Hasselblad X2D 100C graphite grey 2025
Its 100MP medium-format sensor captures 16-bit color depth and 15.3 stops of dynamic range, while 10-stop IBIS stabilizes handheld shots. Hasselblad's Natural Color Solution with HDR delivers true-to-life hues, and the new AF-C system with subject detection and LiDAR improves focus tracking. Best for studio, product, and landscape photographers who demand uncompromising resolution and color fidelity.
