Joe knowing you, no one has to wake you up. If anyone is capable of getting one before most anyone else, its you.
. Forget the chicken in every pot, an XiD in everyones hands will do nicely...LOL.
As a fellow Englishman I endorse this use of the English language :thumbs::ROTFL:
I was told the same thing. Also, continuous AF is not yet active. The rep told me that they are still finalizing that.
Thanks!
I did not see any way to change the AF point from the center at PPE. There is also no way to select the 1:1 or 16:9 ratios either - that also seems to be coming in firmware updates. There also seemed to be a pretty long blackout period after taking a photo - hopefully that will become snappier too. I also tried the 30mm, which will probably be my favorite lens for the system.
By the way, they said the 30mm lens should be shipping around a month after the 45mm and 90mm.
Were you able to pry any information from the Hasselblad reps about the next lenses to be released and when?
Good question: I didn't see a way to do that but only had the camera for a couple of minutes so it's very possible that I just missed it.
No- I just heard the same quote about several lenses being released next year but no details.
Well I ordered my x1d the day it was announced and as soon as it was available for order on bhphoto.I'm bored... no sign of delivery at all
Firmware is approaching final shipping levels and shipping to customers should start in two to three weeks... should...
I wonder if the firmware version will be any different than the demo unit I recently tested (and posted in the other Getdpi thread).
I would hope so! My expectation is that we will see a string of firmware upgrades over time even after the X1D ships, adding new features and "optimizing" performance(e.g., start up time, AF performance, battery life). As for improving the performance of the EVF, my guess is that some improvements are possible.
One would think after many promises of hopeful shipping dates missed that the latest rumor of December is correct! Eventually one date of record will be. I was inquiring about my H6 order last Friday and was told sooner then later...very closed lips as to the issues with Hasselblad and them shipping product. The was this comment though when I said Hasselblad must be difficult to deal with lately he said you have no idea, that's putting it mildly. From the look on his face I sure he meant he was promised delivery many times and told customers more than twice of expected delivery (me included) and he has now learned his lesson.
