See my Hasselblad X1D wish list and Fujifilm GFX wish list.

The ability of the Hasselblad X1D sensor to record a wide dynamic range with rich color and contrast under mixed lighting of widely varying color temperature is quite impressive.

What particularly impresses me is the highlight discrimination, the subtle tones in the whites and near-whites in the flowers. I’ve noticed that quality to the X1D images in other shots as well.
