IkarusJohn Posted February 12, 2019 Share #2421 Posted February 12, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) Sounds plausible. If I was in the market for medium format, I'd seriously consider the 100MP version; but then I am overstocked in 35mm format and hardly have the time to use what I have ...

Advertisement Posted February 12, 2019 Posted February 12, 2019 Hi IkarusJohn, Take a look here Leica SL or Hasselblad X1D. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!

Belle123 Posted February 13, 2019 Share #2424 Posted February 13, 2019 If a new X1d or whatever it turns out to be from Hasselblad is coming, don’t get your hopes up to get one for over a year or more, even after announced. I wouldn’t be selling mine anytime soon in hopes of replacing with new and improved. It is though very odd to just drop it from production without announcing a replacement. It is still a very new camera. Very strange news. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff S Posted February 13, 2019 Share #2425 Posted February 13, 2019 There’s no official news that anything has been dropped from production, only that certain retailers are currently discontinuing stock. Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaemono Posted February 13, 2019 Share #2426 Posted February 13, 2019 Coming back to the original question, that’s an easy one, SL, of course, because the X1D is discontinued. 🤣 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This might take a few more months. I'd prefer option #1 with a 75MP sensor. That would be perfect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaemono Posted February 14, 2019 Share #2431 Posted February 14, 2019 It’s a bit of a strategic blunder to allow a major retailer to list a product as discontinued without having announced a follow up product first. It makes user nervous for sure. Let’s see if the manufacturer of unmanned flying vehicles supports the X1D roadmap or thinks given where Fuji set the price point that it’s economically not viable. My guess is that the X1D is burning cash. Maybe Vieri can shed some light. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff But but but, the x2d hasn’t been ‘officially’ announced. However, no doubt somebody will keep it going. I hadn’t been up here for a year or more and surprised, well actually not surprised really, same people keeping it going! 😉. Why is that? Totally different cameras. No real comparison.

Chaemono Posted February 14, 2019 Share #2436 Posted February 14, 2019 No, but I just heard that the SL2 is supposed to have a very realistic EVF, almost like an OVF I was told. They are sourcing it from the same supplier as Panasonic does, there is basically one company in the world that makes the best, but Leica went for a more expensive version. Faster WiFi, too. 😀 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

caissa Posted February 15, 2019 Share #2438 Posted February 15, 2019 (edited) This thread is only ridiculous. It is not related to SL users anymore. Only a few X1D fans keep it going. That's fine for them, but why not move it into another category (Barnack's Bar or similar). And about the EVF of the S1/R. Let's simply do a fact check, before anymore fuss is written about it. Everybody with reading skills can find in the web, that it has 5.76 megadots. Which is more than any other EVF currently built in any system. (And sony is far away from that, just as the X1D).

caissa Posted February 15, 2019 Share #2439 Posted February 15, 2019 To the forum keeper: Why not open a new category "Other Gear", where threads for Hasselblad, Fuji, Sony, Canon, Nikon, etc. can be placed ? It will be interesting to see what happens there (hints, images, etc.) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
