (back focus), it's easier to design sharp lenses (that's what tech cam wides live from), but that still they are well within sensor limits and introduce no crosstalk (unlike tech wides...).
And that this is strictly a 44x33mm system, as the intention is to keep the system compact. The XCD lenses are more compact thanks to only supporting the smaller image circle, and zooms are unlikely to happen as they can't be made compact enough with satisfactory optical performance.
Between the lines I think one can read that there will be no 54x41mm mirrorless until it's mature enough to actually be a drop-in replacement for the full-sized SLRs, that is a next generation sensor that supports phase detect is the first thing that must happen.
