If you measure by actual shipping time (rather than announcement time) many of these were 9-18 months ahead of the competition. In the case of 80mp it was 5+ years (from when they launched the IQ180 to when Hasselblad finally shipped their 100mp.Oh please. Most of these are only trivial firsts, and by a small margin of time.
I'm not sure generalizing from the industrial line to the general-purpose line is entirely reasonable. Shutter speeds on the A6D go up to 1/4000 (https://www.hasselblad.com/a6d/), but that doesn't seem to have trickled down the H-series. At least not yet.Hi,
- Lead shutter a little bit better than the H6D 1/2500 vs 1/2000
- Storage a little bit better than the H6D XQD instead of CFAST
- Connectivity as good as the H6D USB-C
Given that the X1D and GFX have been shipping for a year now, that makes Phase One significantly behind the competition?If you measure by actual shipping time (rather than announcement time) many of these were 9-18 months ahead of the competition.

I guess in the grand scheme of things even a few decades is a small margin of time. But in terms of product cycles they are often quite significantly ahead of the competition.
I would say that the last three inventions were actually coming from Sony...- First to MF CMOS*
- First to 100mp
- First to MF BSI
To quote myself from LL...
Then post a link to the announcement. I think that is just someone making stuff up.Someone in another forum wrote that Sony has announced to lower production on
these new sensors and raise prices accordingly??
Re a mirrorless larger-than-35mm camera, one of three things must be true:Given that the X1D and GFX have been shipping for a year now, that makes Phase One significantly behind the competition?
Given the Phase One history with the DF camera platform, C is very possible.Re a mirrorless larger-than-35mm camera, one of three things must be true:
A) Phase One has decided not to participate in that market segment
B) Phase One has decided to participate in that market segment, but not yet (e.g. waiting for a type of technology to arrive or mature)
C) Phase One has decided to participate in that market segment now, but have failed to execute (e.g. couldn't figure out how to do it or ran into R+D or production issues)
Based on Phase One's strong track record on product releases and technological leads, I personally do not find (C) a likely explanation. But I'm biased, and could be wrong!
Regardless, Hasselblad deserves props for being first to ship a camera in that segment.
Or D. Such a product is still under development. It took several years for the XF development before it reached the market.Given the Phase One history with the DF camera platform, C is very possible.
