He has released the dates, which are almost confirmed. Not only that, the camera will have a Massive improvement in the autofocusing with the help of the new AF system. The upcoming camera incorporates a LiDAR sensor similar to the DJI RS4 gimbal, with approximately 76,800 ranging points, compared to the 294 face-detect autofocus points on the current X2D. Now, take a look at the image comparison, pricing, and detailed specification of the Hasselblad X2D II 100C

100MP BSI CMOS Sensor
- Engineered with a large 100MP BSI CMOS sensor, up to 15 stops along with vivid 16-bit color depth. The camera’s 16-bit color depth can deliver up to 281 trillion colors, 64 times higher than 14-bit.
Focusing System:
- Equipped with a LiDAR focusing radar built into the camera for super-fast focusing speed, comparable to mainstream full-frame cameras (Sony, Canon, Nikon).
- Capable of acquiring focus in very low light situations.
- Incorporates a LiDAR sensor similar to the DJI RS4 gimbal, with approximately 76,800 ranging points, compared to the 294 face-detect autofocus points on the current X2D.
Design Changes:
- New 5D joystick button (clickable, allowing up, down, left, right, and press actions).
- One additional customizable button at the back.
- Shutter control port added next to the USB-C port (3.5mm plug for shutter release).
- Color temperature sensor repositioned to accommodate the LiDAR focusing system.
CPU Upgrade:
- Upgraded CPU to handle the increased load from the 76,800 LiDAR ranging points and potentially support in-camera multi-shot and Hasselblad noise reduction algorithms.
Storage:
- Retains CF Express Type B slot.
- Features an M.2 2230 SSD drive.
Battery:
- Interchangeable with the current X2D battery, with identical pin layout and size.

New Lens Announcement
Release: A new lens is expected to be announced alongside the X2D Mach 2 on August 26, 2025.
Lens Speculation:
The lens is likely designed to complement the LiDAR focusing system, which has a limited range (up to 20 meters, based on the DJI RS4 gimbal).
Expected to be compact to avoid obstructing the LiDAR sensor.
Likely suitable for portraiture or street photography rather than wide-angle landscape shots.
Possible Lens Options:
V Series: 65mm f/2.5, weighing approximately 400g, offering a 300g weight reduction compared to the older 65mm f/2.8 lens.
P Series: 60mm f/4.0, weighing around 300g, designed for portability and fitting between the existing 45mm and 75mm P series lenses.
E Series: 35-75mm variable aperture zoom, lighter than the existing 1.1kg 35-75mm zoom lens, potentially covering higher ranges.
Rationale:
The lens is expected to fill the gap between the 55mm and 75mm lenses in Hasselblad’s lineup, equivalent to approximately 50mm in full-frame terms.
Larger lenses (e.g., the existing 35-75mm or 65mm f/2.8) may block the LiDAR sensor, making a compact design essential.
The lens will likely leverage the LiDAR system for enhanced focusing performance.
