Hasselblad X2D 100C Overview

By B&H Photo's
Inspiration in Every Detail
Built for exploration, the Hasselblad X2D 100C is a medium format mirrorless camera featuring an impressive high-resolution 100MP sensor, upgraded phase-detection autofocus, all-new 7-stop-effective image stabilization, and a functional body design with 1TB of built-in SSD storage.
Earth Explorer Limited Edition
Nature's Palette - Design Details
Offering the same inspiring performance as the original X2D 100C, this unique, limited Earth Explorer edition of the mirrorless medium format camera has been styled to stand out and includes a series of accessories to get you started shooting.
  • The camera body is colored a distinct Tundra Brown; inspired by the Nordic nature of Hasselblad's homeland, the unique color is a combination of the grey-green vegetation and deep brown of the soil. The color was developed using the Hasselblad Natural Color Solution, which is also used by the camera itself, and is meant to evoke the rugged landscape, moss-covered tundra, and other natural details of the high-latitude ecosystem.
  • Part of a limited edition of 1000 kits, this camera has its unique edition serial number, from 0001 to 1000, engraved on the side of the body.
  • A unique Earth Explorer start-up screen is displayed each time the camera is turned on.
  • One final touch of uniqueness, the Earth Explorer edition camera comes with an exclusive strap that matches the distinct camera body color. This strap is made from eco-friendly recycled plastics woven together with a high-tech, skin-friendly fabric for comfort and includes a hand-embroidered 'Hasselblad' script on the exterior and 'Earth Explorer' text on the interior.
Kit Components
More than just the unique camera body, the Earth Explorer edition is a complete kit, comprising a lens, additional battery, charging hub, and UV filter.
  • An ideal all-purpose prime that's perfect for subjects ranging from landscapes to portraits, this kit includes the XCD 55mm f/2.5 V lens. This 43mm-equivalent lens offers a slightly wide-angle field of view, bright f/2.5 maximum aperture, Central Lens Shutter with 1/2000-sec sync speed, and a sleek physical design for all-day carry.
  • Protect the front element of the lens with the included 72mm UV filter.
  • A system intended for long shooting sessions, this kit includes two batteries along with a dual battery charging hub and 30W USB-C charger for easy power-ups.
X2D 100C Camera Features
100MP BSI CMOS Sensor
Engineered with a large 100MP BSI CMOS sensor, the X2D 100C features an extremely wide dynamic range of up to 15 stops along with vivid 16-bit color depth. The camera's 16-bit color depth can deliver up to 281 trillion colors, 64 times higher than 14-bit. When combined with the Hasselblad Natural Color Solution system, tonal transitions and skin tones show immense depth, detail, and clarity for lifelike image quality. This color management system also creates imagery with exquisite color and detail for exceptionally smooth tonal transitions reminiscent of analog film capture.
Fast and Accurate Phase Detection Autofocus
Designed with a newly developed phase detection autofocus (PDAF) system, the X2D 100C utilizes 294 PDAF zones to provide fast and accurate focusing at the press of a button. Additionally, an updated electronic platform enables a 3.3 fps continuous shooting rate to capture fleeting moments in fast-paced environments.
5-Axis 7-Stop In-Body Image Stabilization
Featuring 5-axis 7-stop in-body image stabilization (IBIS), the X2D 100C compensates for five different types of camera shake encountered during handheld shooting of stills. This precise and efficient system significantly reduces motion blur at slower shutter speeds and enables you to confidently capture handheld 100MP images in real-life scenarios.
Built-In SSD Storage
Equipped with a built-in 1TB SSD with a write speed up to 2370 MB/s, the X2D 100C can store approximately 4600 raw photos or 13,800 JPEG photos. Although ample storage is built-in, additional space can be utilized via the camera's CFexpress Type B card slot. Thanks to its high-speed storage performance, the X2D 100C is able to continuously shoot 16-bit raw images in Continuous Drive Mode, providing a stable and reliable continuous shooting experience.
Body Design and Other Camera Features
  • Machined from individual blocks of aluminum alloy, the upper and lower shells of the X2D 100C are precisely crafted and manually assembled by experienced technicians.
  • Powers on in 2 seconds and provides a shorter shutter lag and blackout time for a smooth operational experience.
  • Neat and intuitive Hasselblad User Interface (HUI) provides quick and efficient touch control for swipe, scroll, pinch/spread to zoom, and more.
  • Sensitivity range of ISO 64-25600 is available, and still files are saved in the Hasselblad 3FR raw file format or as JPEGs.
  • Optimized for use with XCD series of lenses, which offer an integrated central shutter system, capable of sync speeds up to 1/4000 seconds.
  • Electronic shutter speeds up to 1/6000 seconds.
  • TTL support for Nikon SB-300, SB-500, SB-5000, SB-700, SB-900, and SB-910 flashes, as well as Profoto A1, B1, and B2 flashes for Nikon.
  • USB 3.1 Gen2 Type-C connector can be used for file transfer, tethered shooting, or for in-camera battery charging via a computer, charger, or power bank.
  • Built-in Wi-Fi permits wireless sharing of files as well as remote camera control operation.

How does one change the AF point manually on this camera?
Asked by: Dustin
You can use the rear touch LCD screen. Unlike the X1D series screens, with the new Phase Detect there are far more points to select and operation of touch screen selecting those point is far smoother and more responsive. Or you can assign the scroll wheels to move the points. The Camera does NOT have a joystick or directional pad - however on the X2D (unlike the X1D series) I have to say it's not missed.
