Dears, I've decided to go for an X1D, first impression is a very very weird sound of the shutter, not at first, but after I've changed something it really sound weird and plastic/metallic.
I then decided to go and look out for a firmware to fix maybe this and more problems... (battery life seems ridiculous, but needs to be tested properly), and, after several attempts, this is all I got from Hasselblad website... pretty good start...

...little update... no chances to roll in their website and even remotely see a firmware update.
But there is something very uncomfortable on this start of what looks like a 24 hour adventure before returning the camera... charging the battery... its 4 hours battery 1 is charging, I've bought a second battery but it looks like you need four to get through the day.
So my question is, aside from an extra 600$ for battery, shall I consider another 600$ three chargers? Or Hasselblad believes that make more sense setting your night alarm clock every 4/5 hours to charge 4 battery in a confortable 24 hours time, a paradox, cause whether you charge batteries whether you shoot.
Am I getting wrong impressions?

THanks Bob, probably you had already an open account? I've tried with 3 different browsers with no luck whatsoever and same "ooops message"...

Update, this morning it worked smoothly. Maybe they just don't work on sunday...
