We put all three cameras through their paces in multiple scenarios: • Front-lit portraits – checking detail rendering, skin tones, and color depth. • Backlit portraits – testing shadow recovery, dynamic range, and real-world usability. • Strobe-lit portraits – pushing sync speeds to see what Hasselblad’s leaf shutter can do compared to full-frame cameras. • Autofocus & tracking – Hasselblad finally adds continuous autofocus that can track a walking model. • Handling & usability – from the bright HDR screen to the built-in 1TB SSD, stabilization, and minimalist UI. I’ll show you where the Hasselblad clearly beats the competition—and where Canon and Sony still win. Plus, you can download the RAW sample files (link below) to compare for yourself. If you’re wondering whether medium format is finally practical for portraits, events, and everyday shooting, this test will answer your questions.
