I see what you mean as the one that comes with the camera is only a normal USB-charger to allow camera to be connected to computer or charge battery onboard camera (something I am loath to do).My intent in buying the Nitecore charger is simply to have a backup in case the Hasselblad charger failed or was somehow lost when traveling. I always like to have a backup charger for every camera or other device that I need to rely upon upon.
Oh yes beautiful product indeed.Beautiful product! Please let me know if you have any specific questions about the camera. We are working on a major piece about the camera and we may get some answers directly from Hasselblad.
Although not really photography-related, a statement regarding GPS functionality in the 907X directly from Hasselblad would interest me. There are certainly more prominent things to write about this camera, though. CheersBeautiful product! Please let me know if you have any specific questions about the camera.

The instruction manuals for both the 907x and the CFVII 50c includes a list of what comes with the kit and how to use them...Oh yes beautiful product indeed.
I would definitely like to know what can and cannot be connected to the Flash Out socket and what sort of cables are required to make the connections to modern Flash Triggers like Godox amongst others.
Thank you Godfrey. I cleaned the contacts and pins and all seems to be working fine now!Sorry for the long delay ... I just saw your reply to an earlier comment. Doh!
The camera body control icon doesn't even appear when the back is mated to the 907x properly. This more than anything says that something is not connecting properly between the 907x and the CFVII 50c body.
Have you cleaned all the pins and pads, is it working correctly now?
I haven't had any problems with any of the SD cards I've tried in the 907x SE/CFVII 50c, and that includes with the Sandisk Extreme Pro 64G (I have several of those). I always format my cards with the SDFormatter app on macOS, however, since that really does the right job as defined by the SD Association ... I use that before using the Format command in-camera. If the card continues to have problems, try formatting it with that first. If that doesn't work, consider it as a single unit defective.I think I can now answer my own questions 2) and 3)...
2) No, there is really no reason to copy the 3FR files due to the answer for 3)
3) No information is really lost. The 3FR is imported and final raw processing occurs on your computer rather than in the camera then saved as FFF. When the camera is tethered, then the file format is FFF since the processing occurs in the computer to which the camera is tethered. Most cameras do the processing in the camera when saving to a card whereas Hasselblad does that final processing in the computer.
Please let me know if I don't have this correct.
Thank you Godrey!I haven't had any problems with any of the SD cards I've tried in the 907x SE/CFVII 50c, and that includes with the Sandisk Extreme Pro 64G (I have several of those).

I'm still learning Phocus, but haven't noticed much of anything as different between 3FR and FFF files when it comes to what Phocus produces as rendering output.
I suspect the difference in the file size might simply be that the computer-based software can do a better job of lossless compression than the in-camera processing engine can, for reasons of the amount of compute power that the more efficient compression algorithm requires. For similar reasons, you often see DNG files created in-camera that become much smaller when you re-save them with the Adobe DNG Converter app: the full DNG lossless compression algorithm takes a lot more compute power to implement than is usually available in the in-camera processing hardware. This is my conjecture ... I don't know for a fact, of course.

Jeff, if you go to the SD Card.org page that I linked in my first post above, you can download the SDFormatter app in Windows format from there. I strongly encourage you to do that rather than use other formatting tools ... It does the right job for sure, according to the SD Card specification. (It wasn't clear whether you'd use Windows native volume format tools from your reply, thus my response.)Thank you Godrey!
I'm a PC person so I'll format with that. If that doesn't do it, then I'll consider it bad.
Yes, I haven't seen any issues with 3FR vs FFF. It has been a case of making sure I am getting all that I should with the files that I do have. I am very much just learning Phocus and the processing of the files from the 50c.

The 907x is a lovely camera that takes excellent photos, especially where paired with the outstanding XCD lenses (several of which are remarkably compact for autofocusing medium format lenses). There is no smaller, lighter, or more beautiful and fun (in my opinion) way to shoot medium format with autofocus. The fact that you can use classic Hasselblad 500 series cameras and the relatively inexpensive and numerous manual focus Hasselblad V lenses with the CFV-II-50c back is also really fun, nostalgic, and can take excellent photos.I just found out about the 907X. For those of you that have one, how do you like it? I also see production has ended. Thank you.
As Godfrey noted above, production has only ended on the special "Apollo" edition 907x. The normal chrome edition is being made and shipped now.I just found out about the 907X. For those of you that have one, how do you like it? I also see production has ended. Thank you.
