New Mirrorless King? Hasselblad X1D Announced

Tripods.

Orville Wright flew a plane with only a stick, which twisted the wings to execute a bank, and no instruments. Try crossing the ocean with that rig. The F35 will fly sideways on command. That takes a few more buttons.

 

The X1D has relatively few but intuitive controls. My old F5 was more complicated and less demonstrative.

Lets have a think here.

 

Better low light performance (still noisy and dirty) loads of pixels to excite the masses, and faster auto focus., Although most manual focus dudes would claim they can focus faster and more accurate.

 

Hello, Ed a camera is not a areophane, not much has really changed from dot....oh, now we have endless buttons to press, before we can take a photo.

 

And we wonder why folks are using smart phones.

Cameras are more complicated because buyers demand more capability. That works for areophanes [aeroplanes] and cameras. Even so, it is rarely necessary to press more than one button for the shot. "Excite the masses" sounds like something from socialist blather, better reserved for hand-painted protest signs. Try to stay on the right side of an analogy, and try to spell better if you plan to paint signs ;)

We agree cameras are getting more complicated, Ed (Edward to his mates...like me) And of course we both agree there's a learning curve process before we press that big button. there, two thing we agree on...not so hard.

Exciting the masses seems more to do with, if we follow your err analogy, with the dudes who dress in bedsheets and only listen to Wilhelm Wagner.

 

"try to spell better if you plan to paint signs" Edward.

 

Sorry about the spelling and stuff....those little dots and tadpoles things confuse me the most. Hey, us reds under your beds don't need to understand such things.

 

It takes two wings to fly a left and a right., Edward. You really do not need.... to endlessly flap around with just one wing.
