Which should you buy?
Commercial, Studio & Fine Art Professionals — Hasselblad X2D 100C (2022): 100MP, IBIS, and phase-detect AF in the smallest medium-format mirrorless — the X2D 100C sets the benchmark for image quality.
Landscape & Studio / High-Resolution — Z7 II (2020): The Z7 II is a landscape and studio camera first, everything else second. 45.7MP with weather sealing and dual card slots is a compelling package. If you need resolution, it delivers. If you don't, the Z6 II is the smarter buy.
Creative Filmmakers & Experimental Photographers — Sigma fp (2019): The smallest full-frame camera in the world — Cinema DNG RAW and L-mount flexibility in a pocket-sized body that rewards creative shooters.
