Hasselblad X2D 100C – finally announced. The camera uses the same sensor we have seen the Fuji GFX 100. The pixel count of the sensor is 11,656 x 8742 (almost 102MP). The camera is able to capture 16-bit files with 15 stops of dynamic range. The X2D’s ISO range runs from 64–25,600. AF speed by 66% over the X1D II 50C. The Hasselblad X2D 100C features 294 phase detection points across 97% area of the sensor. X2D offers up to 7 stops of stabilization, so literally, it will allow you to handheld shooting at shutter speeds for as long as one second.
Hasselblad X2D features built-in 1TB SSD – 4004 Raw+JPEG images, 5331 Raw files, or a cool 16,000 JPEGs. Having a dual card slot always helps in case of card failure while attending a pro event, so I hope Hassy also allows us to have an online backup or something similar to that for more secure shooting.
The Hasselblad X2D 100C is available starting today through Hasselblad’s shop for €8,699 / £7,369 / ¥54,900 including VAT and $8,199 excluding sales tax.

Hasselblad X2D 100C Press Release
Hasselblad Launches New Flagship Camera and Three All-New Lenses
Introducing the X2D 100C, XCD38V, XCD 55V and XCD 90V
After the groundbreaking success of the X1D-50c and its second iteration, the X1D II 50C, Hasselblad unveils the powerful X2D 100C, along with three new lenses to the XCD family, the XCD 2,5/38V, XCD 2,5/55V, and the XCD 2,5/90V, providing the ultimate experience for content creators. Hasselblad X2D 100C – Inspiration in Every Detail Hasselblad’s next-generation mirrorless medium format digital camera, the X2D 100C, has been engineered to bring substantial technological enhancements to image quality, camera handling, and system responsiveness. Designed in a new dark grey tone body of machined aluminium, the X2D 100C houses a 100-megapixel back-side illuminated (BSI) (43.8 × 32.9 mm) CMOS sensor, delivering up to 15 stops of dynamic range with a 16-bit colour depth. The X2D 100C enables a creative experience unimaginable in the past. It empowers content creators to capture the intricacies of an image’s highlights and shadows, utilising the Hasselblad Natural Colour Solution (HNCS). Working alongside the new 5-axis, 7-stop in-body image stabilisation system (IBIS), handheld image capture is possible in the widest range of conditions. Hasselblad independently developed its own IBIS for the X2D 100C in order to meet the stringent requirements for stabilising a 100MP sensor. Keeping size and weight in mind for easy portability, the X2D 100C is the most compact medium format IBIS solution on the market.1
With 294 Phase Detection Autofocus (PDAF) zones, the system ensures the subject is rapidly located and brought into focus. The X2D 100C captures files in 3FR RAW and full-size JPEG, and the cutting-edge, built-in 1TB SSD storage and CFexpress Type B card support delivers a high capture rate for fast-moving subjects.
The X2D 100C features an 0.5-inch OLED Electronic Viewfinder (EVF) with 5.76-million dots, a high magnification of 1.00x with a refresh rate of 60fps, which supports electric refractive error correction to ensure the whole display is sharp and bright, from corner to corner.2 A 1.08-inch colour top display and a 2.36MP, 3.6-inch tilting, touch-capable rear display delivers access to all of these new imaging technologies whilst keeping the intuitive Hasselblad User Interface (HUI) and Scandinavian style of the X System. The battery has a CIPA rating of 420 shots and supports PD 3.0 fast charging.3 Additionally, the X2D 100C is compatible with Phocus, Hasselblad’s free image processing software.
“When developing the X2D 100C, our goal was the same as always, just as Victor Hasselblad himself made decades ago: build a better camera,” said Bronius Rudnickas, Hasselblad Marketing Manager. “This commitment drives us to explore the possibility to improve its performance from all aspects.”
¹ Among interchangeable-lens mirrorless digital cameras with a 55mm-diameter CMOS sensor (according to a Hasselblad market survey on 1 March, 2022).
² Magnification: approximately 1.00x with the XCD 65 at infinity, –1 m-1.
³ To charge via PD protocol, the charging cable and power source must be PD-compatible.

