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.

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.
