SUMMARY
Sean Dalton tested the Hasselblad X2D II in Porto and Lisbon, finding that its updated autofocus system, including continuous focus and more points, finally makes it suitable for daily and reactive street use. While not as fast as Sony cameras, the Mark II's improved responsiveness and tracking allow it to keep up with moving subjects. Dalton also praised the camera's build, ergonomics, and the cropping flexibility offered by its 100-megapixel sensor, which allows for focal length adjustments in post-processing.
