Hasselblad X1D Mark II 50c camera and a new XCD 35-75mm f/3.5-4.5 lens officially announced





The previously rumored Hasselblad X1D Mark II 50c camera and a new XCD 35-75mm f/3.5-4.5 lens are now officially announced. As the name suggests, this is a Mark II version of the X1D and it will have a 50MP sensor as I already reported multiple times before. Some clickbait websites made up again fake stories/rumors about X1D Mark II with a 100MP sensor, which of course was obviously wrong.

Pre-orders are now open at Adorama and B&H.

Basic specifications:

  • 50MP 43.8 x 32.9mm CMOS Sensor
  • 16-Bit Color, 14-Stop Dynamic Range
  • Hasselblad Natural Color Solution
  • 0.87x 3.69m-Dot Electronic Viewfinder
  • 3.6" 2.36m-Dot Touchscreen LCD
  • Leaf Shutter System, 1/2000 sec Sync
  • ISO 100-25600, Up to 2.7 fps Shooting
  • Dual SD UHS-II Memory Card Slots
  • Built-In Wi-Fi, USB 3.0 Type-C
