What high end camera should I get

[sscarmack]

You couldn't have been using the M9 properly

I've borrowed an M8, M9 an MP and that M monochrome.
None of them really clicked with me.
The M8 was far inferior to the D300 I was using at the time.
I still don't get why you'd have to remove the ENTIRE base plate just to change the battery or memory card.

The camera weighed far more than it has any right to.
I want to take photos, not build my biceps.

The ergonomics of the A7 family are still kinda odd but the image quality and autofocus is utterly sweet.

If you don't get removing the base plate you'll never get Leica, the M8 is one of the best digital B+W cameras going

Weird.. the M8 I played with shot in colour.

Very funny now I know you don't have a clue

I don't use clues, I use facts of which you seem to be lacking.
the Leica M8 shoots in colour.

is the a7rii the best choice for me at this time ??

If you don't mind changing batteries twice a day haha

Or buying multiple batteries

Well that and remember you need to factor in the additional expense required to make it a "proper" camera:

Universal® Permanent Self-Adhesive Color-Coding Labels, 3/4in dia, Red, 1008/Pack

Is that a problem? I have never had a problem with my A7 I just get quality shots with my Leica lenses fitted

This is interesting, I've never heard much about Leica other than that it's overpriced.

Leica is the preferred camera brand for celebrities

I think you should get the Leica M. It's very high end.

Hasselblad x1d. Such a steal at $9k

I know when I want a camera recommendation, first people I turn too would be folks that spend $1000 and up on recycled blue jeans. Because wow, you know they can spot a bargain.

Well, actually, for what it does - it is.

I would never recomment it to anyone who wants a great general camera though.

Its a specialist camera if you want excessively good image quality in a small, silent package. And dont want to have a ***load of applications. Such as fast moving subjects. Or more extreme focal lengths. Or zoom ability. Or macro.

Also - nobody has actually reviewed it yet. Hasselblad still has a good name, so I dont think there will be too huge issues, but It might be a total stinker with slow autofocus, stalling and crashing software, disappointing optics, and other failures. We simply wouldnt know at this point.

All we know its build from a solid block of aluminium etc, so build quality deserves the Hasselblad name tag, and it contains the Sony 44x33mm sensor, which according to some posts in other photographic forums is about 4k$ alone - so the whole package price is indeed really low.

You know what I really want? a Sigma SD Quattro H.
DROOL! and affordable.
