As a landscape photographer I love this camera. Sure, it's a bit quirky but so is a Ferrari. My images blow just about anything else out of the water and having the best image quality is really what it's all about. If you can't afford one, don't knock the people that can. If you don't like it, don't knock the people that do. There are a lot of things I don't like but at least I have the good sense to keep my mouth shut and not rattle on just to hear myself talk. Great video for anyone that likes this Hasselblad. Even if there are only two of us.

Fascinating stuff, Tony. A nice insight into an iconic brand. Thanks

Thanks for this tutorial. I'm sure that those who have this machine will benefit from this video.

Thanks Tony -- my X1D-II+ 3 lenses is with a courier and your vid gives me a good start.

OMG so close to the ! million Congrats in advance from the UK (: Love your banta keep the videos coming.

Congrats on 1 million subscribers!!!!

Finally you got a hasselblad .

Thanks for great tutorial. Really great to get know my camera

The camera might not be everyone's cup of tea, but thanks for making this video. Someone's buying it, and I'm sure they're very satisfied with it. Your tutorial might have even improved their experience!

nice piece of kit guys respect your DSLR world coming from a 35mm film junkie

I do also looking forward to the X1Dll

Hi tony! non related question to the vid. is there any chance you will cover the Ronin-s by DJI? will

Wow! A 30 minute tutorial for the 2 people who bought this camera!

Your video are cool.

How many people who watch this will actually have this camera?

The autofocus is not slow. It just works differently than your Sony. Regarding flat jpgs. Most pros shoot flat especially in studio. We want a solid image right out of the camera for processing. The images are not flat, they have the beautiful Hasselblad look by default. If you are importing your images into Phocus software, you get some options for color profiles like LR & C1. Hasselblad is designed to do things very well without lots of gizmos. You can successfully shoot wonderful photos handheld. A tripod is usually a better choice because if you own this camera, you are probably shooting in studio or on location for a landscape, etc. Thanks for the review! Cheers.

When’s the x1d II tutorial coming out??

Jeez , that million subs aint far off now. Nice.

Hello and thanks for the videos, do you by any chance give tutorials via zoom? Personalized?

Just found this. Thanks! Used (original) X1D-50C are down to $2,600 on B&H, and with the new pancake lens (35mm full-frame equivalent focal length) it is finally in the price range of a medium Sony setup. The images are as amazing as they ever were.

It seems to be a great camera! :) Is it best for landscapes and still images? I have just a Canon EOS R and at the autofocus selection the eye detection is very useful. Did this Hasselblad camera compensate it somehow? I have seen many other Hasselblad KZfaq videos on this camera and the taken photos were really beautiful!! Are those photos free of editing? Sorry if I was a bit too curious ...

I've had my mark 2 for a year and a half, I finally watched Tony and learned something new...duh.

does this camera have focus stacking or focus bracketing ??? X1D-50c

Give the hassy away for your 1.000.000 subs celebration!!

Thanks, I was wondering how to turn my camera on. Now, how do I have filters enabled like on instagram and snapchat?

how many one hour pictures can you take wil a full charged battery ? :D i ve heard battery is really poor on this camera

I am considering replacing my heavy FujiFilm GFX equipment for the X1D. Is this a wise choice?

how do you format the memory cards ?

This is a very reassuring video. Most people will not be able to afford this camera and after watching the video most people wouldn't want to have it anyway. Thanks Tony

What is the reason for flash not working when using HASSELBLAD V Lens?

Wow, why you used the origin laptop this time?

If I sell my liver and soul to Satan, then maybe I will buy this camera and will need a tutorial.

Step 1) make infinite amount of cash

If price/demographic is obviously not a concern, can we expect a Fuji GFX review/tutorial combo soon?

I 've the 65 mm and I shoot handheld at 1/50 with no shake. I never missed a shot.

Does it bend?

Nice that you did this for all 12 subs who will buy, can actually afford one! :0) Hmmm, I wonder if Karl Taylor is watching this? Since you're doing ritzy cameras, how about the same for Phase One???

FYI, the Yi M1 has a rear screen swipe menu. ..Joe

To be accurate shutter speed can go to 1/10,000s in Electronic Shutter mode.

