@@WILMORENO Oh yeah man that's 100% your problem, Adobe and Fuji have never played well together. Fuji partners with Capture One and all of the film sims are inside capture one as well as Capture One's Pro Standard profile that they manually create for each camera which IMO is some of the best color you can get out of any camera especially on the GFX files. Adobe is cheap and refuses to work with brands so they keep things proprietary. No one even the camera manufacturers know what happens under the hood of Adobe's raw processing. Adobe just guesses at their profiles which ends up being a complete mess. Not to mention Adobe's raw processing is extremely outdated. It would be too much work to overhaul it since it's integrated into so many things so they haven't fundamentally changed it for years. Unfortunately there's still some bad blood between Capture One and Hasselblad because Capture One used to be owned by Phase One which was one of Hasselblad's main competitors. That's okay with me though because Hasselblad is about done. DJI has driven them into the ground. It's not the same company it was before the acquisition. Most of the pros that were shooting with the H6 have left and their customer service and support is now horrible. I was always thinking my end game would be Hasselblad but DJI ruined that which is super sad. Fuji is a much better company that actually stands behind their products.
@@NickDelDuca damn that all makes sense. also fuji at least replied to my posts when I tagged them on ig lol. I'm pretty sure hasselblad hates me. But, I love this camera and hopefully it'll be supported for a very long time. I really don't want to change systems again
@@WILMORENO Who knows, A lot of people speculate that DJI just bought Hasselblad for some of their lens patents they wanted to use for their inspire drones and don't really care about continuing making cameras. They really screwed over H6D-50C owners because they refuse to do a new run of the 50C backs and they have a high failure rate. So lots of photographers have expensive bricks now. I've also heard wild rumors that DJI is planning on using the Hasselblad brand to enter the full frame market and compete with Sony but with as much as they have been neglecting support of current products I don't see that being the case. Hopefully you don't have any issues with your X2D, I've heard repairs have a 6+ month turnaround and people get their cameras back still broken.
@NickDelDuca im not much into drones but i heard theyre getting heavily regulated. Like some areas law enforcement can override a persons drone signal. Im definitely not a fan of how all the new v lenses are still out of stock. But im pretty much set for now. Thanks for the information
Man, I was about to pull the trigger on the hasselblad…. And then I realized you can’t use capture one… WTF!! What do you use? This is killing my whole plan
@petrolabkilla I've been using Lightroom for the past 10 years. Stuck in my ways now. I've never even tried to capture one before. I know its been an issue for many. The fuji isnt bad. At least w.fuji you'll have generally better focus. Fwiw i still pick up my x2d just to hold it. Love this camera
The X2D is my favorite camera ever. I tested everything worth trying. It's a little slow and a little heavy but it's a dream to own. And the photos have a certain X factor that keeps me wanting to use it. Thanks!
It's up to the user. I went BACK to the X2D after using the GFX100II for a while. I like the build of the hasselblad better. I generally get better colors in the x2d as well. i wish hasselblad had a 110 f2 lens like that fuji. It's a toss up. I personally like the X2D better.
I've been considering between the gfx 100sii and the x2d. I haven't held tried the x2d yet but I just tried the gfx100sii in store and it didn't feel right.
Sorry man... you love yourself too much. I came for a camera review and I learned way too much about how cool you think you are. Stick to the review, or rename your video "all about my armwrestling tournament and fitness store shopping, and a bit about the X2D Too"!!
@@WILMORENO if you want any more information, it's available on the web. It's the same sensor and the readout times are better on the Fuji. Now with the gfxs ii it's not even a close comparison with the x2d. The one thing the Hass does have over the Fuji system is the leaf lenses so conceivably, if you needed to synch and really high speeds, you could. I can point you to some good learning material if you need
Well congrats on having the guts to make a clear statement on the comparative image quality of these two cameras. That is much appreciated, and in line with a favorite pro photographer of mine, Gavin Newcastle aka Fototripper.
