Yes, works very well indeed. Got out my old grey card!

Still longing for an auto white balance option.

This is indeed a nice upgrade and we are basically now at the level we were expecting at the moment of the camera release.

Hopefully Hasselblad will now be able to start working on new features for the H6D, such as Auto-ISO that would make the camera so much more usable outside the studio. Auto-WB would be even better but this is a lower priority for me.

Cheers,
Bernard

Yes, nice to have the old "beep" back! Only took 2 years. Must have been tricky....

Petty request I know, but I would love to have back the old Red, Orange, Green flag for each in-camera image. Not accurate I know, but at least you could make a quick assessment of the ball-park you are in, and, for example, "Delete all with Red flag"..al la H3/H4 etc.

Added new firmware to my 100C. Now noticed that when bracketing is selected, I cannot select the continuous shooting mode. It just remains in single shot. Works fine when not bracketing. Not an issue prior to new firmware. Anyone else notice this? Will call Hasselblad in a.m.

Spoke with Hasselblad technical support this a.m. They were able to duplicate this same issue. So, this is a problem with the latest firmware upgrade and will require some firmware correction, hopefully in the very near future.

I noticed yesterday some gaps btwn the exposure correction displayed on the grip and that shown on the back while shooting.

This is not consistent.

Still some issues with the release cable not working consistently with some lenses... I will try to upgrade the lens firmware.

I suspect that Hasselblad is preoccupied with the success of the X1D and the upcoming X2D. I am having a little buyers remorse about the H6D-100C. Sad.

Hummm... I suspect the same. I think that I will think twice and thrice about any H7 that may appear.

It could be argued that the H6D-100c with the latest firmware now finally has the functional scope that was initially committed at release and is reasonably stable.

I don't have the impression that Hasselblad has the means or intent to push things beyond that.

I hope I am wrong.

In the meantime I keep using mine successfully.

Cheers,
Bernard

Gorgeous image Bernard!
