Bonus Insight: No Video Mode – A Notable Omission

Interestingly, forums like EOSHD have highlighted that the X2D II 100C lacks a video recording feature—a surprising omission given its advanced hardware, including IBIS and LiDAR. One commenter sharply critiques the decision: “Still no video mode on the X2D II… it has the same sensor as the Fuji… yet doesn't even do 1080p, let alone 8K! This is odd behaviour from DJI!” (EOSHD). This detail is crucial for hybrid shooters who expect both stills and video capabilities.
