Which should you buy?
High-Res Stills & Landscape — X-H2 (2022): Fujifilm's highest-resolution X-mount body — 40MP, 8K video, weather sealing, and 7-stop IBIS for serious photographers.
Fine Art, Portrait & Entry-Level Medium Format — Hasselblad X1D II 50C (2019): The most accessible Hasselblad XCD body — 50MP medium-format quality for those who cannot stretch to the X2D 100C.
Street Portraits & Reportage — Ricoh GR IIIx (2021): APS-C in a shirt pocket with a 40mm perspective — the GR IIIx is the ideal street portrait compact for photographers who want a slightly tighter frame.
