August 26, 2025 /

Here are the key takeaways from the announcement of the Hasselblad X2D II 100C camera:

  1. Advanced Autofocus System: The X2D II 100C introduces AF-C continuous autofocus with enhanced phase detection, expanding coverage from 294 to 425 zones. This system, powered by deep learning algorithms, improves tracking of moving subjects and includes a new AF illuminator for better performance in low light.
  2. True End-to-End HDR: This camera is the first medium format model to support true end-to-end high dynamic range (HDR) imaging. The Hasselblad Natural Colour Solution (HNCS HDR) enhances colour accuracy and tonal depth, allowing for richly detailed images even in challenging lighting conditions. Has a bright 1400 nit OLED rear display with a wide gamut (P3) colour space, capable of displaying HDR images.
  3. Exceptional Image Quality: Featuring a 100-megapixel BSI CMOS sensor with a 16-bit colour depth, the camera captures approximately 281 trillion colours. It offers a native ISO of 50 and an increased dynamic range of 15.3 stops, ensuring precise control over highlights and shadows.
  4. In-Body Image Stabilisation: The X2D II 100C boasts a 5-axis, 10-stop in-body image stabilisation system, providing up to eight times the stability compared to its predecessor. This allows for handheld long exposures, enhancing creative possibilities without the need for a tripod.
  5. Enhanced Workflow and Portability: The camera integrates with Phocus Mobile 2, enabling wireless image transfer and remote control. It retains 1TB of internal SSD storage and includes a CFexpress Type B slot for additional storage. The design is more compact and ergonomic, featuring a tilting 3.6-inch OLED screen and customizable controls for improved handling and user experience.
  6. The Hasselblad X2D II 100C is priced at $7,399, which is $800 less than its predecessor, the X2D 100C. It is now available for purchase, and alongside the camera, the new XCD 2.8–4/35–100E zoom lens is priced at $4,599.
