The Hasselblad X2D 100C — the 2022 100 MP medium format mirrorless, the first Hasselblad with IBIS — stores its shutter count in 3FR RAW files. Read it via ExifTool or Phocus. 3FR is not yet supported in the shuttercount.app browser tool.
Check Shutter Count →The Hasselblad X2D 100C (September 2022) represents a landmark in the brand’s history: the first camera Hasselblad has ever fitted with in-body image stabilisation. The 7-stop, 5-axis IBIS system makes the X2D far more practical for handheld medium format shooting than any previous X-series or V-series body. The 100 MP BSI CMOS sensor (44×33 mm) delivers up to 15+ stops of dynamic range, while the dual card system (CFexpress Type B + SD UHS-II) and optional 1 TB internal SSD address real-world professional workflow needs.
Hasselblad does not publish an official shutter rating for the X2D 100C. Based on its professional medium format class, the estimated mechanical lifespan is approximately 200,000 actuations.

For commercial photographers, landscape artists, and fine-art printmakers who need exceptional image quality and colour fidelity, the X2D 100C offers compelling value on the used market. Its 100 MP sensor, 15+ stop dynamic range, and Hasselblad Natural Colour Solution (HNCS) colour profile deliver results that are difficult to match at any price. The main risks on used examples are IBIS calibration drift (test before buying) and Hasselblad service costs.
The X2D 100C uses Hasselblad’s X-mount, compatible with all XCD lenses (both XCD and XCD Aspherical ranges) and HC/HCD lenses via the XH adapter. The XCD lens range covers focal lengths from 21mm to 135mm (in medium format equivalent terms approximately 17–107mm full-frame equivalent), with apertures as fast as f/2.5 on the XCD 45P. Third-party lens support via adapters is limited.
The X2D 100C is a dedicated still-photography camera and does not support video recording — a deliberate design choice by Hasselblad. All actuations are from still photography, so the shutter count is a direct indicator of photographic use, unlike hybrid cameras where video recording does not increment the mechanical counter.
The X2D 100C’s 7-stop, 5-axis IBIS is a first for Hasselblad and operates in conjunction with XCD lenses to provide optical image stabilisation data. In practice, the IBIS makes handheld shooting at 1/10s to 1/20s reliably sharp with medium-length XCD lenses, dramatically expanding the X2D’s usability beyond tripod-only work that characterised earlier Hasselblad medium format cameras.
