Hasselblad X2D II 100C
The Hasselblad X2D II 100C is here, and it's easily the most advanced medium format camera the brand has ever made. Priced at $7,399, it actually costs less than its predecessor while adding huge upgrades that serious photographers will appreciate.
At its core, the X2D II 100C keeps the 100MP BSI CMOS sensor with up to 16-bit RAW and 15.3 stops of dynamic range, but this time Hasselblad introduces true HDR photography, a first for medium format. Paired with a 3.6-inch OLED display that hits 1,400 nits of brightness, you can now review HDR shots instantly with incredible clarity.
The autofocus system has also leveled up. With 425 phase-detect points, AI-backed AF-C, and even LiDAR assistance, the X2D II delivers faster, more accurate focusing, finally making continuous autofocus and burst shooting possible (up to 3 fps). Add in a 10-stop, 5-axis stabilization system, the best in the industry, and handheld long exposures without a tripod become a reality.
Design refinements include a lighter magnesium body (7.5% less than before), a textured grip, and a new 5D joystick for intuitive control. Storage remains a standout with a built-in 1TB SSD plus a CFexpress Type B slot.
For pros seeking unmatched image quality, stabilization, and HDR capabilities in a compact medium format body, the Hasselblad X2D II 100C isn't just an upgrade, it is a statement piece.
