Hasselblad X2D II 100C — Big upgrades: AF‑C, 10‑stop IBIS & true HDR
Hasselblad has updated its 100MP medium‑format camera with the X2D II 100C, improving almost every core area: autofocus, stabilization, dynamic range and display. The body is lighter and more ergonomic, and Hasselblad kept its signature high-end imaging performance while trimming the price slightly.

- Weight ~730 g (body only); price: $7,399 (body)
