Hasselblad X1D-50c

The Hasselblad X1D-50c is the world's first medium format mirrorless camera. Its image quality is outstanding, but it's slow and the EVF leaves something to be desired.

Slim design with medium format image sensor. Incredible 16-bit Raw image quality. Growing lens library. Protected from dust and splashes. Large touch-screen display. USB-tethered operation. Leaf shutter lenses support 1/2,000-second sync. Dual memory...

Choppy EVF experience. Very slow startup and autofocus. Cannot transfer images via Wi-Fi. Limited JPG resolution. Cannot review images in EVF. Live view cuts out after 15 seconds. Underwhelming video experience. Battery life could be better.

The Hasselblad X1D-50c is a significant camera. It's an all-new form factor for Hasselblad, squeezing a huge image sensor into a svelte body. It doesn't sacrifice on image quality thanks to support for 16-bit Raw capture with more pixels than you'll...

The Hasselblad X1D: The camera you can't afford, but wish you could

The first medium-format mirrorless interchangeable-lens model is pretty small and light for its class.

Hasselblad X1D-50c Review

The Hasselblad X1D-50c is a beautifullly designed, impeccably built camera that offers medium-format image quality in a body that's comparable in size to a DSLR. Frustratingly, though, it's also quite a quirky product that feels rather unfinished in...

Hasselblad X1D Review

I don't know that anyone was ever prepared to say medium format was "tiny" or "lightweight," but here we are in 2017 and I spent the last couple of weeks carrying the Hasselblad X1D-50c across the country and up mountainsides like it was a point and...

Considering its unique position in the marketplace as the only mirrorless medium-format camera, the Hasselblad X1D is in some ways without any competitors. It provides its larger sensor and medium format image quality in a body that is actually smaller...

Hasselblad’s X1D puts other medium format cameras on notice

Back in June of last year, I previewed the Hasselblad X1D. Then, it was a pre-production model, which I had hoped would launch and become the powerful mirrorless medium format camera that it is now

All in all, I’m impressed and satisfied with the X1D. This isn’t the camera you’d go out and use for your next vacation, but if you do, send me some pictures.

A Fax Machine and a Photocopier Walk Into a Bar: The Hasselblad X1D

There's a terrible noise every time I click the shutter. Like a machine out of an office in the 80s clawing its way thirty years into the future to emit an obnoxious noise from this stunning camera in my hands.

Medium format images in a portable body!
