No.
So no pixel shift at all? It's never been in the camera, but in Phocus desktop. Can anyone else confirm that the new X2Dii won't do any pixel shift? That would be a huge deal breaker for me.

There are absolutely no references to "multi-shot" (which is what Hassy calls it) anywhere in the marketing or manual, but as said, it's not a CAMERA feature, it's a PHOCUS feature. Tether up and test it.
The updated readme only says this much:
Supported products
Image files from all Hasselblad USB and FireWire based digital camera products are supported. Tethered operation will work with the same range of cameras except for the first generation Ixpress series.

Your question makes me think you have a IQ4150 or similar and want high MP images from the X2DII.
I can suggest to try the Fotodiox Vertex adapter (pick X to whatever lens you are using) and you can shoot 4 images yielding a square image of around 250mb per image. I put a CF lens on this type of adapter with my SL3 and got a lovely 157mb square image.
Of course one has the option of shooting a larger square image and then cropping it to the rectangle sized image you want, but then you loose mp, but still it could be over 200mp.

I was referring to 400Mp version. I have not tested whether the old multi-shot still works.

A friend contemplating getting the X2DII asked me the weight versus the SL3 and SL3S plus the M11+Viso where all cameras had battery and all the memory cards it would take.
X2DII=30.72 oz--100MP
SL3=30.90 oz--60MP
SL3S=30.86 oz--24MP
M11+Viso=25.61 oz--60MP
He also has a Nikon Z9=47.27 oz--45.7MP

On other forums some are complaining about no back button focus (BBF) while in AFs or AFc mode. The solution is simple-use the AF-D button near top of back of the body almost where my thumb rests. One click and it instantly focuses where ever one sets the focus point. Lighting fast on the 55V.

Can you decouple focus from the shutter? If you can't, that's not real BBAF.

My 35-100 just arrived. I’m going away for a few days but will do some comparison testing against the 35-75 and Fuji 45-100 next week. It’s a big week though. We’ve got less than 2 week until we move into our new home and I’m printing for an exhibition in October. Unfortunately time will be limited.
My initial impression is I don’t get why some are complaining about the size. It’s just not that big or heavy and balances on the camera nicely. I could easily sling this over my shoulder for a day.

To be clear, if you go to MF (not using a lens clutch but via the camera), you can still AF with the rear button. So true BBF. Exactly the same way Leica does it in the SL system.

I've been shooting the X2dii on a tripod for the past 3 days, using both the Release Cord X and the app. For several reasons, I am coming to prefer the app. It's just as fast, more discrete, provides a live-view image of the shot, and gives you independent control of camera settings.

People were arguing whether there is BBF in AF-C and AF-S modes. There isn't. Apparently, MF mode does not have subject tracking or something like that.

It sounds like you do not have a camera in hand. Correct?

Don't have the camera, but would only buy it if it can at least do the 100mp pixel shift. Just can't seem to find any confirmation anywhere whether it does or not. The 400mp version would be nice, but definitely not essential. For clothing photography pixel shift is the only reliable way to avoid moire.

As for weight actually the X2DII weighs slightly less than the SL3. So no complaints here.
