Hi,
Here we come again. This time is different: When he tested the H6D he shoot the MF system himself and he is a dude that can't make the sigma 135mm art to work[1] . Not exactly the best to deal with MF quirks etc. He also admitted in a posterior video that he fas a feud with Hasselblad. In this location is different, he did give Phase One all the chances he could with a single exception:
1. All the pictures were processed using Capture One.
2. A Phase One expert shoot the P1 system.
3. This is the mistake: he compared the images at 100%, not at the same resolution.
4. He did not go into flash sync and the like, or the ability to use film etc. This is just for Architectural Photography.

I will say that his conclusions are interesting. MF has a lot to do. The days of using german sounding names and believing that was enough are gone. People are doing an actual comparison, I insist the "Häagen-Dazs" marketing trick is not enough. It's true that mirrorless is needed. Super high-resolution cameras demand almost perfect focus. Having the focusing system on the chip is far better than trying to align components. I do love the H series viewfinder. I remember the day, years ago, that I used for the first time the H4D and the 100mm f2.2, the details, the luminosity, a revelation. MF guys need to work a lot. Mainstream FF cameras are now including multishot, a technology that was the staple of MF a few years ago. And we don't have a H6D-400MS and I don't know if it will even make sense with the current Hasselblad glass.
The X1D and the Fuji are the path of the future[2]. I am eager to see P1 big sensor mirrorless. Not only is not all lost, but I believe that is a fantastic time for MF.
