When it comes to cameras, two of the most important specs for landscape photographers are resolution and dynamic range. In recent years, cameras from Fujifilm and Hasselblad have reinvigorated medium format by modernizing camera options and reducing their prices to the point that they have become a viable alternative to full frame. So, which company makes the best camera for the genre? This helpful video review compares the Hasselblad X2D 100C and Fujifilm GFX 100S to help you decide.
Coming to you from fototripper, this great video review takes a look at the Hasselblad X2D 100C and Fujifilm GFX 100S for landscape photography. It really is amazing how far along medium format options have come in just a few short years, with both cameras offering 102-megapixel sensors with loads of dynamic range along with a wide range of useful features. Perhaps the biggest differentiator is price. The GFX 100S is almost $3,000 cheaper than the X2D 100C, though the Hasselblad does offer some extra features, like 1 TB of internal storage, a viewfinder with higher magnification and resolution, and a larger rear screen. On the other hand, Fujifilm's option includes things like more focus points, a faster burst rate, two card slots, and more. No doubt, both are great options. Check out the video above for the full rundown.
Nice camera, but in most cases it's overkill.
First I noticed the Sony with maybe the FE 70-200mm F2.8 bravo! Next there are so many settings that affect jpeg only in all cameras, like the Sony setting D-Range Optimizer from auto to a selected range and many other that affect jpeg only. What I am trying to point out is unless you can match both cameras with the same settings that match your just wasting time in a lot of ways. As far as MP's another photographer who compared his Fuji to a Sony MP compare yes the Fuji did get more clarity with more seen but could only see it at 400 zoom. The other thing is Fuji has a different sensor X-Trans sensor has more green than others with Bayer array that has better or different color capture. So apple and oranges test. As far as the D-range there was a Nat Geo photographer who wanted his raws to be edited like the jpegs he sent prior but also did not know all settings for jpeg vs Raw, red faced after finding out, many pros never study the camera settings. As far as sharpness it is more in SW in the end. 1st image is when I discovered hand held bracketing with the A7RM2 and using the FE 12-24mm F4 in '17 when Sony only had a 12mm, 2nd image using the Voigtlander 10mm f.5.6 another unheard of mm but got a panorama like image but in 3:2 format while others stood on the edge doing panos in the wind, 3rd 12mm with A7RM2 getting detail on the far side of canyon as well as a pano look. 4th Bracketed with the A7RM2 showing the brightness in the darkest place of the canyon lit my hotels but also capturing stars a many. Not a Pro just a hobbyist who reads books on a camera's' settings.
Ultimate camera always depends on it's purpose. Most camera is good for online posting. However, for fun comparison I'd say Hassey is well designed vs Fuji is great utility.
