      Screen and Viewfinder

      Screen

      Fujifilm X-A3 has a 3.0" screen with 1,040k dot resolution and Hasselblad X2D 100c has a 3.6" screen with 2,360k dot resolution. Both have Tilting screens. Tilting screen makes cameras very useful for photography purposes but not so useful for video shooting. Both models feature touchscreen which has advantages such as easy menu navigation, intuitive controls, quick setting adjustment and most importantly a Touch-to-Focus functionality allowing users to select a specific point on the screen where they want the camera to focus. This feature can be helpful for achieving precise focus in both photo and video recording.

      Photography Features

      Fujifilm X-A3 is equipped with EXR Processor II processor and can take pictures up to 6000 x 4000 resolution. Hasselblad X2D 100c can take pictures up to 11656 x 8742 resolution.


      Lens Mount

      Fujifilm X-A3 has Fujifilm X lens mount and Hasselblad X2D 100c has Hasselblad X lens mount. Due to APS-C sensor in Fujifilm X-A3 its crop factor is equal to 1.5x, this means that a 35mm equivalent focal length of the mounted lens will be equal to its actual focal length times 1.5. Due to Medium format sensor in Hasselblad X2D 100c its crop factor is equal to 0.79x, this means that a 35mm equivalent focal length of the mounted lens will be equal to its actual focal length times 0.79.


      In-Body Image Stabilization on Hasselblad X2D 100c

      Hasselblad X2D 100c has a built-in 5-Axis Sensor Shift in-body image stabilization (IBIS) with 7 stops of compensation. This means that you are still getting vibration reduction when camera is paired with non-image stabilizied lenses. It also works with lenses with optical image stabilization and in combination can achieve even better compensation.

      Connectivity, Battery and Storage

      Built-in Wi-Fi

      Cameras have built-in Wi-Fi (802.11b/g/n 2.4 GHz on Fujifilm X-A3, Wi-Fi 6 2x2 MIMO 802.11b/a/g/n/ac/ax on Hasselblad X2D 100c) which allows to easily transfer photos and videos from the camera to other Wi-Fi-enabled devices, such as smartphones, tablets, printers, or computers. This eliminates the need for cables and allows for quick and convenient media sharing and social media integration. It gives you the ability to control your camera remotely using a smartphone or tablet. This is particularly useful for taking self-portraits, group shots, or capturing images in challenging conditions without having to touch the camera. Firmware updates can also be downloaded and installed wirelessly.
