Who wins on what

Ranked by what users actually praise

Overall Impression

Image quality and creative potential impress serious shooters. Multiple users highlight the 5.1K Hasselblad main camera as best-in-class, with panorama stitching, split-ND filter compatibility, and granular ISO control enabling professional results. Landscape photographers describe reaching new creative heights, revisiting old locations with fresh compositions, and being thrilled with footage quality, though a few wish for larger sensors or added megapixels in future models.

Camera switching and D-Log gaps frustrate video-focused users. Several commenters find the delay switching between 1x/3x/7x lenses disruptive, with exposure jumps and a noticeable 'lurch' during transitions, worse on the standard RC than the RC Pro. D-Log's absence on the tele lenses leads to oversaturated, overly sharp images, and toggling D-Log View Assist distorts the histogram, confusing exposure decisions for both Cine and Classic owners.

Tracking, GPS precision, and price limit real-world reliability. ActiveTrack struggles with anything beyond cars and pedestrians, failing on motorcycles, faster cyclists, and distant subjects via the 166mm lens, which the manual admits works best on static targets. Standard GPS carries meter-level error without RTK support, causing waypoint and RTH drift near cliffs or elevation changes. Combined with its high price and firmware update frustrations, it demands careful setup investment.
