Whilst individual lines can be read out at up to 1/10,000s, it takes 300ms to read the entire sensor. The fact that both Hasselblad and Fuji managed is quite a feat, and required several engineering workarounds. Important takeaway number one: this was not designed from the beginning as a mirrorless camera’s sensor. Unfortunately, the sensor design lacks phase detection photosites, and is severely limited in two areas: live view readout (at reasonable resolution) is only 37fps, and a full sensor flush takes 300ms*. It is a native 14 bit sensor, but we do the data handling in a 16 bit space (as with previous cameras, and the H6D-100c, which has a true 16 bit sensor). It’s a tried, tested and proven sensor with a good 14-15 stops of dynamic range, very low noise properties and fairly large pixels for forgiving diffraction characteristics. The X1D uses the same Sony 44x33mm 50MP CMOS we know and love from previous cameras since 2014 including the H5D-50c, CFV-50c, H6D-50c, Pentax 645Z, Fuji GFX and Phase One IQ250/350 series. I myself have not had a chance to use final production hardware for an extended period until a few months ago simply because there were no spare cameras – everything went to filling customer back orders. That, and trying to reorganize production to be efficient enough to fill the very large number of back orders. Some of the design and engineering choices made back then were a consequence of those constraints, but have lead to some complications to implement things later on – one of the reasons why a ‘final’ firmware has been so delayed. The X1D was developed on a shoestring at a time when there was very little going for Hasselblad, and the team did a remarkable job to put out not just the X1D but also the H6D at the same time (they use the same platform). Whilst some of those limitations are functional, others remain a work in progress and affect stability or basic operation. It’s normal in the consumer electronics industry to launch products with incomplete firmware – think of how many updates your iphone will receive in the course of its lifetime before you eventually upgrade. The two main reasons for the delay are because I also have a H6D-100c in the stable, which serves as my primary camera (and whose files are understandably seductive to both photographers and clients – and yes, I probably need to do a mid term on that one, too) – and, at the risk of getting fired – until recently, I haven’t felt like the X1D is fully complete. But I’ll remain a photographer first and foremost, and I have the luxury of a little distance as the X1D as a product predates my tenure, but the harder task to assess what the real impact of the X1D as a new product category has been some time after release. Please keep in mind that this is a work in progress and may not yet be definitive.It’s been a long time coming – over a year since I first used the camera – and I will apologize for two things in advance: both the length of time it’s taken to complete, and the absence of any kind of objectivity since somebody will point out I work for Hasselblad. The long, narrow Canon lens date code chart is shown on the right side of this page.They have posted what they predict to be the future date codes for Canon lenses. Previous to July 2010, Canon put date codes on all lenses other than EF-S that let you know when the lens was manufactured.From TDPTo age a Canon lens using the 10-digital serial number Canon lenses, we dissect the serial number as:DD C SSSSSSSThe DD is the key to the date of manufacture of the lens – the date code. Bryan and Norbert over at TDP think they have deciphered the date codes built into Canon’s newish 10 digital serial numbers.
