I sincerely hope that Vieri is right: The cost of a CFV50c II at about the same price as the X1D II would net my Hasselblad V system camera and lenses new useful life and give me an excuse to buy into a couple of XCD lenses as well as the 907x body. To me, that's a brilliant marketing strategy as it places value on existing users' current equipment and gives them a way forward to new Hasselblad equipment.
I'm sorry, but saying the CFV50c II is comparable, better than, or less than the X1D II is completely beside the point. I want to make use of my existing Hasselblad V system with digital capture, and I'd like to extend my existing Hasselblad V system with new generation lenses. The X1D system is a nice way of
replacing my V system equipment or moving into medium format digital equipment, but it isn't a way to extend and modernize the use of the equipment I already have.
I also prefer the form factor of the traditional Hasselblad 500 series cameras to that of the X1D for many uses. Simply a personal preference...
