Hasselblad has unveiled its new X1D II 50C Camera, CFV II 50C digital back and 907X camera body.
The Hasselblad X1D II 50C maintains the 43.8 x 32.9mm 50MP CMOS sensor from the Mark I model and offers a larger 3.6″ touchscreen LCD. It also features a higher resolution enhanced OLED EVF with 3.69-million dots and a 0.87x magnification. “The X1D II 50C’s live view features a faster refresh rate, reduced shutter lag and black out time between frames, an improved continuous capture rate, and a startup time cut almost in half from the first generation.”

Any first thoughts on the Mk II at this point? Any idea how the cut the price eomdrastically?
I think Fuji has a lot of momentum and really forced their hand on the price. Looks like a solid option in the $5k range for a medium format camera now.
