Dynamic range in action, it's not as surprising for people that have seen what the X1D II can do, but nice to see someone actually testing it. Matt G is not an off-camera flash in-exteriors kind of h guy, so he overlooks the importance of being able to sync the flash without shenanigans above 1/125. But he did mention it and he tries, I believe, to be fair:

Hasselblad X2D coming soon to a divorce near you
- Thread starter onasj
- Start date
Firmware wishlist after shooting the X2D for a couple weeks:
- Implement compatibility with Focus 2 mobile
- Allow auto ISO in M mode. Seriously, it's silly that we don't have the OPTION of turning auto ISO on.
- Improve AF accuracy (as noted in the video review on page 24)
- Often the AF-D-triggered focus is correct but the green focus indicator (in MF mode) does not turn green. Fix, please.
- Eye-detect AF please
- AF-C (continuous AF) please
- Live histogram please
If Hasselblad can implement the above, they will realize the vast majority of the potential of this awesome hardware package. Currently, it's maybe 70% realized, which leaves a lot of applications and photographers unable to take advantage of what the camera could offer.

I need to bring this up again
Just traded my 30 and 45p for a new 2.5/38. Took me some time to think it through. Over time, I am sure I will like the new design at some point. Close focus and a very useful focal length for me finally tipped it over.

Not the only thing he overlooks.
