Which should you buy?
Street, Documentary & Rangefinder Enthusiasts — Fujifilm X-Pro3 (2019): The most opinionated camera Fujifilm makes — a hidden screen and hybrid OVF enforce deliberate photography, rewarding photographers who slow down.
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.
All-Round Photography — Z50 II (2024): Nikon's updated APS-C body with 4K/60p, improved subject tracking, and a vari-angle screen — a solid all-rounder.
