Which should you buy?

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.
Wildlife & Action — OM-1 II (2024): 120fps burst, 8-stop IBIS, and IP53 sealing — the most capable wildlife and action camera in the Micro Four Thirds world.
