It will have an e-shutter? I am guessing and can attach xcd lenses. And probably the new interface.Wasn't there already a CFV 50C I? How is the new back different?
The battery is now integrated into the back of the CFV-50c II, whereas with the 1 is hung off the bottom like a wart. IMHO it's a pretty big deal for tech cam users, and 500 series users as now the back no longer has a battery hanging off the bottom.Wasn't there already a CFV 50C I? How is the new back different?
I do love the looks of that camera, and the back would be perfection if it had a BSI sensor. As it stands, I get better results from my 50MP CCD back than the first gen CMOS sensors on my tech lenses, even though I have to resort to ground glass for focusing.Tilt screen, touch control, and the ability to mate with the 907X and use 20mm XCD to have a SWC ;-)

I plan to use the GFX 100 on a camera stand most of the time, so the IBIS is unimportant to me. But for handheld photography without IBIS, if you can handhold a shot at, say, 1/250 second to your satisfaction with a 50 MP 33x44 mm sensor, you'll see the same pixel-level motion blur at 1/(250*sqrt(2)) = 1/350 second all else equal with a 100MP sensor of the same size.Understood. But choosing a 100MP camera (over a 50MP alternative) isn't about "the same print size". If you're printing 8x10" glossies for weddings, for example, even a 50MP camera is overkill. Likewise, displaying images on a website or in online forums doesn't require 50 or 100MP. But if one is shooting with a 100MP or 150MP device for end uses that require 100MP or 150MP, at the pixel level, camera movement makes a difference given the same sensor size. It's simple physics. IBIS helps considerably and I would welcome it.
Near as I can tell, the CFV II 50 and the 907X together weigh almost exactly the same as the X1D. While the handgrip will add something, it's a surprisingly light package!Tilt screen, touch control, and the ability to mate with the 907X and use 20mm XCD to have a SWC ;-)

Not saying that Hasselblad is lightning fast with new releases, but, FYI the GFX 50R was released November 2018, 7 months ago...This camera should have been released with the GFX 50R, not 2 years after the 50R.
That'd be sad if it were true.Fujifilm has no competition.
its actually the the 110 thats slow...the other lenses are fineYes, I tried it with the 110/2, and found it to be slow and tentative compared to either my H4D or A7R III. This has been echoed in a number of reviews online. But I'm sure it's fine for other uses, it seems like an awesome landscape camera.
I take Darr to mean that Fujifilm has no competitor product in the same space as Hasselblad ~_o They have different products.That'd be sad if it were true.
For those who want what Fuji sells, you are correct. For those who don't, you are incorrect. The world of photographers is filled with people with vastly different priorities from one another. Personally, I like it that way. Others, not so much. They find it threatening, I guess because they aren't comfortable with their own choices.Fujifilm has no competition.
I think I like this, but I am not sure. :ROTFL:
Hmm, let me see. <checks bag and insurance schedule; finds no Fuji products> Yes, that’s hilarious.Fujifilm has no competition.
Where have I seen that before??Tilt screen, touch control, and the ability to mate with the 907X and use 20mm XCD to have a SWC ;-)

Who makes a medium format camera that weighs 5 lbs with 3 lenses?Who makes a medium format camera with IBIS?
Who makes a 100 megapixel mirrorless camera?
Fujifilm has no competition.
I own a couple of Hasselblad systems and a CFV50c back.
I want to see Hasselblad succeed, but I am disappointed in their medium format mirrorless offerings when I see what else is out there.
I am disappointed in their new back -- a larger screen and its flippy -- not a game changer in my book; the same sensor.
Like all things in the new age of Hasselblad, I wait patiently and keep my fingers crossed.
