Episode notes
Photos Over Specs
- The episode frames camera discussion around photos rather than specs to judge real-world results.
- Marques, Andrew, Adam, Ellis and David emphasize usage and images over specs repeatedly.
First-Hour Hasselblad Win
- Marques recounts pulling a Hasselblad X2D Mark II out of the box and nailing a backlit portrait with effortless autofocus.
- He loved the 100MP detail and built-in HDR that saved shadow detail in one-skill captures.
Built-In HDR Changes Workflow

- RAW still offers flexible control but the camera's HEIF tone map speeds practical results.
