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.
Outdoor & Adventure — OM-5 (2022): The toughest camera at this price — IP53 weather sealing and 7.5-stop IBIS built for adventure photographers.
