The Hasselblad X2D II 100c vs. X2D 100c – Whats Changed?
The biggest question we’ve heard upon the release of the new Hasselblad X2D II 100c is, “What will be the major differences between X2D gen one and two?”
First, let’s look at the specifications. To save you time, we’ve only included the specs that differ.

The Extra Port
With the original X2D 100C, there was no way to connect a shutter release cord. However, a new port has been added to the X2D II, allowing for use with the Hasselblad X release cord.
The Grip Texture
In the words of our sales expert Steve Hendrix, “it’s all wrinkly!” When we first unboxed this new camera, we didnt know what to make of it, if anything at all. Outside of aesthetics, I do think this grip is, as one might say, “more grippy.” I dont know if it’s going to prevent a drop, but when holding both in your hand, there’s a noticeable difference, similar to how your hands get pruny in water for more traction.
The Tilting Screen
The tilt screen on the original X2D could only tilt upward to a maximum of 70 degrees. In the specifications, you’ll see the new X2D II 100C tilts upwards up to 90 degrees and downwards up to 42 degrees. However, the full range of the tilt screen can’t be appreciated with a specification or a still image.
Nothing does it justice like a GIF!
