Verdictwhich should you buy?
X2D 100C — Commercial, Studio & Fine Art Professionals: 100MP, IBIS, and phase-detect AF in the smallest medium-format mirrorless — the X2D 100C sets the benchmark for image quality.
M11-D — Street, Documentary & Photographic Purists: A rangefinder with no screen — 60MP, manual focus, total presence. The most focused camera ever made.
