X2D II 100C Body Hasselblad

Why the Hasseblad X2D II 100C redefines autofocus performance ?

The Hasselblad X2D II 100C introduces a new AF-C mode that ensures reliable continuous autofocus, capable of detecting and tracking moving subjects with precision.

In AF-S mode, 425 PDAF zones across the 100MP sensor work seamlessly with LiDAR technology to deliver fast and accurate focusing.

An improved AF illuminator further enhances performance in low-light conditions while also serving as a self-timer indicator.

First medium format camera with true end-to-end HDR

With the X2D II 100C, Hasselblad introduces the first medium format camera offering true end-to-end HDR. Images are captured with exceptional detail and processed in-camera as HDR HEIF or Ultra HDR JPEG, delivering stunning results straight out of the camera. Thanks to the 1400-nit peak brightness touchscreen, HDR photos can be reviewed instantly, or seamlessly edited on iPhone and iPad via Phocus Mobile 2.

Advanced HNCS HDR Colour Performance of the X2D II 100C

Expanding on Hasselblad’s Natural Colour Solution, the X2D II 100C introduces HNCS HDR, delivering an even wider dynamic range and pushing natural colour rendition to new levels of depth and brilliance.

It manages challenging lighting with ease, reducing overexposure and preserving finer details.

HDR images can be reviewed directly on the bright 1400-nit touchscreen or displayed on any HDR-ready iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Android device.

For situations where SDR is preferred, the camera settings allow a quick switch between modes.

Why photographers buy the X2D II 100C for colour accuracy ?

The renowned Hasselblad Natural Colour Solution (HNCS) now evolves with high dynamic range technology in X2D II 100C, bringing end-to-end HNCS HDR for imagery that captures the world as your eyes truly see it.

Refining Hasselblad tones with HDR

Unlike traditional HDR methods that brighten shadows and compress highlights at the expense of contrast, the Hasselblad X2D II 100C takes a different approach.

Expanding from sRGB to the wider P3 colour gamut, its new imaging system delivers up to 3 stops of added dynamic range in-camera, and up to 4 stops when processing RAW in Phocus.

With a 1400-nit touchscreen, 75% brighter than before, the sensor’s full potential is revealed, preserving delicate highlight details while maintaining natural contrast.

After three years of development, HNCS HDR enhances Hasselblad’s renowned colour science, ensuring true-to-life tones whether shooting in HDR or SDR.

Highlights throughout your workflow

With the X2D II 100C, HNCS HDR enhances every step of the workflow, from capture to playback to post-processing. The camera records HDR HEIF or Ultra HDR JPEG files in-camera, ready to view instantly on the 1400-nit touchscreen.

Phocus Mobile 2 extends these capabilities, allowing not only viewing and editing of X2D II 100C HDR images, but also applying HNCS HDR processing to RAW files from the X2D 100C, X1D II 50C, CFV 100C, and CFV II 50C. Shared on HDR-ready platforms, these files display colours and tones with a new level of accuracy and depth, showcasing the full potential of HNCS HDR.

100MP medium format CMOS Sensor: Best choice for exceptional image quality

The X2D II 100C features an advanced 100MP medium format BSI CMOS sensor that reflects Hasselblad’s pursuit of the highest image quality.

With 16-bit colour depth, capable of rendering around 281 trillion colours, it captures the finest tonal transitions and subtle nuances.

A native ISO 50 and 15.3 stops of dynamic range give photographers greater control, ensuring detail is preserved from deep shadows to bright highlights with outstanding precision.

What are the other key features of the X2D II 100C ?

3.6-inch OLED two-way tilt touchscreen

The 3.6-inch OLED touchscreen delivers vivid HDR display with a peak brightness of 1400 nits for exceptional clarity. Designed for flexibility, it tilts upward by 90° and downward by about 43°, and can be extended outward to keep the viewfinder unobstructed.

5-Axis in-body image stabilisation

The 100-megapixel medium format sensor‘s extraordinary resolution demands equally extraordinary stabilisation.

Hasselblad engineers redesigned the entire stabilisation system, hardware, structure, and algorithms, delivering 5-axis, 10-stop in-body image stabilisation to X2D II 100C whilst maintaining the compact form photographers expect.

Capture sharp images handheld with the X2D II 100C

Stabilisation performance on the X2D II 100C is up to eight times greater than the X2D 100C when photographing distant subjects. Its advanced 5-axis, 10-stop IBIS enables handheld exposures of several seconds while maintaining sharp, detailed results. This makes it possible to capture long exposures, such as flowing traffic or moving water, without the need for a tripod.

Get the X2D II 100C for unmatched calibration and precision

Every X2D II 100C undergoes a dedicated two-hour calibration process, following Hasselblad’s strictest quality standards. Engineers fine-tune the system at pixel level, achieving an exceptional precision of 0.1 pixel.

The in-body stabilisation relies on high-accuracy gyroscopes and accelerometers, capable of detecting movements as small as 0.001 degrees. By studying real camera shake patterns across different users, Hasselblad has refined its stabilisation algorithms to perform reliably in real-world shooting. An integrated electronic compass even compensates for the Earth’s rotation, ensuring stable results anywhere in the world.

Designed for comfort, crafted for professionals photographers

The X2D II 100C features a graphite grey matte finish that combines durability with a refined, subtle texture, complemented by black lettering for a touch of elegance. Its optimized internal structure reduces weight by 7.5% compared with the X2D 100C, making the camera easier to handle, while the redesigned grip ensures comfortable use even during extended shooting sessions.

5D Joystick and custom buttons

A 5D joystick beside the touchscreen allows swift focus point selection and intuitive menu navigation. With two new custom buttons, now totalling eight, personalised control is always at your fingertips.
