Our editorial take on the Hasselblad X2D 100C
The Hasselblad X2D 100C represents a major milestone, finally delivering on the promise of a modern, usable, and incredibly powerful medium format mirrorless camera. It is a device built around a singular purpose: creating breathtaking still images. The 100-megapixel sensor produces files with astonishing detail, rich tonality, and the celebrated Hasselblad color science. This is a camera that encourages a more deliberate and thoughtful approach to photography, rewarding the user with some of the best image quality available on the market today. Its premium metal construction and minimalist Swedish design create a tactile and enjoyable shooting experience that feels truly special.
More than just a beautiful object, the X2D 100C is a genuinely practical tool thanks to critical modern updates. The addition of a responsive 5-axis in-body image stabilization system is a game-changer, making sharp handheld shots far more achievable. Likewise, the updated hybrid autofocus, while not the fastest in the industry, is a massive improvement over its predecessors and is perfectly capable for portrait, landscape, and studio work. Conveniences like the crisp tilting rear screen and the integrated 1TB high-speed SSD demonstrate a keen understanding of a professional photographer's workflow. The camera is not without its limitations, of course. For a hybrid shooter, the complete absence of any video recording capability is a non-starter and feels like a significant omission in today's market. The autofocus system will also struggle to keep up with fast-moving subjects. Ultimately, the X2D 100C knows exactly what it is, a masterclass in specialized still photography, and it makes very few apologies for what it is not.
- Stunning 100MP image quality with exceptional dynamic range and color
- Effective 5-axis in-body image stabilization (IBIS)
- Significantly improved hybrid phase-detect autofocus
- Premium, ergonomic build quality and minimalist design
- Convenient built-in 1TB high-speed SSD
- Bright, high-resolution tilting touchscreen
- Complete lack of video recording capabilities
- Autofocus, while improved, is slower than top-tier full-frame systems
- Extremely high price for the body and lenses
- Limited native lens ecosystem compared to competitors

Hasselblad has announced the X2D 100Cs, a new X system mirrorless medium format camera that features a 100MP sensor, improved AF, IBIS, and host of other features. The X2D is nimble and has the AF and IBIS the photography world now expects; it has convenience features like a tilting screen and onboard storage.
Hasselblad's X2D II 100C is poised to make medium format photography more accessible, challenging more conventional cameras by potentially offering a superior image-making experience.
The 907X-based system is one of the most unique in terms of modularity and offers a very simple and elegant solution for pairing a set of high-quality lenses to a high-resolution sensor. The size and weight benefits are among the most appealing traits of this camera system, making it a camera I was willing to carry at all times.
Nearly six years later, we now have a camera that lives up to the core dream of that camera. The image quality is, as you might expect, incredible and that is finally bolstered by a shooting experience that lives up to the modern expectations of a digital mirrorless camera.
Despite its many flaws, Hasselblad’s flagship camera is one of my favorite cameras ever.
Hasselblad has launched the followup to its first 100MP medium-format camera with a new model that improves on it in almost every way. The X2D II 100C promises better image quality, a brighter display, 10-stop stabilization and updated hybrid autofocus.
Hasselblad has come a long way since its medium-format mirrorless debut in 2016. The X2D 100C is a beautiful camera and an ultimate imaging machine in the right situation. The camera has few usability drawbacks, but if you want the best image quality and care about style, the Hasselblad X2D 100C is a fantastic option.
The Hasselblad X2D 100C is a fantastic camera that offers a unique and enjoyable shooting experience, delivering exceptional image quality.
