If I could have one camera, money no object, theHasselblad X2D 100Cwould probably be it.
The current model is a 100MP medium-format camera with stunning minimalist design and stripped-back user experience.
The Hasselblad X2D 100C is a dream camera, but it’s not perfect and could easily be improved through a refined successor.
However, that’s pure speculation, and there’s no leaked specs to go off, yet.
I’d be all for a new Hasselblad camera, be it a modest or substantial upgrade.
Here are the top 5 upgrades I’m hoping for.
I hope the X2D 100C’s successor has largely the same design – it’s a stunning camera to look at and to use.
If image quality and form factor are fine as they are, what would I change?
My desired upgrades largely center on focusing and speed.
Being armed with reliable eye detection AF would make photoshoots way more relaxed.
Focusing on this occasion for this portrait taken with the X2D 100C is precise, but I found myself constantly second guessing if focusing is where I want it to be.
In addition to precise autofocus, I’d also like autofocus to be significantly faster and reliable.
Understandable given the huge file sizes, butFujifilm’s rivalGFX100 IIgoes at more than double that speed.
Imagine a 400MP file from a Hasselblad!
Video recording is completely absent in the X2D 100C.
To summarize: a faster processor, precise and speedier autofocus, refined handling, and video recording.
Those asks amount to a modest and entirely doable upgrade.
More lenses are always welcome, too.
