Bloomberg posted a full X1D review written by Photographer Keith E. Morrison:

For your general photo enthusiast, the price tag still may put the camera out of reach. But for any pro who shoots an array of subject matter, this may be a worthy long-term investment to make. My Mamiya 7 could officially have some competition for the title of favorite camera if AF points were expanded a bit and the battery life were extended. The camera is an extremely lightweight and versatile piece of tech that further challenges the idea of where and when digital medium format should be used.

NX500 Rolling Shutter with 2.5K Hack from Geoff Bassett on Vimeo.

Geoff Basset shared this video showing the Rolling SHutter ont he hacked 2.5K Samsung NX500. It’s really pity Samsung is out of the camera business. They had developed a wonderful sensor!

MR reader Karol noticed that the Hasselblad X1D with the 45mm kit lens fits perfectly inside the Pentax 645D body. Both camera have the same Sony 51,4MP sensor. Quite impressive to see what Hasselblad has done here!

Matt Granger posted that Hasselblad X1D-50c hands-on video. The last days we covered a lot of Fuji GFX news but we have to mention some of the strengths of the Hasselblad camera compared to the Fuji:

1. It’s available now while the GFX will be available in no less than six months (or maybe more)
2. The X1D-50c is a bit more compact than the Fuji
3. The Hasselblad lenses do have leaf shutter
4. The Hasselblad  goes up to 25,600 ISO (1 stop more than the Fuji)
5. That’s personal: Without having used the respective menus it looks like the Hasselblad menu is…nicer
