Body, 63mm f/2.8 lens, and EVF. That's a pretty good deal I think. Hasselblad's X1D is $8999 body only.

I have a feeling, and a vague inside scoop, that they were going to announce something big. But something must have happened and didn't want to do a DL fiasco again. That said, Fuji likely would...

I have it and the 85. It's sharper wide open and less purple fringing. It's amazing.

12-24 is almost 2 1/2 lbs. That's a bigga boyah!

I'm assuming you mean the Mamiya 7II? Well. First, it was film and the Fuji is digital. Film is the capture AND storage medium. Digital has a sensor, a host of electronics that are slightly above...

If they were priced the same, I'd opt for the Hasselblad. Simply because of the sync speed and it has a Nikon hotshoe. (As a Nikon user and potentially dual system user, I can't tell you how...

85 Art has a front filter thread of 86mm. Its huge! the Nikon 105 1.4 and Tamron 24-70 VC is "only" 82mm.

@dpreview.... I think it's time to have a medium format forum here.

44x33 is 4:3. So by default, it is a 4/3s camera yes, no need to mention the default format as a feature. Hence 3:2, 5:4, 1:1 etc.

Its the APS-C of medium format. APS-C proper seems to have settled on 24mp as a sweet spot. FF is overing around 40mp. This 44x33mm Sony sensor is a gateway to medium format for a lot of people. FF...

fingers crossed!

I agree. This is akin to going to a fine restaurant for the food they provide but then demanding for the raw ingredients so they can prepare it themselves.

Thank god for albums! Never have to worry about technology compatibility 20 years from now.

And entry level DSLR might be limited to 5-6 fps, but that's its only limitation really. You can still stick a 800mm lens on it, or a fisheye. An iphone is capable in capable hands, but at 24mm you...

NetMage, sure do! Let's talk about it. 1. Up until now iphones have an effective lens focal length of 24mm. What are you shooting at 10fps at 24mm? Kids soccer/football game? Bird taking flight?...

An entry level DSLR will have focused and fired off 10 shots before any Apple device has even focused.

I suppose this is a hint of whats to come from Sigma. Why make the 85 HG lens a cinelens, when the rest are ART series lenses. This 85 must be the impending 85 1.4 ART lens.

It's likely the commercial photographer they hired uses Hasselblad. Not taken by Jimmy in Sigma marketing department.

I lost 4 over the course of my 1st year with the D750. Twice I happen to find it on the floor. After the 4th time I bought a Hoodman asymetrical rubber eye cup and it hasn't come off in the year ...

In the early days, every camera release seemed to be a quantum leap in technology. Think D1 to D2x. For batteries alone, I know people who would have upgraded just to go to lithium.  The D300 ...
