X1D II 50C Hasselblad

X1D II Hasselblad Camera

the X1D II HASSELBLAD Camera that continues to keep its large sensor inside a compact body. Its electronic platform has been vastly improved. This includes a 3.6-inch touchscreen and a viewfinder with a much faster refresh rate.

Also the control of the menu through the user interface is much easier to use. To make the camera work smoothly with tablets like the iPad Pro and 2019 iPad Air models, the X1D II 50c has USB-C and Wifi connections. With the new Phocus Mobile 2 firmware you will achieve the definitive agility in your work processes. If you add to this the huge range of lenses available to this camera such as all the high-end optics of the XCD, HC/HCD, XPan and V system series, the creative possibilities are practically endless.

THE POWER OF PORTABILITY

Lightweight and compact, the X1D II 50c lets you carry the power of the medium format in a smaller body than the vast majority of cameras with a full-frame sensor. Each camera has been calibrated for its highest accuracy. Its huge 50-megapixel (43.8 x 32.9 mm) medium-format CMOS sensor delivers exceptional color depth and a wide dynamic range of up to 14 stops.

The technology HASSELBLAD Natural Colour Solution is integrated into the camera system, presenting tones that faithfully represent reality in full agreement with what the human eye perceives. Its lightweight and ergonomic design has already been awarded in the first generation of these cameras and perfectly combines function and form to create high quality images, with 16 bit of RAW images and – now – JPEGs in high resolution.

INTUITIVE CONTROLS

The bright rear touchscreen is 3.6 inches with 2.36 million pixels. The OLED viewfinder has 3.69 million pixels, so the X1D II 50c has been updated with a higher resolution, allowing a more accurate post-capture evaluation of each image. The magnification ratio of 0.87x has also been improved, so that the viewfinder is now larger, allowing you to see the larger image. As an innovation, the system menu is now also accessible through the viewfinder, allowing you to work with peace of mind even in full sun.

The menu interface copies the strengths of its predecessor such as image magnification and navigation with a single gesture and gives them a faster response. In addition, from the screen you can change the location and size of the autofocus by dragging or marking the proportional part with a finger on the screen.

Thanks to a reduced power-up time, a live view with a refresh rate of 60 fps, allowing an immediate shutter shot and a reduced time between frames, you enjoy an even more pleasant experience when working with the X1D II 50c.

STATE-OF-THE-ART ELECTRONIC SYSTEM

The renewal of the electronic platform makes the X1D II 50c a much more agile camera. Image preview, post-capture evaluation, as well as menu navigation. Everything works much faster.

With 60 fps in both the viewfinder and the rear screen and the high resolution of 1024×768 of the latter also the experience of the live view is much more pleasant and close to reality. Apart from this, the X1D II 50c offers high-resolution and quality JPEG images with the color profile HASSELBLAD. Slots for two SD cards support a much faster UHS-II standard and ensure optimal memory space for recording and the option to secure images on the second card while working.

TOTAL CONNECTIVITY

With built-in Wifi and a USB-C port, the X1D II 50c allows for a very comfortable workflow. You can export the image both wirelessly and wired using the updated Phocus Mobile 2 app.

It is also possible to shoot remotely by connecting it via the cable to the Mac or PC using the desktop version of Phocus. The integrated GPS module allows you to label the place of origin of the image. Two SD card ports ensure optimal memory space alternatives and the option to secure images on the second card while shooting. The X1D II 50c allows you to charge the battery from the camera through the USB port and with a computer, battery or power bank.
