Continuing to take medium format out of the studio the Hasselblad X1D II 50C is a sleek and exceptionally capable mirrorless camera characterized by its thoughtful design and powerful imaging capabilities. This second-generation X System camera shows a revised and enhanced feature-set designed to quicken performance and make overall operation even more intuitive and streamlined. At the core of the X1D II remains the large 43.8 x 32.9mm 50MP CMOS sensor which yields high-resolution imagery with a wide 14-stop dynamic range 16-bit color depth and an ISO 100-25600 sensitivity range. This sensor utilizes Hasselblad's Natural Color Solution too which delivers realistic pleasing color tones for great consistency and smooth tonal transitions. An updated electronic platform also enables a faster 2.7 fps continuous shooting rate as well as a faster startup time reduced shutter lag and blackout times and more responsive autofocus performance. Balancing the imaging capabilities the X1D II is also distinguished by an updated body with a larger 3.6 2.36m-dot touchscreen LCD and a 0.87x-magnification 3.39m-dot OLED electronic viewfinder. These work in concert to provide more comfortable and easy viewing means for shooting in a variety of conditions. The X1D II also retains the signature physical design with an especially deep right-hand grip and smooth aluminum alloy body. The svelte overall form factor is due in part to the leaf shutter design of the XCD lenses which obviates the need for a camera-based shutter system and affords full flash sync throughout the shutter speed range up to 1/2000 sec. Additionally built-in Wi-Fi permits wireless remote control and file transferring via Phocus Mobile 2 and an integrated GPS module enables recording location data for geotagging.
