Quote from: o2mpx on Today at 04:04:29 PMIs the only way of getting images into Phocus Mobile is camera to iPad via usb c?

Tried copied prior 3fr images into the Phocus 2/Images folder, where the sample files are located but Phocus Mobile doesn't show these images.

You can upload images from the the X2D to Phocus 2 using WiFi. You can upload images to your iPad using a cable to the Files app. WiFi if you need to edit with Focus. If you're using the iPad as backup you can use Files...for later transfer to a desktop.
I've not been able to copy images from the folder in Files to Phocus 2.

Thanks so much for your answer--you inspired me to purchase Topaz Photo AI, as you're the 5th source in less than a month to recommend this software. I tinkered around extensively with the Topaz Photo AI denoising function, and am rather surprised to report that ACR's AI Denoise is far superior to Topaz's denoising function. I edited a number of different high ISO files in the Topaz Photo denoise filter, mixing various sharpening settings along with the denoise settings, and amazingly, the nuance of that perfect balance of detail and noise is a home run with ACR's denoising feature, with Topaz demonstrating quite a bit more denoising artifact than I care for. And with head to head comparison with the Topaz denoising feature at 200%, it's not even close. On top of that, the ACR Denoise feature is just one click, and Topaz requires quite a bit of fiddling, but even with 2 hours spent working with the Topaz software, it doesn't come close to ACR's denoising outcomes. Topaz Photo AI is still worth the spend, particularly thanks to its sharpening feature, but I am going to cast a strong denoising vote in favor of ACR's AI Denoise feature. And again, the context here is high ISO astrophotography--I'm not sure if the same will hold for files with less noise and lower ISO's.

I have a 5x7 large format camera which is quite larger than any of these comparisons but I do not take it backpacking as it requires its own large backpack albeit I hike with it for a couple of hours. A lot of camera manufacturers are more considering other aspects than portability (like the rumored/announced Canon R1). New cameras like the Leica Q3 or Fuji X100VI which are very portable are on permanent backorder.

Still I hope that Hasselblad can reduce the weight of its next camera, they are doing it with their lenses especially with the 28P

...the size comparison to the analogue medium format is also interesting.

Size is always relative.

It's been a long time since I've been using digital equipment as compact as the X2D.

The X2D is 8mm higher and 170g heavier than the X1D, which does not matter if one uses a camera in a studio or 100m away from a car but it is significant if one uses a camera all day walking in a city or backpacking for days. The 907x100C got 120g lighter than the previous model. Obviously I fully appreciate the IBIS which often would save the weight of a tripod so I'm hoping that the next generation gets lighter (and less high) than the X2D.

Phocus Desktop cannot read embedded settings when importing 3FR files which have been treated by Phocus mobile 2.0.1 before.

You can use the USB-C cable to download to your iPad. I just tried and it was quite good too with 120 raw images , each about 212 mb, about 26 gb total, taking 42 seconds.
That's a lot faster than usb-c to my Mac which is on a high speed network .. 10Gbps which was odd!

I noticed that there is still no USB-C connectivity to iOS in PM2.  Whereas it has always been there for the CFV 50c way back from 2020.
Sounds like a serious omission when large RAW files are concerned.

I thought Hasselblad was the leader on this USB topic when other cameras at that time did not have USB-C connections.

Ironically, by the time other cameras got it - H dropped it.  I stay away from WiFi and their often flaky connections unless it is an emergency.