We are comparing these two cameras based on subscribers’ requests, Canon R7 is a recent announcement from Canon. The Canon R7 camera uses Canon RF Mount. The camera arrived with very impressive core specifications, for still shooters as well as video shooters.
The Sony A7 III camera was announced back in Feb 2018, it’s almost 4 years more. Sony A7 III was a very popular camera back in 2018, but A7 III sales were hit by the Nikon Z6 Mark II camera announcement. We have seen after the announcement of the Z6 Mark II camera, wedding photographers specifically in the Asian region now preferring up the Nikon Z6 Mark II combo with a 24-70mm F4 coverage lens and an 85mm F1.8 Prime.
The big issue is that Sony A7 IV arrived at a higher price slot and it’s not a true replacement for the Sony A73. We need a perfect replacement for the Sony A73 camera in the same price range.
Canon R7 camera now catching up to many photographers’ eyes, due to its high-resolution 32.5MP sensor, super fast DPAF 2nd generation AF system, and ability to record 40bit 4k 60p videos in CLog.
In this comparison, we will try to find out the best camera between the two, in terms of image quality, AF speed, and Video performance.
1. Sensor
So, we have two entirely different sensors here, the sensor sitting inside the Canon R7 camera is a 1.6X Crop sensor / APS-C Sensor and the Sony A73 camera has a full-frame BSI CMOS sensor. Despite being an APS-C Sensor the resolution is 32.5 MP, which is higher than of Sony A7 III full-frame sensor with a 24MP sensor.
In general, when we compare a full-frame sensor with an APS-C we do assume that since we have a Fullframe sensor on the other side so we will also have better low-light performance and better detail capturing ability from the full-frame, but here you have nothing to assume.
We will test both sensor performance at High ISO and as well as in base ISO for details. And then we will find out the best sensor for you.
 image credit https://www.dpreview.com/reviews/image-comparison? As you can see the detail(s) capturing ability of the Canon R7 is more compared to Sony A7 3 camera. At base ISO 100, Canon 32.5 MP APS-C CMOS Sensor is able to grasp more details in the image compared to Sony’s A7 III 24.2 MP Fullframe sensor.
At a high ISO test, you can clearly see the full frame advantage, with the Sony full-frame sensor we are getting roughly 1 stop of low-light advantage. So, if ur shooting mostly in a low-light environment Sony A7 III will be more helpful.
2. Fast AutoFocus
Both cameras feature an advanced autofocus system, the Canon R7 features Dual Pixel CMOS AF II coming straight out from the Canon R3. The Canon R7 blazing fast AF system is capable to record 30FPS with will time AF/AE active. The Sony A7 III camera does have a fast AF system but lags behind Canon R7.

As you can see in the table above, the Canon R7 features a massive number of 5K AF points which is grouped further into 651 AF zones, and 4.8K AF points of the R7 camera remain active when you shoot videos in 16:9 ratio. The AF sensitivity of the Canon R7 camera goes down to -5Ev, helpful to detect AF in low-light conditions. Among both, Only R7 has the possibility of performing focus stacking in the camera.

3. Video Specifications
Canon R7 is capable of recording 4K up to 60p and provides 10-bit 4:2:2 for internal recording. Sony A7 III remains limited to 8 bit recording and 4k video recording mode up to 30fps. The Canon R7 with its 32.5 MP APS-C sensor can record 4K, without a crop, up to 30p, oversampling from a 7K area (due to the higher megapixel count on the sensor to start with). But also keep in mind
If you want 4K 50/60p on the R7, you have two options:
- no crop, but the quality decreases since the Camera starts using the pixel binning / line-skipping method
- record on a 3840×2160 – Full sensor readout mode, which translates into a more severe 1.8x crop. The latter means a small portion of the sensor is used to record the video.
| Max Bit Rate |
|
| Canon R7 |
340 Mbps @ 10 bit (4k 60p HQ) |
| Sony A7 III |
100 Mbps @ 8 bit (4k 30p) |
10 Bit matters, as well as bit rates, the more bit rate ur getting from your camera, is directly proportional to the video quality.
4. Image Stabilization
Canon R7 features an advanced mechanical image stabilization unit, R7 IBIS system corrects up to 7 stops of camera shake when shooting handheld. This 5-axis system can be also used in conjunction with OIS lenses to compensate for up to 8 stops of camera shake depending on the specific lens in use. Sony A7 III IBIS is effective up to 5 Stops.
As we all know that Sony A7 III is free from overheating under normal conditions. If you watch Gordon Laing’s hands-on on YouTube, the video test shows even the Canon R7 is free from overheating as well and you can record up to an hour of 4k 30p high-quality videos without any issues.
6. Lenses ECO System
As we all know Sony has an open Lens ECO system, we have a lot of options from Sony as well as they are somehow affordable too. In, Canon we do have some limitations. Although you can use DSLR lenses with an EF to EOS R adapter. But, that’s not so recommended if ur a Sports shooter or cinematographer.
It depends upon you, if ur able to find out your own usable lenses under budget then it’s super awesome, otherwise better to shift to Sony.
But, don’t worry at all I have already written the best lenses for the Canon R10 guide, you can select any of these lenses for Canon R7 camera too. And also we have the Best lens guide for the Sony A73 camera.
Conclusion
Despite having sensor size limitations, Canon R7 does have the ability to capture more details, a better AF system, and also features advanced video recording modes with a 10-bit RAW recording option. On the other, we have a Sony A73 camera with 1 stop better low-light performance and open lens ECO system.

