Hasselblad unveils modular 907X 100C medium format camera with 100 MP sensor and 1 TB SSD
With the CVF 100C, Hasselblad has introduced a new digital back for the 907X, upgrading the camera with the 100 MP medium format sensor already known from the Hasselblad X2D. This sensor records photos at a resolution of 11,656 x 8742 and a dynamic range of 15 stops.
The new Digital Back is around 15% lighter, weighing 460 grams, and now has an integrated 1 TB SSD on which photos can be stored in addition to the CFexpress Type B memory card, although there is no longer a dual SD card reader as in the previous model. A RAW photo requires an average of 206 MB, so the internal SSD holds around 4850 images, which can be transferred to a computer via USB-C (10 Gbit/s).
The camera has both an electronic and a mechanical shutter and can control the central shutter of compatible lenses. All Hasselblad XCD lenses can be used in conjunction with the 907X; the HC, HCD, XPan and V lenses are compatible via adapter. Apart from the 907X, the CFV 100C Digital Back can also be used with most Hasselblad V cameras that have been on the market since 1957.
In combination with the 907X and XCD lenses, autofocus can be used, while the fold-out 3.2 inch touchscreen with its resolution of 1024 x 768 serves as a viewfinder. The battery is said to achieve a runtime of 420 photos (CIPA) and is charged directly in the camera via a USB-C cable. Photos can also be transferred wirelessly to an iPhone or iPad via Wi-Fi in conjunction with the Phocus Mobile 2 app.
Price and availability
The Hasselblad 907X is on offer in a bundle with the CFV 100C Digital Back at a recommended retail price of $8199.00, making the new model $1800 more expensive than the 50 MP 907X 50C.
