I was about to say “if it's an X2D II, it's going to be even more expensive and inaccessible, and the days when you could buy a used Hasselblad for less than 3000 € are definitely over :-(”

Out of curiosity, I just checked used prices at MPB U.S., and on offer are:

X1D, excellent condition, $2209 = €2039,

X1D II, excellent condition, $3299 = €3044, and

X2D, like new condition, $7519 = €6939.

I realize that U.S. prices are typically quoted without sales tax, but E.U. prices are typically quoted with the local (?) V.A.T. And I realize that sometimes U.S. and E.U. prices differ substantially. But you can probably find less expensive options on eBay. Also, I can't imagine the release of an X2D II will do anything other than make these prices go down.

Sorry, I didn't make myself clear, I was talking about price trends on the most recent models, i.e. the X2D MK I and hypothetically the forthcoming MK II. My old X1D still works fine but it won't last forever, and I'm afraid I won't be able to upgrade, actually I'm already slowly switching to the GFX system. But I could be wrong, Hasselblad has already surprised us with its pricing policy, and this could indeed happen again...

... I am tired of all these YouTuber doing commercial for the actual X2D.

Wondering why they didn’t do it as the camera was new…