We have just spotted a Sony entry-level Mirrorless camera. The camera surfaced from Sony patent files. The camera shows Sony’s new Menu system at work (We all know that even the ZV-E10 uses the old menu system) and a built-in compact flash unit like the Sony A5100 without any hot-shoe on top.
Since the camera lacks a hot-shoe mount we are expecting it to be an entry-level camera for beginners, will be placed below the Sony ZV-E10 camera, and be more affordable too.
Very Large Handgrip design with infrared sensor – It’s really surprising to see such a large handgrip design in Sony
Now let’s have a look at the Display and control area of the camera, you can clearly notice a vari-angle display with Sony new menu system.
Nikon Z30 Competitor?
We already have Nikon Z30 in the market as Nikon’s affordable entry-level Mirrorless camera and Canon is planning Canon R100 (Spec Leaked). Sony may heat up the entire competition by adding more affordable solutions to the market.

- Canon R1 – Canon Flagship Camera / Development announcement on Q4 of 2022
- Canon R2 – No info available
- Canon R3 – Canon FF Sports / Wildlife camera
- Canon R4 – No info available

- Canon R10 – Replacement of Canon M6 Mark II
- Canon R100 – Canon Rebel Series arrival in RF Mount @ Q4 of 2023
2. Canon EOS R1 Arrival Date
We are keeping away the Canon R1 camera from our expectation list since we have a lot of info related to the upcoming flagship camera and we are almost sure, that the development announcement is about to happen in Q4 2022 and a full-fledged announcement will happen in the beginning months of 2023.
Canon EOS R1 Specification: Initial rumor suggests that canon does have working prototypes of the Canon R1 camera with a 45-megapixel stacked CMOS sensor. The camera can capture 45 megapixels of images at 30 frames per second with unlimited buffer memory and is also capable of recording 8k videos up to 60 fps. But yes keep in mind camera makers always test several prototypes of a flagship camera before putting it over on the production line. We are keeping an eye on rumors and as soon as we get more information related to them we will be posting on this website.
3. Canon R9
Now let’s talk about the Canon EOS RP replacement. This is not exactly an expectation. it’s a kind of a tip we have, Canon EOS RP camera replacement name is Canon R9. We are not expecting a big jump in the core specs of the camera. All it will have a mediocre update with Digic x image processor, and proper 4K video recording mode up to 30fps.
4. Canon R8
The possible name of the upcoming Canon EOS R camera successor would be Canon R8. And again if you talk about the specification then yes we are again expecting a mediocre update with an improved image processor and possibly the same sensor with updated microlenses
5. Canon R100
According to the latest rumor surfaced over the web Canon is expected to announce the Canon R100 camera in Q3-Q4 of 2023. The Canon R100 camera will replace the Rebel series of DSLRs. And will provide a more affordable option than the Canon EOS R10.

