One not-so-good review of the Hasselblad X1D mirrorless medium format camera

By PR admin | Published: May 29, 2017


The Camera Store videos are pretty much the only YouTube reviews I watch lately. A few days ago they published their Hasselblad X1D mirrorless medium format camera hands-on field test and things do not look very good for Hasselblad. After several delays, a new CEO and a possible acquisition by DJI the X1D is not where we would like it to be. I personally had high hopes for this camera, but after I have seen the results from the Fujifilm GFX 50S camera ($6,499.95 for the Fuji vs. $8,995 for the Hasselblad), I am convinced that Fuji does offer the better solution here.

Photonstophotos report: Sony a9 vs. Nikon D5 vs. Canon 1D X Mark II

By PR admin | Published: May 28, 2017


Photonstophotos published their Sony a9 test results with some comparison data from the Canon 1D X Mark II and Nikon D5 cameras:

Photonstophotos updated their Sony a9 results with final data and it performs very well against its competitors up till 3200 ISO, where the Nikon D5 just edges it out. It’s good to see that the electronic shutter of the Sony a9 doesn’t affect the dynamic range of the a9 much according to Photonstophotos’ results. The Sony a9, beats the Canon 1D X Mark II across the board, but falls just behind the Nikon D5 in low light, while besting it in maximum dynamic range. (SonyAddict)

Camera Model ▾ Maximum
PDR		 Low Light
ISO		 Low Light
EV
Sony ILCE-9 10.47 6612 11.05
Sony ILCE-9(ES) 10.64 5709 10.84
Nikon D5 9.42 7178 11.17
Canon EOS 1D X Mark II 10.46 5189 10.70
