A real world comparison between the Oppo Find X9 Ultra and the Hasselblad X2D 100C II. The Hasselblad’s sensor renders some of the most accurate colours I’ve seen and at almost 5.5x times smaller, the 1 ½ inch sensor on the Oppo is quite similar in all but the hardest conditions.
The photos here are straight out of camera with no tweaks to colour. I only slightly adjusted exposure and slight crops to make both images somewhat identical. When it comes to architecture/landscapes, they are extremely similar. Colours are slightly deeper and richer on the Hasselblad but the Find X9 Ultra looks nicer overall when it comes to portraiture with it leaning slightly warmer and saturated. However, the Hasselblad is closer to real life but both render skin tones really well. Both are excellent cameras for portraits.
Yes there are more minute details to nitpick but I personally shot with the Find X9 Ultra than with the Hasselblad. Having an ultrawide lens up to a 10x zoom on the phone makes getting a variety of shots much easier than needing to change lenses.
They are both equally enjoyable to shoot with and I am pleasantly surprised by how well the Find X9 Ultra holds up in comparison to the X2D 100C II.

From speeding bikes to extravagant shows, chasing thunderstorms to the mundane everyday. Still super impressed with how the OPPO Find X9 Ultra took all of these photos.
I wanted to force myself to shoot everything using the Hasselblad Master Mode, which was essentially being able to manually adjust all your settings just like on a normal camera. For me, being able to decide how the image is captured e is just as important as the photo itself.
I’m particularly proud of being able to capture the lighting completely on manual. 300+ photos and probably 2 of them had lighting in them.
Something I’ve found is that the noise at ISO 800 is quite pleasing, giving it a sort of texture without ruining the photo. Master Mode on the phone has a softer image right out of camera making the photo more camera-like.
Definitely some of my favourite travel moments I’ve taken in awhile!

Portraits of China on the OPPO Find X9 Ultra.
Where the phone really shines is capturing portraits. I really love the way skin tones are captured, the subtle fall off of the bokeh as well as being able to capture a lot of details with the Hasselblad 200MP mode. I usually prefer shooting with portrait mode for the bokeh but something interesting I’ve found with the Find X9 Ultra is that its 1/1.12 inch sensor for the 200mp mode has more than enough bokeh for portraiture.
An added feature I don’t see many people talking about is the skin retouching feature. It’s actually really really good and looks really natural. I used it quite a bit together with the 200mp as you do capture way more detail and sometimes that means emphasizing the unflattering parts too.

What I really loved about exploring China was seeing how people were utilising their spaces. Old buildings were used as cultural showcases, children doing homework in parks, performances in restaurants or the elderly doing calligraphy by the lake. Many of the spaces look and felt lived in, not just for show.
Took these on the Hasselblad X2D II and the 75MM P. The native 4:3 aspect ratio on a medium format sensor feels like your experiencing a moment. Really hard to describe but the images out of the camera are just surreal especially when printed.
This trip was to experience and shoot with the new Oppo Find X9 Ultra. Something I was very interested in was how closely the phone compares to the X2D, considering how the phone is presented as being very similar to the Hassy. Will be sharing some thoughts about it soon!

Another addition to our growing Sony lenses. The 400-800MM F6.3-F8 is their most recent super telephoto zoom for the G series.
Bought this because we had a few projects that needed an ultra telephoto zoom, even longer than the 200-600mm. I had considered another 200-600mm with a 1.4x teleconverter but decided against it as I hate having another point of failure in a rig.
Glad I made the decision to pick up the 400-800 as it is noticeably sharper corner to corner compared to the 200-600mm especially at 800mm. The downsides are that it’s noticeably heavier and has a widest aperture of F8 at the max end. Not really an issue for me as we mainly use this lens for video with FX6/FX3’s. Makes the lens super versatile even with low light conditions. It also apparently has better motors to make the most of the newer AF system but honestly, the 200-600mm never missed anything for me. No difference there.
Would have loved for the lens to come with a bag but understandable as you’d probably use your own bag to carry it around.
After using the 400-800mm for a couple of shoots, I’ve found it to be severely limiting compared to the 200-600mm. If you need the reach, it might make sense. But for most people that are looking for an ultra telephoto, the 200-600mm is a more versatile purchase overall. It’s great for one thing and that is reach. If you need it, you need it. If you don’t, you don’t.
The RM60,000 Hasselblad X2D II and the RM6,799 #OPPOFindX9Ultra. When photographer Sam put them side-by-side, the results challenged everything we know about mobile imaging.
It all comes down to the soul of the shot: the color. The OPPO Find X9 Ultra delivers skin tones and focus fall-off so authentic that the output feels similar to the Hasselblad X2D II. By utilizing the Hasselblad Master Mode on Find X9 Ultra, the phone produces images that are incredibly similar to a camera, bypassing the typical ”smartphone look“ for something deep, organic, and truly professional.
The OPPO Find X9 Ultra Earth Explorer Kit completes this transformation, featuring a casing with a physical shutter button to engage auto-focus and a 67mm filter adapter. This allows you to stack your own professional polarizers or ND filters, so you aren‘t just holding a phone, you’re wielding a professional rig.
Experience the legendary Hasselblad look, no longer exclusive to the studio but now in the palm of your hand.

