Which should you buy?
Commercial, Studio & Landscape Professionals — Fujifilm GFX 100S II (2024): 102MP medium-format quality in the most accessible GFX body — the best entry point to the Fujifilm GFX system.
Sports, Wildlife & Hybrid Professionals — Nikon Z8 (2023): Z9 performance in a compact body — 45MP, 8K/60p RAW, and 20fps burst without the bulk or price of the flagship.
Creative Filmmakers & Experimental Photographers — Sigma fp (2019): The smallest full-frame camera in the world — Cinema DNG RAW and L-mount flexibility in a pocket-sized body that rewards creative shooters.
