LEAK: Hasselblad X1D Mark II Registered at Bluetooth.com

Hasselblad’s 50 megapixel dream, the relatively young X1D, is about to get a brother.

Just over a month ago Bluetooth.com reported a new listing for an X1D Mark II submitted by the Swedish camera maker.

No other details are available, but it starts us wondering just what new specs could we see in the new model?

Hasselblad did a major price drop on the X1D in 2018, dropping the list price almost 50% and bringing what many call “the finest camera I have ever held” closer to larger audience.

But the one complaint we heard over and over was the absence of 4K video in the original X1D-50c.  Will Hasselblad do what they should have done with the original X1D and give us 4K?  Time will tell.

No details yet on a release date.  As with other product launches we should see price drop(s) on the X1D as we get closer to an announcement.

The X1D is currently $6495 at B&H Photo, down from the $8995 launch price.

Have the scoop on X1D Mark II features or just want to share your wish list? Let us know in the comments below.
