Which should you buy?
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.
Sports, Travel & Dslr Shooters — Nikon D7500 (2017): The D500's BSI sensor in a compact, weather-sealed body — excellent high-ISO performance and DSLR reliability at a great price.
All-Round Photography & Video — A7 III (2018): Still one of the best all-round cameras money can buy — particularly strong used. The A7 III proved that full-frame doesn't have to mean compromises, and nothing at this price point has meaningfully beaten it.