Hey man, you're totally right. This one kinda got away from me. I had a perfect take but a wardrobe malfunction that was super distracting. That led me into a million other takes, and it got a little messy. Thanks for watching. X2D is a beauty. And my back aches like a 40 yr olds!
Definitely underwhelming quality control. I'll probably never get sent their newest stuff to review because of my transparency. maybe I should've rethought this approach 😅. I'd rather them see their customers have high standards. Thanks for watching!
Hey thanks for sharing your pain, I hope you doing better, my nephew had the worst experience about his dog too, and he went to solitary for over two years and just getting back into the normal life. Please take care Great shooting, amazing camera.
I really believe that was Clark coming down from heaven. Couldn't have picked a prettier day for a miracle. I'm doing well and spoiling my pups very much these days. Thank you for the kind words.
6:50 well thats super subjective the film simulations are what bring to your jpeg some amazing film looks. its that simple if u want that nostalgic look u use those.
This is my 5th X2D body. I tried 3 used and 2 new. I have no shame in returning a $8,200 camera if it's defective. I don't know where you live but b&h has been great at accepting returns.
@@WILMORENO Thx for you answer did you ended find one with no defect? and yes I buy from B&H the problem with them is if u r on backorder you better go to other store
@@yossishtekler7599 Yes this one is perfect. To be fair the 3rd body I got was also perfect. I just thought I wanted a gfx100ii when it came out. So I sold that X2D
I noticed that the M11 ONLY has issues connecting to the Fotos app when my Visoflex 2 is attached. Once I take it off it connects instantly… not that it matters anymore.
Sorry for your loss and looking forward to more of your videos. Subscribed! I am really enjoying my X2D- I went with the 38v and 55v lens, though almost went with the telephoto. Do you find handheld with that lens is a challenge or the weight makes it hard to everyday travel with?
Thanks for watching and the sub! With the grip/armor/zoom lens; my X2D weighs right under 6 lbs. I've gotten used to it but people definitely comment on how heavy the camera is if they hold it. The hike definitely hurt my back but I believe it was mostly from a poor fitting backpack. Anytime I traveled with primes, I always felt like I had the wrong lens on the camera. So I'd spent a lot of time swapping/second guessing. And I really don't want to expose this giant sensor to the elements. I had the 38 and 55. The 55 looked so good on the camera, and the 38 would be my go to lens if just 1 prime. But sometimes I needed just a little more in the frame. The zoom is really a hell of a lens.
This is beautiful, Wil. And I feel for you - dogs are the best of us. That statement by Chief Crowfoot is powerful - I just shared it with my kids. You helped inspire me to buy the X2D, which I did a few weeks ago (love it). Your shots are are absolutely gorgeous. Thanks, mate. PS. That little guy at the end is adorable! New member of the family...?
Thank you very much for the kind words & compliment. Congrats on your new X2D, enjoy it in good health. My pups name is Luna, she's 9 years old now. But, at 2.2kgs I still consider her a puppy. They really are the best of us. Thank you again for the thoughtful comment.
@@WILMORENO You seem like a hell of a nice guy, Wil. You have a very honest, straightforward way about you. I hope this channel becomes everything you wish for.
I did switch to Fuji once that hfx100ii was announced. Then went right back to hb. Ive got a video "gfx100ii vs x2d" going into details. Fuji looks good on paper, HB wins in image quality. And that's what matters most to me. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment
Thanks for the great comparison! For me, it was a very useful point of view. Question, have you been able to assess the new firmware of the X2D, especially for autofocus?
Thank you for your comment. Im currently using the 35-75 and have no real issues w.autofocus. The only bummer about the live view is that you can't use the self timer. So, no selfies unless you want to be holding your phone/ipad in the picture. I had trouble with the 80 1.9 af in the past. I need to get my hands on a portrait lens soon so I can have a solid stance. Thanks again!
