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.
Wildlife, Sports & Hybrid Mft Shooters — Lumix G9 II (2023): Phase-detect AF transforms the G9 II into a genuine MFT all-rounder — the best Lumix MFT camera for both stills and video.
Content Creation & Vlogging — A6400 (2019): The best value APS-C Sony you can buy — especially used. Real-time Eye AF at this price point was transformative when it launched and still makes it one of the most reliable autofocus systems in the lineup.
