Cost $8,995 - Preorder from B&H PhotoI am certain this will be a well built camera and it does nicely incorporate a few pieces of modern tech like USB 3 Type C, a viewfinder that I am sure will be gorgeous with 2.36MP and of course a medium format sensor that is capable of giving you extremely shallow depth of field and awesome light gathering capabilities. Is that all worth $9,000 plus you need lenses.  Of which there are only a few hopefully there will be adapters but in general medium format lenses are quite expensive as they need to cover a significantly larger sensor.  Let me know on Facebook - are you interested? A few more photos Hasselblad X1D-50c Hasselblad X1D-50c Medium Format Mirrorless Digital CameraHasselblad X1D-50c Medium Format Mirrorless Digital Camera
