It looks like they just announced both, based on the 44x33mm 50mPixel sensor and the XCD lenses. I find the updated CFV back, new modular body, and compatibility with both V system and XCD series lenses more compelling than the X1D in concept ... It's what I expect out of Hasselblad. Whether and when I buy in ... that's a mystery at present. One thing's for sure: my Hasselblad V system—500CM, A12 backs, four lenses, finders, etc etc—is not for sale.I guess we will soon know whether Hasselblad will be releasing X1D MkII or a V1D, but seriously, camera companies should think outside the box. Someone should make a small square sensor digital, e.g. 22x22, or 24x24, which would mean full frame lens would already cover it, and make a mini-Hassy-V. From SWC-wide to telephoto....
And now back to my "mini-digital SWC" joy... Answering the question, "What's the first thing I did after opening the Voigtländer 10mm box...?"
Having too much fun to take much seriously ...
