All Quiet on the Swedish Front...

Everyone seems to be in a holding pattern as we await the arrival of actual production X1D's and, of course, Photokina 2016. Rumors have been flying regarding a Fuji response to the X1D as well as something a little more serious from Canon and Nikon (low probability).

Hasselblad X1D Hands-On

As the Hasselblad X1D World Tour made its southernmost stop in the USA (Boca Raton, FL), I drove up the 50+ miles from Miami to finally get to see the Wunderkind from Sweden first hand. It did not disappoint, so far.
First off, a big thanks to Peter Lorber for hosting the event at his store Custom Photo Images and Hasselblad, of course, for having the tour in the first place.

DPReview, the 800lb gorilla of photo review sites, has managed to convince Hasselblad to let them publish images taken with the pre-production X1D’s currently on World Tour.
