The MOST EXPENSIVE Camera We've Ever Reviewed! Phase One XC

well this is the kind of product you don't buy for functionality, its all about saying you can buy it I guess

The only reason this product exist is because....

sounds like total shit crap unless you're in a very specific usage situation

Is this made for insanely rich folk who wear tweed coats? I cannot see how they priced this lump of shit.

That thing is a dinosaur. I guess if you're a big time photographer to the stars, it would be worth the cost.

meanwhile you have amazing contemporary photographic artists like Mario Basner shooting on a $1500 Nikon 810 and the results are something else!

I'll bear this in mind for whenever I'm looking to spend $63,000 on a camera with 1/4 the functionality of a Nikon d3500.

TLDW: pointless camera for pointless people.

this camera is shit

lmao

He could a least have put a lanyard on it

2 1/4 square next?

To spend that kind of money on a camera is insanity. To spend that kind of money for a camera whose lens you can't change is double insanity squared.

Fujifilm best of best

60k to crop for different focal lengths? is this a joke?

dull looking, not portable, not usable piece of junk with a tag 65k, its a shame even to think about let alone buying this crap.

yes, that raw histogram is a great idea, but also consider that this back can go on a sliding back for 4x5 for eg, cambo actus xl-DB or an Ultima 23D, linhof M679, Alpha TC, etc. all of which have NO internal metering, so this is what it is for, esp. to test if ND or Polarising filters are needed, and to test the effect.

this boy called himself caucasian. he wants to be white so bad

Is there an adapter so I can mount a Canon 1200mm RF? May as well spill all the beans in one pot.
Oh, I forgot; the lens is fixed. Camera is off my list of must haves'.

Is the use case for this camera fashion studio photography? I can’t really see this being useful for anything else. The pricing is absurd.

Hard not to take great photos of that area.

That $63k buys me frustration and lack of features instead of satisfaction and enjoyment of photography.

Great video, music too loud.

A camera with this price should see the future.

So this is the perfect camera for the really rich denti$t.

These photos are not good lol

...sorry, $63,000 for a camera with an ATTACHED, non-interchangeable 14mm lens? Lmao.

I used the capture one software before and it was so inefficient with lack of typical functionality of adobe lightroom. Interesting to see a native camera from that company which is just as horrific

lets be real, pixel 12 will take better photos

Я работал ретушером в рекламе и мне приходилось корректировать фото с разных камер: Canon, Nikon, Sony, среднеформатной Fuji и на всех из них скинтон был очень слабый, что-то поправить было очень сложно: сразу появлялась пастеризация цвета - видимые переходы оттенков цвета и приходилось работать лишние часы, накладывать шум и тд.
А вот фото с Phase One были просто идеальные! Скинтон шикарный, вытягивать цвет было одно удовольствие! Никакой пастеризации. Обожал работать с фотографиями с этих камер.

不会英语 看不懂😂

Fuji GA645wi seems a better deal.

Phase One is not a traditional camera manufacturer - their original key competence was on digital backs and raw editing software. I think they later bought the Mamiya medium frame technology to have a camera to put their backs on, and they named them Phase One. If you follow the community on YT around the Capture One Pro raw editor, you will meet a number of brand freaks that actually buy these insanely expensive cameras. Apparently some people think that owning a Porsche makes you a better driver. Hasselblad has made their own supermodel - naked too - for pure showoff.

Most of you don't realize what is required to manufacture a sensor of this size and resolution. As an example, for Leica to make it's B/W sensor, the company that makes it (CMOSIS), has to shut down it's normal production line, switch out multiple machines, create Leica's sensor, shutdown the line again, and then reassemble the line with their regular machines. That process costs a lot of $$$$ for Leica, which is then passed down to you.

Fixed lens, max f16, slow touch screen. Leaf shutter is a plus and 50 iso. They would have been better with re-tooling the mamiya brand. I had an RB 67, 645, c330 and still have a c220. Always liked the product. 65,000, its a 1percenters toy. Fuji can more than do the job or Hasselblad or a digital 4x5. And lastly, how long before an upgrade and price increase. Nice but, No thanks.

You need a hood over your head, like Ansel Adam had.

I wonder whether I'd get excited about it if I could afford it. 3 minutes in, and I'm bored.

to sum up: a crappy sensor monster... related to the handling and function times a GFX 100 with multi shot would be faster an iq wise quite similar. for a fraction of the price

What size of pixel does it have. Is it bigger than in Hasellblad

Fabricada em ISRAEL

No need buying unreliable camera like this. Even in studio, where you absolutely need another camera as back up

Why isn't camera tech as good as cell phones? Let me explain. If you used a cell phones processors, SSD' hard drives, a sim card, and a cell phones screen you'd have a pretty decent set of features on a camera. With a sim slot you could upload photos to the internet, live stream and play games on your camera. Why, why, why is this technology not applied to cameras and kept only for phones?? We are getting screwed that's why.

Interesting. Yea, people always critique the GFX and Hassy on "Not being true medium format", but this Phase One isn't really either at the 6x4.5 sensor size, the smallest medium formats ever were. Make it 6x7 or at least 6x6cm, then I'll agree. I owned a 6x4.5 film camera back in the day, and never thought I "really" owned a full-blown medium format. (I used a 4x5 View camera too, and I have a 6x6 Rollei TLR now too, so I'm no stranger to formats) That said, with this fixed ultra-wide lens, this camera is almost useless except for high-end pro interior photographers, IMO. If you've got to crop in then you negate the reason for the largish 150mp sensor anyways, while giving up a ton of usability, so why would we spend $60K+ on this? I'm even wondering why I might need the 100mp GFX camera, when the 50mp GFX sensor is still amazing, and if I want more res, I can just take a couple photos and stitch them. With these larger sensor sizes, we've got to focus stack a lot for DOF anyways. Speed and video features of the new GFX 100 II would be nice I suppose, but as far as image quality goes, the 50mp sensor is amazing. There's always Ai upscaling software too, that pulls res out of its butt, so to speak. That said, I am intrigued by the Phase One XF Studio and XT field cameras, that have interchangeable lenses and the XT having built-in shift movements. I can see a use for those cameras. I'll be interested to see what Fuji releases at CES coming up here shortly. Could be a nice GFX 100S II coming, that might just be the ticket for me.

Silly!

why are your rotations on portrait.

why are your rotations on portrait.

I would like to buy 10 Nikon z9
Rather than that piece of scrap.

Btw why is your background sharp and you out of focus

Both pictures you took at the beginning are trash
