Title: Hasselblad X1D II 50C , Hasselblad X1D or Fuji GFX 50S
Post by: rollsman44 on August 01, 2019, 12:44:41 pm
I do have a budget and I am trying to decide which system to get. I shoot mainly Portraits, Some landscape and would only want 1 or 2 lenses at best. My other option was to get a Used X1D or Used Fuji GFX 50S . I know the lenses are more expensive with Hasselblad and Both Fuji and Hassy lenses are both Excellent. I am semi retired as well and would use it for my personal use as well. I would like to know from those who have used either one to pass on what have experienced with both systems. Thanks

Deja vu. You asked a similar question a few days ago and decided to buy an APS camera. What happened?

The X1DII is just a newer version of the X1D from what I can tell. It works a little faster.
I suspect though that once the dust settles there will be a firmware upgrade for the X1D that makes them pretty much the same.
I have had an X1D for about a year now and like it a lot.

  Yes I did and I bought  a Fuji X-T3 for now. The IQ Is Fantastic with excellent Skin tones. I might keep this and get one other one Listed. I am waiting for the X1D or the GFX 50S prices to fall.   Thanks Dennis

In photography, buy cheap, buy thrice.
