I just recently bought a gfx 50r, and I have had an x1d for a while now.
I love my x1d but I'm growing hesitant at the silence from Hasselblad.
It just seems like fuji seems the go to for small medium format cameras. The gfx 50r is much more functional than the x1d.
But I hate using it. After using the x1d for so long it feels so big.
I wish Hasselblad would make an announcement or something so I know which route to take.
But nice to see fuji thinking out of the box.
Many of us are definitely itching to see what's next from Hasselblad. I looked at it one time, and many of their major recent announcements for bodies, from the H5 to the X1D, happened in the March-July time frame, so we probably don't have to wait much longer.
I don't think you're the only worried about the "silence" from Hasselblad, and I don't think its in their best interest to keep things under wraps too much longer. Then again, Hasselblad is in a no-win scenario where people are growing weary of their silence, but people are also growing weary of their announcements without products shipping (see the 35-75mm XCD zoom for example, which was announced in Feb of 2017 and again in Nov 2017).
They need to find some sort of sweet spot between announcing products and getting them shipped. I personally love my X1D, but a new camera announcement does not mean much to me if it will take them 6-12 months to actually ship it after they announce it. People also still view the X1D as buggy, and I think they really need to take their time and get this one right out of the box. I haven't really had any issues other than the scroll wheels, which were replaced under warranty, but not everyone has had my experience. The X is a great platform, and the new IMX461 100mp sensor should be awesome. With the two of those combined, and some usability tweaks and feature improvement, they really should have a winner on their hands....hopefully they deliver.
And if they don't...it's nice to see Fuji doing some neat things in the MF space too. The new 100-200mm GF is something I wish the Hasselblad X had. I'm with you though, I just don't really enjoy the Fuji's in use, although I know I could get what I need out of a GFX. I have a X-E3 and my wife has an X-T1. They're capable cameras but frustrate me in use to no end.
Hasselblad had a neat concept back in 2016 (I think) with the V1D, so they are definitely capable of thinking outside the box a bit too. Would be great to see some of these concepts come to life. More options = better for all of us.
