Verdict

The Hasselblad X2D 100C is a premium medium format mirrorless camera equipped with a 100-megapixel backside-illuminated (BSI) CMOS sensor, 15 stops of dynamic range, and 16-bit colour depth. Its core characteristics include a 5-axis 7-stop in-body image stabilization (IBIS) system, a phase-detection autofocus with 294 zones, and a built-in 1TB SSD supplemented by a CFexpress Type B card slot. Major pros include its exceptional image quality with highly accurate colour reproduction via the Hasselblad Natural Colour Solution, a highly intuitive touchscreen interface, and rapid data transfer speeds via USB-C. On the downside, the camera completely lacks video recording capabilities, features a relatively slow autofocus tracking system, omits full weather sealing, and has a short overall battery life.
