hasselblad x1d

Hasselblad has just announced the X1D (B&H Photo Video, Adorama), a medium-format mirrorless camera with a 50MP CMOS sensor. With dust and weather-sealing the X1D isn’t afraid to step outside of the studio, and offers a 100-25600 ISO range and is capable of 1080/30p HD video. Its hot shoe is compatible with Nikon Speedlights and the camera can sync with flashes at its maximum shutter speed: 1/2000 sec.

The X1D uses a new lens mount, accepting XCD lenses. Two have been announced at launch: a 45mm F3.5 and a 90mm F4.5, with more to follow ‘shortly’ including a 30mm around Photokina.

Hasselblad X1D will be priced at $8995/£5990/€7900 body-only. A kit with 45mm F3.5 lens will cost $11,290, and bundled with both lenses the X1D will cost $13,985. The XCD 45mm F3.5 will cost $2,295 separately; the XCD 90mm F4.5 will cost $2695. Hasselblad plans to offer demos of the system in July, with delivery to customers in August.
