Which should you buy?
Street, Travel & Everyday — Fujifilm X100VI (2024): The best fixed-lens camera ever made — 40MP, 7-stop IBIS, film simulations, and a design icon. Wildly oversubscribed for good reason.
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 Full-Frame Photography — Z6 II (2020): The Z6 II is the Nikon most photographers should buy. It's balanced across every discipline — stills, video, autofocus, weather sealing — without overpaying for megapixels you don't need. The Z-mount glass is superb.