Stills from exploring Chongqing and Chengdu with the new @oppomalaysia Find X9 Ultra. Photographing China was such a rich experience and I really wished it was longer.
After taking over 20000 photos, the Find X9 Ultra has genuinely impressed me. In particular, Master Mode and the new Hasselblad 50MP 10x Optical Telephoto really surprised me the most. Master mode bypasses a lot of the “smartphone” look, providing soft and camera like images especially in the skin tones. I found myself using the 10x the most because it helps with cleaner compositions.
The fun part will actually be comparing it to a Hasselblad X2D II.

Some work from early in the year for @oppomalaysia . Shot entirely on the OPPO Reno 15 Pro.
Brief was to make it Gen Z. But since I’m from the 1990’s, my dinosaur brain only liked these few here that are cleaner.

A new season in my journey as a photographer.
The X2D had always been my dream camera ever since I first held it. The right time never came and I could never really justify the cost for a very specific benefit. But, a project came up and I decided it was the right time to jump into the digital Hasselblad system.
I’ve been a die hard 500CM believer and the X2D Mark II shares many of its philosophies. Despite being more DSLR-like, the X2D mark II is slow. If you are used to the fantastic AF performance on Sony, the Hasselblad system is a huge disappointment. But what it makes up for is the image quality. It truly is true to life and that is by far the most outstanding feature of the camera.
Bought this with my own money and I would say for the most part, it really isn’t worth it if you are looking for an all rounder. It’s slow, battery life sucks, AF is slow and unreliable most times and it heats up quite abit after 30 min of use.
But the images out of this are gorgeous and that might just be worth it for some.

Closest thing to the perfect camera 🙆
2026 marks two years since I started shooting with the FX6 and despite some amazing cameras that have come out, the FX6 still powers through.
It’s not perfect and has its issues. Not being able to grab external audio without the handle, difficult to rig up and pretty noisy 12800 are some of the inconveniences. But when you add up the size, weight, built in variable ND, great autofocus and great image quality all for a reasonable price, it’s quite hard to beat.
But in the social era, I do wish I could shoot open gate sometimes. Rarely, but there are times it would come in handy.
Even in 2026, id get another FX6.
Unless I get a great price on the Burano 🤔
Stills of the Jonas Brothers shot on the @oppomalaysia Find X9 Pro.
Got the chance to watch the their show in New Jersey last year as I was shooting for The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus who were their surprise guest. Wouldn’t say I’m a huge fan but damn their show was insane. Amazing sound and killer musicians. Such an experience!
I was only shooting video on the FX6 so I didn’t have my normal stills camera with me. The Find X9 does have some issues with HDR and heavy noise reduction but I’ve been super impressed with the images coming out of this phone. I started photographing concerts with the Canon 550D and to think that I can get these photos on a phone today is just mad.
I used the teleconverter kit which effectively makes it like a 230mm on the 10X mode. But I was shooting on the 40X mode mostly making it around 400mm. Images come out soft but still passable.
Hopefully an X9 Ultra comes out because it’s been really refreshing to have something like this in your pocket.
(I do shoot for OPPO Malaysia often but this post isn’t sponsored nor requested. I just really like shooting with the phone)
