My Hasselblad X2D 100C combines features seen in both [my former] X1DII 50C, and the 907X bodies There were interest points for me upgrading to this camera body [still using the 'old' 21mm F4, 45P F4 and 65mm F2.8 glass w/ the X2D].

First, I usually carry my 21mm and 45mm lenses to a location [the 65mm stays home for studio work]. The 100MP sensor X2D lets me crop tighter on images without significant resolution reduction.

Second, We shoot events where I use the tilting screen to shoot 'on-the-fly' so to speak while covering the space.

Third, I am impressed with the color science paired with 15 stops of dynamic range where I can to capture true-to-life highlights and shadows with natural transitions using my X2D 100C. IBIS - shooting handheld at longer shutter speeds [up to 1.0 second for me is a nice to have.

Fourth, I am also liking the upgrade from a Contrast Detection sensor in the X1D II to an exceptional 294 Phase Detection autofocus over the 100-megapixel sensor in the X2D - that now gives me swift and accurate focusing.

[Icing on the cake is the 1TB SSD installed in my X2D]

So, my Hasselblad X2D 100C Medium Format is capable of exceptional handheld image clarity - a level of hand held image clarity I have never experienced with a digital camera.The Hasselblad 5-axis image stabilization system in the X2D provides up to seven stops of complete shake reduction. I have seen a fellow X2D user shoot handheld at up to 1.5 seconds without blur.

I like doing stuff like this;

Have attached a series of hand held images to visually describe how I process a single Hasselblad 200MB RAW image that is hand held for 1.0 second [which after my process - is reduced to a 5-8MB JPG image for share online. I am also sharing how I use Adobe LRC with AI Denoise - which has proven to be an excellent automated image enhancement. The computer system stacks images to enhance clarity, resolution and color depth. Works exceptionally well with RAW images produced with our Hasselblad X2D, Sony a9 and Sony a7III.

The posted image was shot with;
Hasselblad X2D 100C camera
Hasselblad 45P lens
Aperture: f/8
ISO 3200

Want to try a sample landscape at ISO 64, f/22 and however long it takes to expose on a tripod - should weather permit tonight.

Is that green color on the buildings accurate? Kind of an ugly color.

Appears you imbedded just this comment in the thread;
"Is that green color on the buildings accurate? Kind of an ugly color."

The image in question is a stacked image at 3200 ISO color - at night. I have attached a stacked image at 64 ISO - today [not pretty green in daylight either ].

Did I miss other comments?

Nice kit and the resolution that sensor (with those lenses) is capable of is going to keep you engaged for some time to come.

And half of it is the OPs super duper Blad pix, with appropriate third party editing as needed.

He said its AI enhanced. "AI" can mean many things, but as for enhancement, I see none in his originally posted image.

Viewing his archive, I see that the OP is really a quite decent Events shooter. Everybody has their strengths.

I find it almost funny when people like you choose to be condescending and make up useless negative ish in a thread, in an attempt to dig a metaphorical hole for me - so they metaphorically stand over me and metaphorically shake their finger saying "nah, nah, nah-nah, nah" about one of my posts. Get a life.

In addition, how dare you edit one of my images without my permission!

Good that you find stuff almost funny. This is after all an entertainment site. You can inject that geeky stuff but it always goes sideways.

I dont wait upon your permission. This is the general discussion area. Fixing up clearly out of whack WB, and explaining how easily its done, would be discussion, with illustration. Do it again, it happens again.

If you see your pix as holy or inviolable, the rules in the Gallery and Critique sections fully support you in that, so you can safely post them over there. Maybe you will really like what you see. Some Hawgsters really thrive there.

Those sections also encourage all that full exposition that you choose to include. Not *everyone* there does that, and there are occasional complaints about the lack of it.

I will not respond to your child-like responses. Get a life. This 'conversation' is over.

How do I block this person from sharing their condescending spittle in my posts?
