It’s basically an open carry for one more SD card where you can hang pretty much anywhere you want. 3D printed in a stunning orange (my favourite colour), it stands out without being too tacky. The spring loaded mechanism inside feel just like your SD card slot in your camera. From about a hundred clicks from me, it feels pretty sturdy and robust.

As a hardcore user of my tools, there are some areas of improvement I’m hoping to see in a gen 2. It’s quite tight from the get go which I’m hoping will loosen overtime. My biggest concern will always be when it comes to open carry is safety. Memory will ALWAYS be my priority over anything else. Cameras can be replaced but the content cannot. I understand the open carry concept is for it to be quick but I would love to see a spring loaded to cover with a small latch/lock system that will only open when I want it to. From experience, anything that can go wrong will go wrong and I don’t want my cards to be part of it.

Would also love to see other card types, particularly CF type A as I’ve completely removed SD cards from my work rotation.

Super excited to see where these guys take One More Shot. Camera gear needs to start having face lifts to not be so boring and and this is a really nice start from a Malaysian team!

Live music will always have a place in my heart and part of it is trying to find unique ways to share my perspectives within limitations.

Took these photos of Jaclyn Victor during an incredible show with the OPPO Find X9 Ultra and Hasselblad 300mm Explorer Teleconverter as well as on the master mode. Just being able to get extreme detail shots from the back and front of house on a camera this small has been really incredible.

I remember starting my career in music photography with an entry level DSLR and kit lens. I struggled like MAD to get close up shots and I can’t believe what was so difficult years ago I can do with a camera that fits in my pocket.

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.

Stills from exploring Chongqing and Chengdu with the new 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 . 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.
