Maybe because he is one of the more important faces of Hasselblad, he has been in countless HB events, one of the HB enbasadors is working form him, he is one of the top recognized chinesse photographersWhy should I care what this goofball has to say?
And, more importantly, why should Hasselblad?

Well, I'd never heard of him before. And his review seemed spotty and full of cutesy junk that makes it very unprofessional to my eye.Maybe because he is one of the more important faces of Hasselblad, he has been in countless HB events, one of the HB enbasadors is working form him, he is one of the top recognized chinesse photographers
etc.
After listening to the review, the "rips" is an overstatement. He dis a review of the camera, pointing some flaws. The insaceptable part (the lens falling appart) I agree with him 100% and that alone could have motivated him to do
the video. Pretty stupid of HB if they did not just change his lens. He don't seems to like DJI direction. P1 chould contact him, if he drops Hasselblad that could be a massive PR hit.
Best regards,
Thanks for the snarky remark. It's always a pleasure to hear objective comments like this.Well, if Godfrey's never heard of him, there's no more we need to know.
Sure. I just didn't know anything about this guy or why I, or Hasselblad, should care about what he has to say. I looked him up. He makes some fine (and some rather over-stylized) photos and has a relationship with Hasselblad.never underestimate the Chinese market and their buying power...and there are some amazing photographers there by the way.
You must have watched a different youtube video to to one you linked to - it was a very complimentary review with a few minor references to things that could be improved - delivered in typical understated and considered manner. Perhaps the nuances of his delivery were missed because you aren't familiar with Chinese manner. I liked the subtle slap in the face to dji when referencing colour change in X11D - followed up with "I don't like cameras with too much plastic in them" - in other words dji - stay away from Hasselblad beautiful aesthetics.
Could you please summarize what his beef is with Hasselblad cameras? Thanks!
Uncle Bob, Agreed.The controversy is a waste of time.
The only effective way for a consumer to provide feedback to a manufacturer is to simply not buy what it is hawking.
To critique someone based on third party evidence is just silly.
My objection to this thread is that a relatively mild review is amplified to the negative with invective unrelated to the critique itself.
This is a stupid facebook-like trick and has no place in this forum.
Anybody heard the term "fake news?" LOL
Anyway, please demonstrate your opinions with images taken with the offending camera. Repairs are a lot easier now then when I was starting…
Back then I took my gear every year to Marty Forscher for a CLA.
The cameras knew when I was late and would go wonky without warning.
carry on, with personal experience only please.
