Hasselblad X1D II Review
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 лют 2025
- Hasseblad generously sent me the X1D II, a medium format digital camera, to use for a few weeks. I was able to take this camera on a trip to Texas as well as shoot around my home in Tennessee. Near the end of the video you can hear my unfiltered thoughts on what I like and did not like about this camera. Hope you guys enjoy!

The shutter sounds like my stapler but your photos do be looking good tho
How did you and Corey meet? 🔥
lol, I was going to say thats exactly what it sounds like a stapler, im not too keen on it though. Digital cameras arent bad but the prices are. Its so expensive even for lower end stuff. Makes me glad i invested in continuing film photography. I can get a hell of a lot more camera for the same money.
@@pilsplease7561 doesn't film get expensive too though? I've been shooting mirrorless for a while and the way I see it digital has a high price of entry but once you have some gear you can shoot effectively infinitely for free. With film, being that it's older stuff it's less expensive off the bat generally (depends of course on the camera) but then film and developing and stuff adds up over time and is recurring... Just got a Canon AE1 and am enjoying it immensely but worried about money 😅
@@MrSwaggernaut83 nah it's cheap, less than digital.
@@MrSwaggernaut83 digital kind of works like that but I could get more film photos that are useful for the price of one good digital camera that immediately produces inferior images
What are Lou's low light capabilities?
alright dude, you made me chuckle a bit when you inserted your "fresh roll" lmaoooo
just thinking how many RZs I could buy with that dollar 🥵
one
Four, plus film, and processing with scanning, and a v850 or even a used Imacon.
As of now about two RZ’s, several lenses, finders and a scanner. Next week, probably one since the RZ are becoming more expensive.

Quality of these videos keeps getting better man, loving it 👍
What you didn’t test was the manual focus capabilities. It took me a week or two of usage to realize that the manual focus is really the only way to use the X1D. It feels like a more authentic camera experience, is whisper quiet, and is super easy. You have to get used to the focus peaking for quick usage and mapping a button to the quick zoom for tack sharp focus. But, you will be super happy with the experience.
What kind of film can I put in one of these? I'm confused
@@pathehe9182 digital film? Cool, thanks

Digital Portra 400
@@michaelsaks4744 Ah excellent. I want my digital film to have a good ISO
The new film is called a SanDisk 64gb bro! It's the newest film that has 100 available frames !
I love how corey always seems to stand somewhere scenic for his intros
Love the photos you made around your home in this review. Beautiful! The person who is holding the camera matters most. I actually bought one of these recently, used from B&H, together with the new 45mm F/4 P lens. That lens amazingly makes even better images across the entire frame in every way, focuses pretty fast, and costs "only" $1,050. I'll mention since it bothered Willem, the new 45mm is much quieter. (It no longer sounds like his stapler.)
I own and shoot a Hasselblad 500CM, and it is absolutely amazing. These digital photos are stunning! A true testament to the quality that Hasselblad brings
We need a photoshoot with Lou, please!
Bird: hey hensom boi pwit pwit pwit
You: im gonna Kill this bird
Bird: oh shit
that zoom on the hand... holy moly
Love the green i this video. Its just beautiful how the Grass looks
Beautiful farm man. Nice review as well. Hasselblad's legendary. When the world's back to normal, if you ever have the chance to hit Sweden, you have a fellow Americano in Stockholm to hit up and go out shooting with. Bring ear plugs in spring/summer because birds basically never sleep bc sun never sets. Holla.
Dude, your noises are far better than mine. Construction site across the road, sirens, crows.. I usually just shut the window and power through nowadays.The birds didn't bother me one bit tbh.
At least it's one in a thousand year to see him with different camera(s), beside those Mamiya 7 or RB&RZ67
spent rewatching the vid 5 times only for Lou.
I think this camera was built for studio and landscapes, so quick focus isn't so important
Corey, if possible, try to review the Fuji gfx 50r. I would like to know your impressions about this camera.
That shutter sound is wild.
Dream camera! nice review, thanks
Your shots and videos are always so good! Have you ever considered uploading in 4K to reduce UA-cam's compression on your video?
i second this, your video quality is already good but 4k will really make those shoots go from a 10/10 to an 11 easy! great video !
Hey guys, I'm not sure if it's possible, maybe it is! I can ask my buddy who makes my videos if it's something y'all think would really make a difference for you!
Corey Wolfenbarger yeah! Even if the main video pickups are 1080p, having the file rendered out in 4K will give you a much higher bit rate and make the photos clearer!
Thank you so much!
@@coreywolfenbarger8992 Hi there, any updates regarding 4k?
Your music track gets in the way of your session. At one point, with the music blaring away, you write "This is what the shutter actually sounds like." Need I say more!
Hey, what about battery? I can not find this info anywhere, but one article tell about 150-200 shoots with 1 battery. What you can tell about it? I have enjoied your video. All these coutryside sounds and views make video realy nice =)
Love the birds!
I love the birds, bro hahaha nice video, tks!
Did you tryout xpan mode?
Bokeh, I think you mean Brokeh at that price😅
Yo what’s the name of that track at the beginning? It’s a bop 😌
My conclusion from watching this video is that I need to live on a farm.
Ooooh...I had the original X1D which was good, not great, but buggy as hell. I ended up selling that which broke my heart as the ergonomics were unmatched. Last week I was in the market to pull the trigger for the updated X1D ii but for once my head won over my heart and I went for the Fujifilm GFX 50R and their 50mm f3.5mm lens. I still prefer the feel and look of the Hasselblad but I have to be honest and say that GFX 50R is a lot quicker, more reliable and, personally speaking, fun to shoot.
This is some good information. Unfortunately, it's impossible to get your mind completely wrapped around a system and form an opinion in just a few weeks, but it was fun to use. Thanks for the comment!
does it have a program mode?
Great video man
Nooby scooby, you know how to use that lens hood?
"if we get stampeded,,, thank you for all the support in this channel"
Honestly it looks like such a dope camera, but it’s just so expensive!
1:47"Hasselblad is known for their lenses" hmmm didn't know about that.
Aaaand suddenly I'm into digital and I need this camera.
I'm glad to see you shoot digital. You have been really inspiring and I have uploaded few videos recently in my photography based channel. Give it a watch sometime!
The high initial cost of this camera and lens is offset by how much money it makes you through being a working professional photographer. That's who Hasselblads are for, for the most part, all be it this is their entry level system.
I own a Fuji GFX 50S and it has the exact same horrendous autofocus issues. For such an expensive camera, you'd think we could get a decent AF system.
I think you should review the Fujifilm GFX 100 next
when u stare stoically into the distance u look like ur a character from mob psycho
Evan's a real one.
I came here for the Lou specs
You can’t compare this camera with a Canon 5D or a Nikon D850! This is a completely different kind of camera. All technical constructions are compromises and when it comes to picture quality it’s nearly no compromises at all and the lenses are The best on the market what so ever! This is a cheap camera/lens combo if you are interested in picture quality. If you are more interested in shooting sports or birds you choose a Canon, Nikon or Sony with much lesser image quality (even if many thinks it’s good enough). As you can’t compare a RollsRoyce with a Volkswagen you can’t compare a Hasselblad with anything else but PhaseOne for instance!
Hey Gustav, totally get that. I just don't have experience with every digital camera system obviously, so I referenced what I was familiar with! Thanks for the comment! :)
Corey Wolfenbarger Ok I see. What you could compare X1D to maybe is an ordinary Leica which is about the same price. Still there are hugh differences because of the sensor quality and even lens qualities in favour of Hasselblad. You did show nice pictures but what you also could do maybe is to explain what in the pictures make the pictures so good. There are much more than sharpness you know ... Otherwise you have a nice aproach, Thanks!
U know its scary when ur mad at those sounds 😂
This is so odd, I was just watching Willem shoot the $32,000 Hasselblad (an older video) and now you post you shooting a Hasselblad the next day
That 45mm lens cost just as much as my old car!
Hasselblad lenses has leaf shutter internal shutter mek that's why the sound and the price is so high i shoot Fuji gfx but love hassy.s
Man you and Willem sportin the same cons bruh
Corey looks like the guy from my all American movie his from the movie lol I swear!
In defense of the Auto focus issue, it's a freaking Medium Format camera! MF cameras are not known for their fast AF. These cameras are really targeted at people that want that MF look but my problem with this camera and GFX is that they are still smaller than 645.
Looks like the autofocus got better. Looks usable at least now
That lens vignettes quite a bit.
I love my X1D make 1...
It's a good day if someone even lets me hold a Hasselblad.

