Which should you buy?
Studio & Portrait Specialists — GFX 50S II (2021): Medium format quality at the most accessible price ever — 51MP detail and tonal richness no APS-C or full-frame body can replicate.
Collectors, Fine Art & V-System Users — Hasselblad 907X & CFV 100C (2023): An engineering icon — the 907X + CFV 100C bridges Hasselblad V lenses from 1957 with a 100MP digital back in a form that is unmistakably Hasselblad.
Professional Video & Hybrid Shooting — Lumix S5 (2020): The S5 is an outstanding video camera that also takes excellent stills. 10-bit 4K/60p, dual native ISO and 6.5-stop IBIS in a weather-sealed body is a compelling package. The contrast-detect AF is its main weakness vs Sony and Canon — but for controlled shooting it doesn't hold it back.
