Stunning Visuals

Building on the success of the award-winning X1D, Hasselblad has outdone themselves with the X2D 100C. It features a Back-Side Illuminated (BSI) CMOS sensor that reduces noise, eliminates colour casts when moving the camera, and improves the quantum efficiency of incoming signal for higher sensitivity. This BSI sensor can take massive 100MP stills with a 15-stop dynamic range and ISO range of 64 up to 25600.

Photographers needing superior colour accuracy can rely on the Hasselblad Natural Colour Solution (HNCS), which delivers highly accurate, natural colours without the need to adjust presets. The camera’s 16-bit colour depth ensures smoother tonal transitions and film-like image quality.

Crystal-Clear Images

Thanks to Phase Detection Autofocus (PDAF) and In-Body Image Stabilization (IBIS), users can always capture sharp images with accurate focus. The X2D 100C has 896 PDAF points in the sensor, grouped into 294 zones for fast and precise focusing. It allows MF to accurately display which way to turn for focus, while the PDAF pixels can determine which way to drive the lens. PDAF also supports single-shot autofocus and assisted manual focus.

The IBIS featured in this camera is an in-house designed unit that meets the high specifications required by Hasselblad. It is the world’s smallest digital MF 5-axis 7-stop IBIS unit, which fits nicely into this medium format camera's compact but capable build. The IBIS unit uses vertical and horizontal shift, yaw, roll, and pitch to provide shake-free images. The IBIS unit also works with lenses outside of Hasselblad's XCD range.

Adaptable Viewing Options

Get the information you need and the perfect view of your shot with multiple displays and viewing options. The improved EVF has a 0.5-inch OLED display with a 5.76 million dot resolution and 24-bit colour. It shows the whole image with a 100% viewing area, has 1.0x magnification, and even has electric refractive error correction so you’ll always get a clear image.

The back of the camera sports a 3.6-inch tilting rear display with a resolution of 1024x768 pixels and 24-bit colour. It has a tilt range of 0-70 degrees, and click stops at 40° and 70°. This camera also features a new 1.08-inch LCD colour display on the shoulder for quickly reviewing vital information. It can display shooting parameters, frames remaining, and battery levels.

Unprecedented Connectivity

Instantly share your images, and even capture images, to mobile devices and laptops. The camera has dual-band 2.4/5GHz Wi-Fi and is capable of Wi-Fi 6 connections. The camera body has a USB-C 3.1 Gen 2 port for wired connectivity that supports 10Gbps transmission rates. In addition to the internal 1TB SSD storage, photographers can also shoot and share on CFexpress Type-B Cards.

Thanks to the USB-C connection, tethered shooting is possible when using the Phocus Desktop or Phocus Mobile 2 applications, increasing the productivity of your workflow. With a Wi-Fi 6 connection, you can even capture and send High-Speed Wireless Raw images straight to your laptop or mobile device.

Hasselblad 55mm f2.5 XCD Lens

The Hasselblad 55mm XCD lens is a powerful standard lens with a large f2.5 aperture. Even with a lightweight and compact build, it features nine elements in eight groups and can capture 100MP resolution stills. The lens can reach shutter speeds of 1/2000s thanks to the upgraded leaf shutter. This lens is an ideal optic for any photographer with a configurable control ring and quick AF to MF swapping.

Exclusive Accessories

The Hasselblad Earth Explorer X2D 100C bundle is meticulously curated to enhance your creative journey. Along with the 55mm f2.5 XCD Lens, the kit includes an eco-friendly, hand-embroidered camera strap made from recycled materials, a precision UV filter for optimal lens protection, a versatile X System battery charging hub, and two high-capacity X System batteries, ensuring you're always ready to capture every moment.
