Hasselblad’s X1D and X1D II 50C medium-format mirrorless cameras have gained some popularity because of their extreme portability while still offering extremely high image quality. The updated body is expected pretty soon, and it looks like Hasselblad is planning some major camera upgrades.
Rumors about photos and Chassimages is reporting that the French representative Hasselblad has confirmed the X2D medium format mirrorless camera is on the way (probably this summer) and that it will come with many new features and upgrades. The most notable upgrade will be the new sensor, which will double the resolution of the old 50-megapixel sensor, resulting in 100-megapixels. In addition, there will be three new lenses, improved autofocus, in-body image stabilization, a top LCD monitor, an adjustable rear monitor, and more. The original X1D was notable for being the first medium-format mirrorless camera and packing a lot of image quality in a very small and portable package, and in the meantime Fujifilm has made a number of options. notable in the GFX line. It looks like Hasselblad intends to tackle some of Fujifilm’s advancements with both significant technical advancements and quality of life improvements. I look forward to seeing X2D, hopefully soon!
