Hasselblad X2D vs Fuji GFX100 – Let’s compare these two cameras – We do know the camera Hasselblad X2D cost $8199 and the GFX100 cost $9999. So, roughly 2K is more costly than the X2D camera.
Both Cameras use the same 100MP BSI CMOS. Fuji GFX100S Image processor is more powerful hence we are able to have a slightly wider ISO range in the GFX100 camera as well as the GFX100 is able to process continuous shooting speed up to 5fps.
Once the samples become available we will also publish a High ISO test between the two.

No Video Mode in Hasselblad X2D
Hasselblad is limited to still photography only, with no video options available in the camera. Although, at the price point where both of them are available to us it actually doesn’t matter if the camera is able to shoot video or not if you are a still photographer. Since, if you have that budget and in cinematography, you will prefer cinema cameras like FX3 or C70 or maybe even better them both.

At the end of the day you will be getting the same image quality from both camera, so decide is wisely which camera is best for you.
