Hasselblad X1D review

A mirrorless medium format game-changer

Stunning image quality ; Beautiful finish ; Very compact ; Streamlined handling ; Excellent (if limited) lenses

Moderately low-res display ; Some handling quirks ; Slow start-up time

The X1D demands a little more care and time than the average camera, but it's worth it, as you'll be rewarded with spectacular images.

Hasselblad X1D-50c Review

The Hasselblad X1D-50c is the world's first medium format mirrorless camera. Its image quality is outstanding, but it's slow and the EVF leaves something to be desired.
