i didnt want to hijack the x2d vs S3 thread with off topic questions.
do you guys use cf express card or just the internal storage? Any idea how many images have place on 128gb?
I save to both. The SSD keeps everything. I delete bad or test images from the CF. Burning through a 128GB card is a strange concept, yet here we are.i didnt want to hijack the x2d vs S3 thread with off topic questions.

Yep, it works. You can choose 2 frames.X2D Exposure Bracketing pre purchase question.
Is it possible to set a 2 frame exposure bracket on the X2D? The manual doesn't say. I believe you can on the H6D. I would be trying to mimic the IQ4 150's DualExposure+ with processing in post.
Steve,In my experience, escaping negative ramifications from rainy conditions for devices that are not-weather proofed or have unknown weather resistant properties is a random event.

Steve,
I would certainly not have tried this if not for Hassy’s repeated use of vague “weather resistant” terms. There are lots of o-ring seals in the correct locations.
I took the Leica S out in snowstorms because they held it under running water in an early promotional video.
So how do we find the true weather sealing of the X2D?
Best,
Matt
Steve,Right, exactly. There's vague-ness there. Generally, if I don't see strong marketing behind weather sealing from a manufacturer, I recommend caution (actually, I recommend caution anyway). And my random adjective is how I think of results from shooting in the rain, as I have had clients who have had Phase One cameras exposed to quite a bit of rain and been fine, and others who were just barely exposed and total loss.
How to find the weather sealing in the absence of a formal statement from the manufacturer is a challenge, though I recall Roger Cicala from Lensrentals some years back broke down a Fuji GFX 100 that was supposedly fully weather sealed, and found it almost was.

Hi, Steve. Happy New Year. That's been my exact experience with an X1DII. I have always been careful to try to protect my X1DII when shooting in rain and snow, usually using a clear, disposable, plastic hairnet to cover the camera body. And, I do a lot of shooting in Vermont and Iceland in terrible weather. However, having never run into a problem, I was shooting in Vermont in a heavy wet snowstorm a couple of years ago and didn't bother to use anything to cover the camera, the camera became covered with snow, and the next thing I knew the camera was functioning strangely. The green status light on the LCD screen stayed on even after I tried to shut the camera down. I sent the camera body into Hasselblad in NJ and they repaired it within a week. It needed a new "Monitor Module". Total cost was $897. I believe that water had somehow leaked into the top of the LCD screen and caused some damage. I'm back to being very careful.In my experience, escaping negative ramifications from rainy conditions for devices that are not-weather proofed or have unknown weather resistant properties is a random event.
