Hasselblad X1D will now ship within 7-14 days at BH

The X1D will ship within 7-14 days at BHphoto. This is the first time I see such a short shipment time in US. The Fuji GFX is now in Stock since a couple of weeks at Amazon US.

UPDATE: Dpreview just published their X1D firs impressions review. And the X1D seems to have an edge over the GFX when it comes to Dynamic range:

This greater definition in deep shadows allows the X1D to surpass the Fujifilm GFX 50S in extremely pushed, base ISO shots. Bill Claff’s independent analyses confirm the 0.08 EV advantage in base ISO (photographic) dynamic range over the GFX, and the X1D’s lower read noise.

Brand new Sony A7 and A6000 deals in USA

This week Major US stores started new Sony A7 and A6000 deals on Sony cameras. Check them out at Adorama, Amazon and BHphoto.

This should not be interpreted as a sign that Sony will launch new cameras soon. But for sure there is one major announcement coming in April. We hope at least to get the new A7III if not the long time rumored A9!