It's on special at B&H for $6,500. But I think a 45mm f3.5 lens is close to $3,000. But I'll watch the tutorial anyway because I get to here Tony talking to me 😀

Is that a new laptop from origin? Looks like a beast.

I get a small feeling that Tony doesn't like this Hasselblad camera :D

I think the Fuji GFX 50S is the overall better camera compaired to the Hasselblad X-1D50C.

I think this camera is pretty overpriced and slow etc. But I have to admit it has the nicest and most intuitive UI of any camera. It seems odd on a camera for pros. You'd think they'd make more intuitive smartphone-like interfaces on entry level cameras for novices.

Tony! User guide for this and no XH1 😐. How many viewers you think actually own this camera?

Sooo, should I buy a nifty fifty with this or....

999,320 subs, you guys are so close. I'm going to celebrate by buying myself a new lens 📷🤞🎈👴🏽 👵🏽

Why am I watching this? I'll never afford to buy this camera! Like EVER!

Just picked one of these up for $2800

If you have a Hasselblad, you likely won't need a tutorial on how to use it :P

NO AUTO ISO??? What's the point of firmware updates if they can't even fix this?

A tutorial for 2 actual users. How personal of you Tony.

Seems like censors like this one is a big deal to make even today ! like only 3 companies make them in the whole world .it's impressive how small these cameras became though .

Lesson 2 purchase it used for 30% off and never purchase on release date

This camera will start buffering and show a message that the card is too slow. Better use the higher end SDXC-I cards like the Sandisk Extreme Pro, unless you want to be bothered with the warning message each time.

If someone has a camera for $10k, wouldn’t they already know how to use it? Just wondering. But I watched the entire video so there’s that too

Lesson 1: Don't buy an overpriced camera

Why is that expensive camera so dirty

How many user are watching? (Not me but I still watch a little bit

Rather buy a car, thanks...

Your shooting at F3.5 and 0.7 seconds with a 90mm lens...OF COURSE YOUR GOING TO GET CAMERA SHAKE

Yea why not buy a paper weight piece of shxt

Why would anyone buy this camera?

Don’t know why I’m watching this. Don’t have this camera. I guess it’s because of Tony.

You're basically paying 17 grand for a really good interface.

its the price of the lenses that are killing this. $4k for the only fast lens 90mm F1.9 lol get real.

2nd comment

Sooo, basically a landscape camera. Especially with an almost 1/2 second shutter lag.

Step 1: check your return policy and buy a Sony, Nikon or Fujifilm

Did Hasselblad pay you for this?.

Weird camera, i do not need anything but Canon.

Not for me...💸

It's for snobs. Waste of money.

"If you have this camera", good joke.

Step 1: Buy an overly expensive camera. Step 2: Buy the cheapest lens possible, because you spend all that money to buy an overly expensive camera.

I would not buy this camera even if I had the money due to: Slow user interface, 1/2000s shutter speed limit, weird bokeh, slow lenses, lack of buttons for blind use including custom buttons, dynamic range not better than full frame cameras, limited video capabilities such as no 4K, no slo-mo, no steady shot, which is also bad for hand holding, because It will probably result in shaky images if you shoot slower than I guess 1/800s (50 MP remember). Though I like the design of the camera, I can't imagine who would seriously consider buying this. I'd rather buy a D850 or Sony A7R III with good Zeiss prime lenses. I don't get why they put a leaf shutter in there. It makes 3rd party lenses difficult to manufacture, makes even the native lenses more expensive and adapting 3rd party lenses is impossible, limits the shutter speed, results in strange bokeh. I switched many cameras and improved my way from smartphone to 1 inch, to APS-C, now full frame but with the medium format that Hasselblad is giving I can't imagine even considering to upgrade some time in the future. It could have been so much better.

Ditto... No one can afford this over priced goose stepping camera... Your base is saying please, stop it.

Wow.... waisting a half hour video for a camera nobody can buy. I don't think so. I skip this one ;-)

Waste of time and effort making these videos. This video may only apply to 2 people out of all of your subscribers. You could have gotten more views, likes and comments posting a video that applies to the majority of your subscribers. This was a fail. I stopped watching 10 seconds in.
