The next Fuji GFX-100 and Hasselblad X2D will have 100 MP sensor, have 6fps and record 4K video

Sony officially listed the three new medium format sensor specs. These sensors will be available from 2018. It’s certain the future Fuji GFX-100 and the Hasselblad X2D will use the IMx461 100MP sensor. This one can record 4K video at 30fps, take stills at 6fps 14bit and even record 8K at 18fps.

The IMX211 and IMX411 will be used by the future Phase One $50,00 digital backs.
