Which should you buy?
Content Creators Starting Out — DJI Pocket 3 Creator Combo (2023): The Osmo Pocket 3 with everything you need to start creating — wide-angle lens, ND filters, and tripod included for a complete creator kit.
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.
Street Photography & Urban Reportage — Ricoh GR III (2019): The purest street photography compact — APS-C sensor, 28mm perspective, IBIS, and cult-favourite JPEG rendering in a shirt pocket.