*bring your own Hasselblad x1D
You looks likr or at least remind me of the singer Greyson Chance
Great camera but 😂 that price crazy
What, digital?
Why not?
The AF on the X1DII is as bad as it is on the H6D -- it is NOT a DSLR. It is built for quality not for action. No pro shooter has had any complaints over this camera.
H6D50C - 35k X1DII - 6k. XCD lenses 3-5k, HC lenses +50%.
You provided NO reviews or comparisons of the image -vs- any other camera you own. Put it up against your Canon. I did -vs- the Nikon D850 and the X1DII images were so so much better, within normal shooting parameters and mid to good light. DXOMark scored the sensor the highest by far of any sensor they have tested. The point of this 10k system is to make great images - and it delivers.
The camera has a leaf shutter (in the lens) - this is why is makes the noise it does. Your DSLR makes the sound of a gun. X1DII also has an electronic shutter and can shoot entirely silent.
Max fps is about 2.7 fps -- which is fast enough for studio, portrait, wedding, landscape etc...
If you want 14//16/20 fps then you need to go with a top brand pro body D6, cannon or sony -- then you are into 7k for the body + lenses.
Kinda lacking that sweet latitude tho *post by film gang
1:48 yes, known for their lenses.The lenses made for them by Carl Zeiss...
Don't be to hard on the autofocus this is a medium format camera not 35mm like the 5D. Any medium format cameras with AF is slow.
Had to laugh at that bird 😂
Almost all medium format digital cameras have trash autofocus. IDK why that's just what I've always seen and heard.
Except the GFX100 that thing felt like a fuji xt-3 autofocus wise.
It's Fuji.
What.
It's Sony
😳👀
WHO NEEDS A HEALTHY KIDNEY FROM AN 18 YEAR OLD ASIAN DUDE? HMU ASAP! I NEED TO BUY SOMETHING PS. NOT THAT X1D
Hasselblad probably have a reason for the slow auto focus. You should ask them. Price.....I thought you were going to say $22,000 for the body, so I was pleasantly surprised.
When you're interrupted by a 🐦 on a farm and it's embarrassing you, you have no right to live on the farm or probably on the Planet.
The disconnect you have with your environment is a great example of one of Humanities biggest problems. How about we all try to look at ourselves, and I don't mean a selfie 🤳
Obviously this guy is clueless when it comes to medium format cameras. He really has no business reviewing this camera.
Hasselblads were iconic when they were an independent, Swedish company. It’s just overpriced DJI Chinese junk now.
Dji just got wrecked in a case that banned the sales of all of the drones they make in the US. Hasselblad needs to just walk away from dji and go back to being independent. I hope that the pandemic kills DJI.
