Hasselblad X2D II 100C Medium Format Mirrorless Camera Body

The Hasselblad X2D II 100C builds on the brilliance of its predecessor by refining speed, stability, and color reproduction, making medium format shooting more versatile for a wide range of situations. With an upgraded AF system, stronger in-body stabilization, and greater color control, it appeals both to seasoned medium format users and those stepping up to a larger sensor. These performance improvements are complemented by a streamlined interface, smooth wireless operation, and carefully refined physical details for an overall more enjoyable shooting experience. At its core is a proven 43.8 x 32.9mm 100MP BSI CMOS sensor that now delivers 16-bit color, enhanced processing, and up to 15.3 stops of dynamic range. ISO sensitivity spans from 50 to 25600, allowing greater detail in deep shadows and bright highlights, while continuous shooting at 3 fps keeps pace with moving subjects.

Hasselblad's dedication to color science shines through with the introduction of true end-to-end HDR capture in a medium format system, producing HDR HEIF and Ultra HDR JPEG files viewable directly on the rear OLED display or compatible devices. HDR performance is further advanced by HCNS HDR, which combines high dynamic range with Hasselblad's signature color profiling for refined tonal detail and highlight nuance. Using the P3 color gamut, in-camera processed images benefit from a 3-stop increase in dynamic range, while raw files processed through Phocus can gain up to 4 stops. These HDR images can be displayed seamlessly on HDR-ready Apple and Android devices. The XCD lens lineup enhances the system with optics built for the 100MP sensor and leaf shutters capable of flash sync at up to 1/4000 second, while the electronic shutter extends to 1/6000 second when using adapted lenses from Hasselblad's X-Pan and H-series systems.

Autofocus has seen a major leap forward with improved speed, accuracy, and a new AF-C mode that excels with moving subjects. The 425-point phase detection system is now supported by an integrated LiDAR sensor for fast performance in varied lighting, along with a new AF illuminator for better low-light precision. Expanded focus modes provide greater control, while AI-driven subject recognition accurately detects and tracks humans, animals, and vehicles. To match the immense resolution of the sensor, the updated 5-axis stabilization system corrects up to 10 stops of shake - eight times more effective than before - making handheld long exposures possible and even compensating for Earth's rotation through Phocus Mobile 2.

The body has been refined for improved comfort and durability, with a graphite gray matte finish, redesigned grip, and a 7.5% weight reduction, bringing it down to 1.85 lb. Monitoring and control are enhanced by a 3.6" 2.3m-dot OLED rear display with 1400-nit brightness and P3 gamut, now with a versatile tilting design. The 5.76m-dot electronic viewfinder provides 1x magnification, while the top LCD quickly displays shooting info. Navigation is more intuitive with a new 5D joystick and customizable buttons. Power and storage are equally robust, with a 3400mAh battery delivering around 466 shots per charge, internal 1TB SSD storage with write speeds up to 2370 MB/s, and a CFexpress Type B slot for additional flexibility. USB-C 3.1 enables fast transfers and in-camera charging.

Phocus Mobile 2 rounds out the system by enabling wireless transfers at 40 MB/s, remote wake-up, and editing of raw HDR files directly on iPhone or iPad. Editing tools include exposure adjustments, noise reduction through Hasselblad Natural Noise Reduction, and refined color rendering with HNCS effects, making the Hasselblad X2D II 100C not only a powerhouse in capture but also in streamlined workflow and creative control.
