Redefining Medium Format Photography: Hasselblad’s Innovative 907X and CFV 100C

Hasselblad unveils the 907X and CFV 100C, a groundbreaking system anchored by the CFV 100C digital back. With a remarkable 100 MP resolution, this digital back revolutionizes three distinct camera platforms—the 907X, V System, and technical cameras—transforming them into formidable high-resolution tools.

The CFV 100C: Advancing Photography

Sensor Performance and Image Quality

At the heart of this innovative system lies the CFV 100C, featuring a 44 x 33mm 100 MP BSI CMOS sensor, akin to the one found in the X2D camera. This sensor delivers a generous 15-stop dynamic range, complemented by a 16-bit color depth and Hasselblad’s Natural Color Solution. The result is imagery brimming with intricate detail, seamless tonal gradations, and true-to-life color reproduction.

Enhanced Speed and Autofocus

The upgraded 100 MP sensor not only enhances resolution but also speed. With phase-detection autofocus spanning 94% of the image area, it delivers swifter, more responsive, and precise AF performance compared to its 50 MP forerunner. This system matches the AF capabilities of the X2D, incorporating face detection for finer portrait detailing.

Storage and Connectivity

Notably, the CFV 100C integrates a 1 TB SSD for fast and dependable storage (with write speeds of 2,370 MB/s and read speeds of 2,850 MB/s). Additionally, it includes a CFexpress Type B port for supplementary storage. The USB-C port has been boosted to 3.1 Gen 2 speeds, while wireless functionality is bolstered with Wi-Fi 6 capabilities.

Design and Functionality

In terms of physicality, the CFV 100C maintains its sophisticated design, featuring a tilting 3.2″ 2.36m-dot touchscreen that facilitates shooting from diverse angles. Despite these improvements, the camera body is slimmer and lighter compared to its predecessor. Notably, a significant inclusion is the hot shoe adapter, addressing one of the most frequently requested features from previous models.

907X System: Elegant and Adaptable

When combined with the CFV 100C, the 907X becomes a lighter rendition of its predecessor while preserving its streamlined design. This body serves as a straightforward yet efficient intermediary between the CFV 100C digital back and a range of Hasselblad lens systems, including the autofocus XCD lens system.

Essential Additions

The system accommodates accessories such as the revised 907X Optical Viewfinder and the 907X Control Grip. These upgrades offer enhanced usability and supplementary controls, enriching the overall shooting experience.

V System Modularity: Honoring Hasselblad’s Heritage

A standout feature of the CFV 100C is its ability to work with Hasselblad’s 500- or 200-series film bodies. Drawing inspiration from Hasselblad’s A12 film back, the digital back’s design facilitates effortless integration with vintage models. This adaptability extends to technical and view cameras through a V System interface plate, making it particularly beneficial for architecture and product photographers.

A Camera to Suit Every Purpose

The adaptability of the CFV 100C is truly remarkable. It can serve as a premium travel camera, seamlessly bridging the gap between digital and film when paired with a 500-series body, or as a precise instrument for technical photography. This versatility renders the Hasselblad 907X & CFV 100C desirable for a wide array of applications.
