Claim 1: “The Hasselblad X2D II 100C has unexpectedly surged back to No.1 in Japan's latest Yodobashi best-seller rankings – overtaking the Sony A7 V”
INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE
Direct contradicting evidence from Yodobashi's best-seller rankings (via Yahoo Tech, May 15, 2026) shows the Sony A7C II at No. 1, the Sony A7 V at No. 2, and the Hasselblad X2D II 100C at No. 3. Another source from March 18, 2026, explicitly states the 100MP flagship (Hasselblad) 'can't make it to No.1'.
