Which should you buy?
Adventure, Outdoor Sports & Action — DJI Action 5 Pro (2024): DJI's best action camera — 4K/120p from a large 1/1.3" sensor, 20m waterproofing without a housing, and the best EIS stabilisation in any action camera.
Commercial, Studio & Landscape Professionals — Fujifilm GFX 100S II (2024): 102MP medium-format quality in the most accessible GFX body — the best entry point to the Fujifilm GFX system.
Compact Street & Travel Photography — X-E4 (2021): The X-E4 is for photographers who want the minimum camera that still delivers maximum image quality. If you love shooting from the rear screen and want the smallest possible X-mount body, this is your camera. If you need a viewfinder or IBIS, look at the X-S20 or X-T30 II.