Insane, the Fuji colors are phenomenal. RAW files are easy to get amazing results. Maybe it’s your choice of software or knowledge of it. You admit you don’t like post. You don’t seem willing to learn this skill, but that doesn’t even take time. I have presets with Alienskin Exposure 7 for the GFX and it’s simply gorgeous. I do custom grading using a film LUT app as well, the camera blows minds. They also use the same sensor and while there will be differences what you’re aiming is purely absurd. I am picking up the 907x 100c, got nothing against Hasselblad, but this is just a silly conclusion. The people echoing it are just advertising their ignorance on how to do basic post. And that says nothing of the SOOC JPEGs Fuji offers.
I got my degree in flexography in 2007. I was running printing presses and using a spectrodensitometer back then. In this video I mention color calibrating my fuji sensor with 2 different professional tools... Lastly, I bought alien skin exposure back in 2013.
Hey! thanks for checking in. Absolutely, the camera is magic. Im about 90% done w.the new video. I need to figure out a more efficient way to make yt videos.
it's absolutely incredible for landscapes. in my opinion there's no better landscape camera at the moment. working on a video about that now. Since the weather is getting nicer, I'll be doing some portrait shoots w/it. I don't want to say yet until I have a solid opinion. Thank you for watching
Nice comparison. I’ve been using the GFX100 since its release five years ago. 32-64 is my walk around lens (even over the 45), and the 110 is an entire reason to shoot GFX. I wish there were GF adapters for the hassy
I am thinking to get latest GFX with 45-100 (as you said boring lens). And I think you are probably right. But to get it and understand it I need to go through all the way and probably set myself to Hasselblad. Can you please tell did you try to play Fuji colors with Capture One or it was a Lightroom? I have heard many times Capture One brings Fuji colors to life. Thanks for video
Hey thanks for your question. I didnt use capture one. Ill say that after calibrating the sensor with the passport color checker. The calibrated sensor profile yielded much better results in LR. But my grand canyon stuff was still way below standards, even with the sensor calibration. Just got back from Hawaii with the x2d. Its insane how much better of a perfomer the x2d is when it comes to image quality. These images are my favorites after 30 years of photography. Working on that video now.
@@WILMORENO thank you for reply. I set myself to GFX100II because of eye tracking. It works really fine. Not so good as R5 of cause, but decent. For landscapes I think I would go for Hasselblad too because of colors
So I’m a GFX user for 5 years, I know the color thing going on and it affects me, but for the rest I’m quite happy with it. My question to you is what software are you using to process these two systems? I use camera raw, some people use Capture One which nails the color better than CR. But Hasselblad has Pocus which is great for colors but doesn’t work for anything else so you have to go through two different software to get things done.
I've been using light room classic for approx 10 years now. I just stick with that. Phocus isn't my favorite, I should probably spend more time using it. The FUJI portraits came out much nicer with the passport color checker sensor calibration. I went back and applied that color space and was pleasantly surprised. The landscapes were still consistently below standard. I feel like I need to go back to the grand canyon with the X2D and redo everything. I just got back from Maui this week, putting the video together now. The X2D is such a better camera for fine art photography. Still need to do some proper portrait tests. Just waiting on the weather to get nicer here. Thank you for watching and commenting.
would be nice ion you could show us what you mean I'm saying the fuji 110 photos you showed were insane I'm a pro photographer and I know what looks good can you show us the Hassleblad portraits and skin tones to compare. I never shot with either of these. but I had raw files from the original hassleblad x1d and compared to the 50r and 100s I didn't like it. you have experience with both would love top see what you mean side to side.
