In this article we have collected images and videos about Hasselblad X1D to showcase the most interesting things about this unique medium format mirrorless camera. Hopefully, soon we’ll get our hands on X1D-50c at the studio and record a full-length review, testing it against Sony a7RII and Canon 5Ds cameras.

First Look: Hasselblad X1D-50c Mirrorless Medium Format Camera

Hasselblad X1D mirrorless camera

Hasselblad recently announced their new mirrorless camera with medium format sensor (43.8 × 32.9mm) — Hasselblad X1D. It’s the world’s first mirrorless medium format camera. Remarkably they put 50MP CMOS sensor into a relatively small body, smaller than most full frame 35mm cameras. Let’s take a closer look to this groundbreaking camera with real hands-on experience.

Obviously Hasselblad made camera mirrorless to achieve such small dimensions.

Sensor can produce 16-bit images with dynamic range up to 14 stops. The ISO range is 100 — 25600.

On the minimalistic back we can see large 3.0 inch TFT display and few buttons. The camera boasts an XGA electronic viewfinder for bright, crisp viewing.

Shutter speed range of 60 minutes to 1/2000th second — with flash synchronisation at all speeds.
