Hasselblad has announced a 100MP version of its CFV digital camera back, which combines with the 907x camera to create the smallest medium format camera on the market.
The CFV 100C back contains most of the camera functions, meaning the 907x is almost an adaptor plate with a shutter release button. It natively accepts Hasselblad’s XCD lenses, designed to match the CFV’s 44 x 33mm sensor, but can also accept adaptors to mount HC/HCD lenses, V-series lenses or XPan lenses.
The CFV 100C is built around the same BSI CMOS sensor as the X1D 100C, which Hasselblad claims delivers 15 stops of dynamic range. The chip features on-sensor phase detection and offers face detection autofocus. It has 1TB of built-in storage and accepts CFexpress Type B memory cards. It has a tilting 3.2″, 2.36M dot touchscreen and can be used with a new hotshoe adapter that allows TTL flash metering when used with Nikon-compatible flashes.
Like the closely related X2D 100C, the CFV 100C has an ISO range of 64 up to 25,600 and captures 16-bit Raw files (which Hasselblad wants to market as capturing trillions of colors). It can also shoot 10-bit HEIF files.
When combined with the 907x camera and XCD lenses, the CFV 100C delivers a compact, autofocus medium format camera styled after Hasselblad’s classic 6×6 film cameras (now know as the V Series). This gives access to a 14-strong lens lineup that extends from the 16mm equiv XCD 4/21 up to the 105mm equiv XCD 2.8/135, all of which use in-lens leaf shutters capable of speeds up to 1/4000 sec with flash sync at any shutter speed. The CFV 100C with 907X camera weighs just 620g (21.9oz) without a battery or memory card (roughly 780g / 27.5oz with a battery).
The CFV back uses the standard Hasselblad magazine mount, so can also be used with the majority of other Hasselblad bodies, including 500 and 200-series manual focus cameras (though not SWC fixed-lens wideangle cameras). Its use of the 44 x 33mm medium format standard means there’ll be a 1.27x crop, relative to 645 film or a 1.21x crop, relative to the larger 53.5 x 40mm digital medium format sensors Hasselblad previously used in its H6D-100c camera.

The Hasselblad CFV 100C will be available with the 907x for a recommended price of $8199 or €7799 in Europe.
HASSELBLAD UNVEILS THE 907X & CFV 100C
ENHANCING MEDIUM FORMAT PHOTOGRAPHY WITH VERSATILITY & UNMATCHED IMAGE QUALITY
Hasselblad, a pioneer in medium format photography, introduces the 907X & CFV 100C, a fusion of modular design and advanced technologies that offer three distinctly different photographic abilities, presenting the most compatible Hasselblad 100-megapixel medium format camera to date. Building on its iconic design, the 907X & CFV 100C has been upgraded with a new 100-megapixel back-illuminated sensor, doubling the resolution of its predecessor, the 907X & CFV II 50C.
A MODULAR DESIGN. THREE APPLICATIONS.
THE 907X CAMERA BODY
The 907X & CFV 100C combine to create the smallest and most powerful medium format camera in the industry. This dynamic combination is compatible with all XCD, HC/HCD, and Xpan lenses, uniting high optical lenses to produce the best image straight out of the camera.
HASSELBLAD V SYSTEM FILM CAMERAS
The CFV 100C breathes new life into Hasselblad V System cameras, such as the 500 and 200 series. Photographers can use their beloved film camera with the powerful CFV 100C sensor to produce the same picture quality of the digital age while also providing the unique experience of shooting at waist level. The CFV 100C keeps a classic timeless in every sense of the word.
TECHNICAL CAMERAS
With the CFV 100C, technical film cameras will reap the benefits of its 100-megapixel sensor, helping photographers, museums, or institutions meet rigorous and precise photographic needs. The 3.2-inch touchscreen display and 2.36 million resolution, with its superior flexibility and colour richness, provide photographers with an easy-to-use experience and a cost-effective digital solution for a technical camera.
