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.
Lifestyle, Street & Casual Shooters — Nikon Zfc (2021): Nikon's most beautiful camera — FM2-inspired dials and styling wrapped around a capable modern sensor with Z-mount access.
Compact Travel & Content Creation — A7C (2020): The A7C proves full-frame doesn't have to be bulky. Excellent battery life, reliable Eye AF and a vari-angle screen in a pocketable body is a compelling combination for travel and content creators. The A7C II improved on it, but the original remains a strong value buy.