I get many requests from my subscribers and readers to suggest the best wedding photography camera and lenses for 2023. so in this article, you will get all the essential details related to camera gears and lenses required for wedding photography.
One of the most important parts of wedding photography or cinematography is the skill of the photographer. And the second most importantly the gear you have. So, in the article, we will discuss the best possible wedding photography gear you can buy with the budget you have. This is a custom-tailored wedding photography guide made for every budget.
SELECTING Lenses for Wedding Photography
For wedding photography, we generally recommend two lenses (at least you should have these two lenses) and the lenses are, the coverage lens and the portrait lens.
Coverage Lens
The coverage lens is specifically recommended for the wedding event when you cover the ring ceremony, group photo shoot, and other important rituals performed during that day.
Portrait Lens
For Pre-wedding shoot and boudoir photography, you need a portrait prime lens. So in this article, we are recommending you two basic essential lenses for every camera that falls in your budget range.
So let’s talk about the best wedding photography camera of 2023 let’s begin with the list. If you looking for a super budget wedding Photography guide and no matter what you get in your hand it should be a perfect system.
We are keeping DSLR recommendations
As usually you know the DSLRs are outdated and the DSLR makers are cannibalizing their DSLRs. The research and development on DSLR and their lenses also stopped so it’s worthless to recommend any DSLR camera for wedding photographers in the year 2023. in this article, we will be keeping out the DSLR cameras and that’s essential too.
1. Best Nikon Camera and Lens for Wedding Photo and Video
Nikon Z6 Mark II is the best camera for Wedding Photography and Video in 2023. If you are a Nikon shooter, we highly recommend that you get associated with Nikon Z6 Mark II in 2023.

Optional – More affordable package – Nikon Z6 Mark II with 24-70mm F4 at Amazon.com
Nikon 85mm F1.8 Lens for Potraits Amazon.com | B&H Store |
The best wedding photography camera for the year 2023 is Nikon Z6 Mark II. Nikon Z6 Mark II camera is a very reasonable price camera, packed with amazing core specs. In that price range, no other camera maker offers such core specifications at such a price point.
Yeah, there was a time when we were recommending the Sony a73 camera to our users, but after the announcement of the Z6 mark 2 camera, everything changed. The Camera arrives with the enhanced core specification compared to the a73 so after that, we have started recommending the Z6 mark 2 camera.
Whether you are coming from Nikon D7500 or D750 this is a surprise upgrade for you. Nikon Z6II kit with the wonderful 24-70 f/4 S lens is a perfect combo for a wedding photographer. The IBIS in the Z6II is the best I ever used, I can handhold all the way down to 1/5th of a second with a 50mm lens! I don’t know what else to say about it, it’s an awesome camera and it works exactly the way it should. Easy to handle for my large hands and easier to walk around with.
| Nikon Z6 Mark II Pros |
Nikon Z6 Mark II Cons |
- Excellent image quality
- Best in class for oversampled 4K Video
- N Log 10 bit, HDR
- Professional Design and Controls
|
- None (best in class camera)

2. Best Sony Camera and Lens for Wedding Photo and Video
Sony A7 IV is the best Sony Camera for wedding photography and video. The Sony A7 IV features an amazing 33 MP resolution and allows you to capture 10-bit 4k Oversampled videos. If you are interested in Sony cameras then we highly recommend you get the Sony A7 IV camera for wedding photography and video purpose.
Sony A7 IV with Tamron 28-75 G2 Lens and a portrait lens
Sony A7 IV is an excellent camera for wedding photographers when paired with Tamron 28-75mm F2.8 Lens. The 28-75mm F2.8 acts as an event coverage lens as well as a candid photography lens. Even if you are a Canon user feel free to migrate since now you guys have S-Cinetone support that will generate perfect skin tones while shooting portraits or recording a video.
The problem with Sony A74 is the overheating issues. if you live in the Asian region or somewhere near the equator and the summer season temperature ranges somewhere around 35° to 40 degrees centigrade, then recording videos with an A74 camera will be not so easy. You will regularly get heat warnings and auto shut-down after a max of 25-30min of recording 4k videos. even after increasing its threshold value. For wedding Cinematographers, those who are near the equator or the summer temperature of your region ranges above 35 degrees and above you should have another option for cinematography or videography like we have the Sony A7C camera or the Sony A7S III.

What Canon users say about Sony A7 iV
Sony A7IV after regular use of my Canon DSLRs. The A7IV is portable, lightweight and versatile, allowing me to move from taking stunning photos to recording video content for my clients which range from fashion to hospitality. Moving from photo to video shooting is smooth and does not break my workflow. I get to focus on capturing the moments. The kit is fantastic as-is, but I also purchased a 50mm 1.8 lens which I’ve been accustomed to shooting with. All in all, I would highly recommend the purchase if you’re in the market for a mirrorless camera.
What Nikon users say About Sony A7 IV
Coming from Nikon after 18 years it’s been a hard learning curve but worth every penny! Yes, the kit lens people say is a joke but it is what it is.I have made it work for studio work and am happy. Not a prime but it works. The camera is something else! Studio work, outdoors, birds, and sports it has done what I want and lots better. I am coming from a long line of Nikon cameras with the latest being the d750 and d850.

