Its 50MP CMOS medium-format sensor is designed for portrait, landscape, and fine-art photography with excellent color rendering.
It supports Hasselblad XCD lenses and can use HC, HCD, XPan, and V system lenses through adapters.
Dual UHS-II SD slots are complemented by USB-C tethering, Wi-Fi, built-in GPS, and mini HDMI connectivity.
The Hasselblad X1D II 50C is a 50MP medium-format mirrorless camera with minimalist controls, interchangeable-lens support, an OLED electronic viewfinder, and a 3.6-inch touchscreen.
The reviewer concludes that while the camera has stunning design and medium format image quality, it remains hampered by sluggish response, an underpowered battery, and slow autofocus, making it less versatile than rival Fujifilm models.
The review highlights the camera's beautiful industrial design and modern interface while noting it is a specialized tool that, while more affordable than its predecessor, remains out of reach for most photographers. Individual aspect scores were given: Features 4.5/5, Handling 5/5, Performance 4/5, and Value 3.5/5.
Despite workflow issues with Hasselblad's proprietary files, the reviewer identifies it as their favorite camera, praising the incredible image quality and asserting that the camera and its lenses are worth the investment.
The hands-on review notes that the camera is a specialized tool that excels in controlled environments like a studio. It praises the improved startup time, better autofocus, and more accessible price compared to the original, though it acknowledges it is still not as fast as a standard DSLR or mirrorless camera.
