I used this camera to photograph people and their pets during a parade. And for that it worked well enough. I could set the buttons to enable and disable scene detection and as long as scene detection was set to animals, I was good to go.

I’m so insanely grateful that DJI put their heart into the Hasselblad X2D II 100C. Hopefully, it will frighten the Japanese into finally getting it together. They’ve been gouging the consumers for a long time and I’ve been really sick of it.
