Hasselblad X2D II 100C released - with up to 10 stops of image stabilization

Hasselblad takes the opportunity to release a successor to its now three-year-old X2D which was released in the fall of 2022. The new camera, Hasselblad X2D II with medium format sensor, receives a number of improvements over its predecessor. At the same time, they are also releasing the new standard zoom Hasselblad XCD 35-100mm F2.8-4 E.

The resolution of the X2D II, as the model name suggests, remains at 100 megapixels in medium format. The sensor itself follows the same basic design as its predecessor, although Hasselblad uses the term "enhanced BSI CMOS sensor" to describe the image sensor. The sensor's dynamic range is 15.3 EV stops.

The images are saved on the internal hard drive which holds 1 TB, with a write speed of 2370 MB/s and a read speed of 2850 MB/s. The Hasselblad X2D II also has a CFexpress Type B card slot to expand the space.

The autofocus has become faster, partly through the combination of phase-detect autofocus - PDAF - and LiDAR, which work together to speed up focusing when tracking subjects in a new AF-C mode with 425 AF points.

The focus should also find people, vehicles, and animals. The spot mode has also received the "Expand spot", "custom", and "wide" modes, allowing for more precise setting of focus points.

The built-in five-axis image stabilization can compensate for up to 10 EV steps in the center and 8 EV steps at the edges. Continuous shooting is 3 frames per second with continuous light metering and autofocus. 

New is also HNCS HDR, which expands the color space to P3 and the ability to save HDR files directly from the sensor after they are processed by the camera's image processor. The images are saved as HDR HEIF or Ultra HDR JPEG. The images can then be edited with the Phocus Mobile 2 software on an iPhone or iPad. 

The 3.6-inch display can be tilted up 90 degrees and down 43 degrees. HDR images can be displayed on the screen at 1400 nits, which is 75 percent brighter than its predecessor. The images can also be displayed on compatible MacBook Pro models, for example.

The design has changed somewhat compared to the predecessor, with a redesigned grip for better comfort, and a "5D joystick" for quick selection of the focus point. Two new customizable function buttons have also been added.

The Hasselblad X2D II currently has a price of 7,200 euros, equivalent to around 80,000 kronor. The exact Swedish price is not yet available.