Man I lost a small fortune changing systems. Maybe one day ill have another fuji in hand. But right now all my funds are going to hb accessories. That 110 lens really is nice, im learning I can just get the same compression by backing up and cropping in . Thank you for the compliment and for watching my video. Im going to hawaii tomorrow, will make an x2d update with the content I get there
Just subbed. Best wishes with your new channel! Looking forward to seeing more X2D content. I owned new Blads back in the 90s, 501C kit (80mm C lens), 180mm CF lens, & 903SWC with a couple of viewfinders. I’m salivating for the X2D, but I would like new XCD V versions of the 21mm and 135mm. Cheers
Very nice. I had a 503cx for a while with the 80 and 120. Other than the X2D, that was my favorite camera. I feel like owning a Hasselblad is really treating yourself. FWIW I really like the xcd lenses. But, I'm hoping they make a fast telephoto lens soon. Thank you for the support
You think that the build quality of the GFX100S feels cheap??? LOL - you will never give any mirrorless a second glance then, because also having a gfx 100s- it’s extremely well built, compared to most any other camera- maybe a slight second to the gfx 50R
@@WILMORENO just did google it, at your request- and if you call this proof… well…! It’s one review of the camera at the base issue you propose to prove that the entire camera is built poorly- ONE!!! All of the rest are not documented, or reference that one - and in any case - i always outfit any reasonably expensive camera with SmallRig L brackets … so there you are! It’s of course not ok if that one report of an issue turns out to be valid - but…ONE???
@Mortenthorpe-DK I got my first camera in 1992. Took film photography class in high school. Later, I sold cameras while in college. I've been handling them for a very long time... For what it's worth, I think the canon Rs are also poorly built. The new z9 feels nice. Also, I'm a competitive armwrestler with a 208 lb. grip strength on a hand dynamometer. It's really nice to grip onto my camera and not hear plastic creaking. Hasselblads are very rare in the wild. Have you held one before? Seems everyone who's handle both agree that the fuji isn't near the same quality.
@@WILMORENO at the price of a hasselblad, also considering its limited niche use - autofocus speed and such, compared to a gfx… i would be disappointed if hasselblad did not deliver a bit more than fuji… would you say that this is fair? And yes, i have held that camera- it’s a nice build, but the pricing is outrageous
I mean the x2d is almost the same price as the 100ii @@Mortenthorpe-DK - you're probably better off with a regular ff mirrorless camera if performance is the concern. I gotta say the Hasselblad is more inspiring to have in my hand. That's worth a lot to me.
Hasselblad has fallen into the marketing hype ditch! They are super expensive, and super slow for most uses outside of controlled studio, and offer very very little to an already tiny audience - medium format is demanded (need to have), by about 1 percent of people who demand (not want) full frame over apsc… in medium format, the only, not negatable feature of the hasselblad, is the fact that they use leaf shutter instead of traditional shutter…
See that’s what I’m saying ,..this company “ Hasselblad “ is crap ,.. I bought everything from the Hasselblad store they sent me a 65 mm lens in a Pre-opened, box. I’m living in Panama cost me $200 to send it back they sent me a second 65 mm lens in a pre-opened, box…. They refused to allow it to be returned,…WTF
Hello Will. Thank you for this EXCELLENT comparison of the X2D and the Fuji GFX 100 II. As a Nikon Z System landscape, product and macro photographer, I have been quite satisfied with the image sharpness and detail I obtain from the Nikon Z System (Z7, Z8 and several lenses). However, as I do on occasion produce very large prints *30"x40" and up), I've always had an interest in medium format. So, in your opinion, do you feel that the X2D with, say, the Hasselblad 120/3.5 XCD Macro lens would give me a very substantial improvement in image quality (particularly image sharpness and detail rendition) in the large prints, over either the Fuji or my Nikon Z System? (Also, as I don’t shoot video, that’s another reason the X2D appeals to me, as well as the NCS of the Hasselblad files, since I’m somewhat colorblind, and it sounds like color-correcting the Fuji files would be a nightmare for me in particular!) Thank you sir!
Thank you very much for commenting and subscribing. I had a d610 and 90mm macro lens a while back. Though I wouldn't call the jump substantial, it was noticeable. With large prints, you'll definitely benefit if the viewer wants to get close I had that 120 for a bit, likes to hunt but fanstastic production quality. If you're considering upgrading, the x2d would be a solid gamble. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised Also, b&h + adorama have excellent return policies :)
