so what are the reasons to go from an X1D to and X1DII?
I'm eager to see videos of CFVii-50c focus peeking in action ... btw wouldn't an external EVF be possible on such system ?
I want (and expected} the new Sony 100MP sensor in a small package with a state of the art EVF. And I would have been willing to pay the premium to purchase it. I am left wondering if Hasselblad ran into major engineering issues trying to incorporate the new Sony 100MP sensor into the existing X1D body. Heat issues? Battery issues? Physical room for upgraded componentry?OK, boys and girls: what's the situation?
You want 50MP in a small package? You have the X1D I or II
You want 50MP in a medium package? You have the GFX 50S/R
You want 100MP in a large package? You have the GFX 100
You want 150MP in a larger package? You have Phase One.
You want a digital SWC, now you have one - the tilt screen gets you something the X1D with 21mm can't deliver.
You want to use Leica S glass? You'll probably get an update of > 60MP.
I see nothing to complain about here. If you can't get spectacular world class results from these options, the problem isn't the equipment.

My bet is that it was engineered to a price pointI want (and expected} the new Sony 100MP sensor in a small package with a state of the art EVF.

As both the original and the new CFV 50c fit V bodies it's likely that the old one will "mechanically" fit the 907x. But V bodies transmit the shutter released "information" (to the back) via a mechanical "lever", I doubt that the 907x works the same! ;-)I also wonder if the old CFV will be usable on the 907x body...though knowing H, backward compatibility is probably not a feature.
Not many reasons to upgrade unless you have been concerned about responsiveness .. However ....if you were on the fence between a Fuji 50R and the X1D ....the new price is very competitive . So I believe this will continue to attract NEW buyers to Hasselblad . And new customers will need a few lenses .so what are the reasons to go from an X1D to and X1DII?
It should attach with the (hopefully still) available V rear adapter plate. Note that until recently, there were MFDBs on the market sold in the V mount, with some still floating around on the used market. Hopefully/presumably the new back has the electronic shutter feature.Does anyone have any clue how the new CFV back attaches to a tech camera and specifically the Arca Swiss rm3di; also is it compatible with a wide angle lens on a tech camera

I imagine since it's compatible with V-system bodies, all you need is the Arca V-system adapter plate (https://www.digitalback.com/product/arca-swiss-adapter-plates/)?Does anyone have any clue how the new CFV back attaches to a tech camera and specifically the Arca Swiss rm3di; also is it compatible with a wide angle lens on a tech camera

Interesting product positioning ..they went for lower cost instead of trying to justify a large premium . My bet is this will be a good product strategy for Hasselblad .
I really dislike the 50R because the ergonomics don't work for me (brick-like grip and tether via the bottom? no thanks), and the AF is really substandard..
Substandard AF ?:ROTFL:
