Review on Hasselblad H6D-50c Gray: ๐Ÿ“ธ Exceptional Medium Format DSLR Camera by Sean Sheppard

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Don't buy this! Best DSLR

First off, this camera does NOT record at 30fps as the name suggests! I got it, it was more in the workshop than in my hands. If I were to rely on him in my business, that would already ruin my life! I have been shooting with the Canon EOS 1N for over 25 years and have never had to return the body for any issues. The Canon body is made of aluminum and magnesium, making it lightweight and indestructible. Hasselblad uses heavy steel and plastic, which I'm pretty sure aren't made of ABS plastic. So it's heavy, bulky, fragile! I am facing many issues which I will cover here or the wheels are not responding. from time to time, and until now Hasselblad hasn't had an answer because they couldn't reproduce some of the issues as to why this is happening. Hasselblad has had my camera for several months; Added 2000 shots to my camera counter for troubleshooting and found some issues and others not. I had to pay to ship to them, it's pretty cheap isn't it, I've never come across it before; I do not know. They wanted my full set of lens adapters etc. The first time I sent them in the camera was two weeks old. Just got the camera back, took some shots like 5-10 and got the error messages again! If you are a young photographer, I recommend the Canon EOS 1DX. Mark II or III or R5; even the Sony A7 has a higher resolution and is 6-8 times cheaper. The H6D doesn't have 14 stops of dynamic range, again that's a long thread, I won't go into detail here. The camera isn't rainproof and at this level of professionalism and price you would expect it to be at least as waterproof as my 25 year old Canon EOS, but it isn't. The sensor for correct exposure quickly loses in low light, which in turn makes my 25 year old Canon better. The H6D doesn't take long to believe it's in low light, which is why it's annoying. The battery is empty quickly, you need three, at least for one day of shooting. On a sunny day I'm filming a horse and the camera starts making several errors and several beeps without pinpointing a problem and I kept pressing the shutter button and it wouldn't let me take a picture. I want him to take a picture and in Post Pro we can work that out later if it's an exposure issue but that doesn't let you take a picture at all and I ended up missing the position of the horse's head. This shot wasn't planned, otherwise I would have used my light meter and got it right, but just to share how clumsy it is that the Canon would either flash clearly, which was the problem, or otherwise shoot; Animals don't hold position when something happens and you have an idea, you have to be able to capture that moment; not with H6D :(((Video: joke, this is not a camcorder, it only shoots 24-30 fps and makes a silent movie out of it, because this camera is expensive as it is, no microphone, you have to walk around with a microphone all the time around if you want to be able to capture special moments on the go; or you can use your iPhone for audio and then sync audio and video if you know how to do it and if you have the right software, but it's very well impractical it's actually completely pointless so can't use video footage with this review it speaks for itself so here are a few issues I've personally encountered hoping this helps - I might one Writing a book about this which HASSELBLAD is fighting for their lives to remove all their bad reviews online I think they have discontinued some of their cameras so there are no related reviews what a shame!

Pros
  • Digital Medium Format
Cons
  • High Price
