They didn't say separate they did say package though. So i think it comes with it. Last few minutes of the video they mention it.Would anyone address my question on that bag?

Yes it might be the Rucksack series, one of the twoThey didn't say separate they did say package though. So i think it comes with it. Last few minutes of the video they mention it.
It's a separate $350 Billingham bag. Expensive yes but not outrageously so in the luxury camera bag market.Would anyone address my question on that bag?
Wow! A bit too rich for me.It's a separate $350 Billingham bag. Expensive yes but not outrageously so in the luxury camera bag market.
i agree that this is a camera that I'd love to have but part of me wants to know more about it, see a lens roadmap, and see what Photokina brings. This is definitely a huge game changing move for Hasselblad.I taught 28 workshops with many of the members here as well and my gut feeling after all the DSLR cams we had and all the tech cam cool stuff we played with. If I had just one of these available we would have a tug a war on our hands on getting to use it. I know many attendees would have rather had something as simple as this to work with. Now take that case scenario outside the workshop environment than I know this would be the case no question about it. This is extremely interesting and it actually gives me a chance to sneak back in.
I'm already working on getting a demo unit. I'm not stupid . Lol
A bag made with premium materials or craftsmanship... or the illusion of such. That being said I have a couple of ONA bags and wouldn't trade them for much else in a messenger style bag.Wow! A bit too rich for me.
[What is a luxury camera bag? Would it carry itself? ]
Excellent handmade English craftsmanship, top notch quality and functional. I have 2 of them already 20 years or so and they last forever, also look good forever. still looking like new.It's a separate $350 Billingham bag. Expensive yes but not outrageously so in the luxury camera bag market.
Is there an e shutter?I just attended Hasselblad X1D launch in NYC,
and got to handle the camera and ask questions.
I'd say Hasselblad got it right. Congrats to their team.
A couple tidbits:
• camera shoots at 1.7 to 2.3 fps depending on ISO
• battery is 3200 mAh (looks/functions similar to Leica S battery)
I guess I'm having problems wondering what this would deliver over a a7rII with great glass on it? Even lighter, tons of lens choices some of them incredibly, comparable resolution, even better ISO performance, BSI sensor, IBIS stabilization. Yeah, maybe some incremental quality with larger sensels and a little more resolution, but the sony system packs some real quality vs the weight.I really could see dumping my XF / IQ180 for this new X1D. The XF is unbearably heavy especially with the 40-80mm attached. Yes I'd lose a bit of resolution and C1 but the small lightweight Blad plus high ISO capability would make up for that.
Anyone else have the same thoughts ?

My thoughts exactly. If I did not have the Sony A7rII and a lot of Canon glass (some really terrific), I would find the X1D very attractive. I do believe the X1D is a game changer for MF, but not for me at this point.I guess I'm having problems wondering what this would deliver over a a7rII with great glass on it?

I think it's a sweet looking camera, and in a few years if they get some great glass and get a 70-80mp sensor in it, then it would be pretty tempting.
I agree Rick. Although I've tapered off weddings, I could see this as a go to kit for most wedding work. I'd probably adapt the HC100/2.2 rather than go for a 90mm just to gain the speed. The HC100/2.2 isn't that large so would probably work fine.As a wedding and portrait photographer I find the X1D to be very interesting and tempting. The Nikon TTL compatible flash system is a biggie (for me), as are the dual card slots and the leaf shutter lenses. I tend not to "spray and pray" so 2 fps seems okay to me. The 45mm lens, a 30mm lens, a 120mm macro, and maybe something longer would be perfect.
Any other wedding photographers out there? Your honest opinion is always appreciated.

I've drastically cut back on weddings as well. But this just might be a nice small light kit to use. (Fast Autofocus??) I'd be interested to see how well the Nikon flash shoe works with a Nikon TTL Profoto Air transmitter coupled with a Profoto B1 and B2. What a great portable combination! I'm not a fan of TTL, but the Profoto TTL works amazingly well, and gets you really close for final adjustments. Add being able to control output from the camera too. I don't hear many talking about this feature-set, but I think this could be a hidden gem. Not a game changer in my opinion, but definitely kudos to Hasselblad.As a wedding and portrait photographer I find the X1D to be very interesting and tempting.

My thoughts as well. Definitely the 2016 version of the Mamiya 7 with a small collection of lenses & AF. I also have a similar set up with my XPan II too (3 lenses cover everything, albeit pano). Heck, I travel mostly with a Sony RX1R II anyway.The Mamiya 7/II was for many the landscape photographer’s camera bar none. It was compact, not too heavy, had phenomenal glass and the 6x7cm transparencies it produced (when in the right hands) were gorgeous. It didn't have tilt/shift, but quite simply that didn't matter.
From what I’ve read so far, the X1D looks to be as close to a digital successor to the Mamiya as we’ve yet to see.
Me too.If I was a landscape shooter wanting to shoot MF without schlepping around a ton of gear, this would be right up there on my wish list.