3. Best Budget Wedding Fullframe Camera from Sony
Sony A7C is the best budget full-frame Mirrorless camera of 2023 from Sony. You can use the camera for wedding photography and cinematography purpose. We highly recommend you to have this camera for prolonged video recording.
Sony A7C with Tamron 28-75 F2.8 G2 Lens
The Sony A7C is a budget full-frame cinema camera with Fastest Autofocus in its class. The Sony A7C is an incredible camera that outperformed my expectations, and highly recommended those who are into video. It has everything that a professional wedding photographer requires from a full-frame camera, you can shoot incredible still shots as well as you can also capture videos without any overheating issues.
The low light performance is outstanding, the overall image quality is superb, and the ergonomics of the camera work well, although you have slightly less physical control than the Sony A7 III. It feels like it’s a well-made/sturdy camera body but it’s not quite as large as other full-frame cameras that I’ve tried (small and compact). I recommend this camera to photographers or videographers of any skill level looking for a full-frame camera.

4. Best Wedding Fullframe Camera from Canon
The best Canon camera for wedding photographers is Canon R5. The other budget solution is Canon R6 if you want to have a more affordable camera. We have also selected the best budget lenses for Canon R5 Camera for wedding photographers.
Canon R5 with 24-105mm F4 and 50mm F1.8
The Canon R5’s newly developed 45 Megapixel sensor is just amazing, I am not able to believe the number of details visible in the captured image. One of the most noticeable things is its low-light performance, despite having a conventional CMOS sensor the camera produces amazingly well low-light images with shadow details, its performance matches with competitors’ BSI CMOS sensor-based cameras.
Canon R5 features Canon’s advanced hybrid artificial intelligent autofocusing system, which covers approximately 99% area of the frame, and object tracking, face tracking, and eyes tracking are just amazing.
I’ve had the R5 only a couple of weeks now, but really love it. The level of detail we get from this camera and the autofocus methods including eye-tracking is amazing.

Sony ZV-E10 camera is one of the best and class-leading cameras, if we compare the specification against its competitors in the same price range, You will find Sony ZV–E10 is way ahead of others.
This camera is very similar to my a6400 for hundreds less. Same battery. Great vlogging camera at this price point. This camera has great features including 4k video and eye-tracking for clarity. The kit lens works better than I expected for videos.
The built-in mic is pretty good if you don’t want to carry around an external mic. I’d recommend purchasing the tripod with remote control. It works great on this camera and has cool features as well.
I’d recommend buying 2 extra batteries and an external battery charger. Out of the box you have to plug the entire camera into the outlet for the battery to charge. Happy vlogging everyone!

Nobody is paying attention to this little camera because it does not have the pro specs, it’s no dual card slot, it’s only 20.9 MP, it’s a huge mount with a small sensor, full-frame is better than APS-C, the lens selections are not good, blah…blah..blah… Everyone is missing out on the intention Nikon has on this camera and that is the FUN factor in photography. I have used Nikon D7100, D810, D850, D500, and the Z7. All of them are really great cameras. Well constructed, weather-sealed, rugged, and most of all aimed for professional use. I also have a bunch of Nikon lenses that you can say are also pro-grade. When Nikon first announced this camera I was not really thrilled like the way I was when they debuted the D850 and Z6/7. And like everyone before investing on new equipment I do research first before committing. When it became available for pre-order I went ahead and took the dive of getting one. Now that I tried it I was amazed at how compact this camera is. It literally a pocketable camera like its point and shoot cousins. The capabilities in stills and video is on par with my D500 except of the size, additional features, and weight. I take this camera with me most of the time than my other ones. It’s fun to shoot it. IMO it’s a better alternative than using my smartphone for taking photos at least the shape is familiar for me with that DSLR/Mirrorless feeling in your hand. The size makes good use for candid and street photography because it’s less noticeable and discrete. It’s a well-rounded camera for taking almost any kind of photography. The 20.9MP is just within the sweet spot for resolution good enough for a 13 x 19 size printout. I do not pixel peep or even scrutinize the resolution like Youtuber reviewers do because at the end of the day what matters most it your overall satisfaction with the product since you are the user.
If You are looking for a super budget wedding package then you should go with the Nikon Z50 camera, the camera features a perfect 20M low-light Sensor for perfect output during wedding sessions.
