Hands-on with Hasselblad X1D

Obviously the star of the show is the 50-million-pixel CMOS sensor. It is the same 43.8x32.9mm sensor that is used in the 50c backs for the H6D, as well as the Pentax 645Z and Phase One's IQ3 50 backs. In this body it looks gigantic and it really fills the whole of the area behind the mount. Hasselblad says that nothing has been done to the sensor physically, but that internal processing has allowed the top ISO setting to be increased to 25,600.
