Hasselblad has set a new benchmark in the high-end medium format camera segment. The new 'X2D II 100C' features a 100-megapixel BSI CMOS sensor, HNCS HDR, a next-generation autofocus system combining LiDAR and PDAF, 5-axis 10-stop IBIS, a built-in 1TB SSD, and a 3.6-inch tiltable OLED with 1400-nit brightness. This flagship model is designed to meet the ideal standards of professionals.

Innovations in Autofocus and Image Stabilization

The standout feature of the X2D II 100C is Hasselblad's first-ever continuous AF-C autofocus. By integrating deep learning, PDAF (with 425 zones), and LiDAR assist, it achieves an innovative autofocus system capable of accurately detecting and tracking humans, vehicles, and animals.

Additionally, the 5-axis 10-stop IBIS has been significantly enhanced from the previous maximum of 7 stops, enabling handheld long-exposure photography.

Image Quality and HDR Performance

The 100-megapixel backside-illuminated BSI CMOS sensor (16-bit, 15.3 stops) reproduces approximately 281 trillion colors. With HNCS HDR, it delivers natural color tones and high gradation even in challenging lighting conditions. The camera can also generate HDR HEIF and Ultra HDR JPEG files internally, enhancing workflow efficiency for photographers.

Usability and Storage Design

In addition to the built-in 1TB SSD, the camera is equipped with a CFexpress Type B slot, balancing large data storage with expandability. The 3.6-inch tiltable OLED monitor with 1400-nit brightness, a 5D joystick, eight customizable buttons, and a sleek graphite gray body enhance both usability and design. The new model is also 7.5% lighter than its predecessor, offering excellent portability.
