Hasselblad’s X2D II Specifications Leaked

credits: Hasselblad

Hasselblad’s upcoming X2D II just leaked, and it looks like a serious evolution of the original X2D 100C. At the heart of the camera is a 100-megapixel CMOS sensor that shoots in 16-bit RAW with up to 15 stops of dynamic range. One of the most notable additions is LiDAR-based autofocus, which should bring faster and more reliable focus performance, especially in low light or when using adapted manual lenses.

Face detection is also onboard now, making handheld portraits much easier. Speaking of handheld work, the camera features 5-axis in-body image stabilization (IBIS) rated for up to 8 stops, which puts it ahead of many competitors in the medium format space and allows for sharper results without a tripod. For storage, the X2D II includes a built-in 1TB SSD, but also features a CFexpress Type B slot for those who want fast external capture or additional space.

Hasselblad’s signature Natural Colour Solution (HNCS) remains, delivering accurate colour straight out of camera, especially in skin tones and subtle gradients. And naturally, the X2D II will support Hasselblad’s growing ecosystem of lenses, including XCD autofocus glass as well as legacy HC/HCD, V System, and even XPan lenses with the right adapters. An official release date has yet to be announced.
