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.

Professional Sports & Wildlife — Nikon Z9 (2021): The Z9 redefined what professional mirrorless could be — no mechanical shutter, 45MP stacked BSI, and 8K RAW in the most rugged Z body.

Wildlife, Birds & Outdoor Sports — OM System OM-1 Mark II (2024): OM System's most capable camera — 120fps AF burst, AI subject detection, and IP53 weather sealing make it the best-value pro wildlife camera.
