Which should you buy?
Beginner Fujifilm — X-A7 (2019): The most affordable X-mount entry — Fujifilm colour and film simulations with a large flip screen for beginners.
Street, Documentary & Rangefinder Enthusiasts — Fujifilm X-Pro3 (2019): The most opinionated camera Fujifilm makes — a hidden screen and hybrid OVF enforce deliberate photography, rewarding photographers who slow down.
Hybrid Video & Action — Z6 III (2024): Partial-stacked FF sensor for near-zero blackout, 6K RAW video, and 60fps burst — Nikon's most capable hybrid.
Who should buy what
X-A7 (2019)
- You want an affordable first mirrorless with decent video capabilities

Fujifilm X-Pro3 (2019)
- You shoot street or documentary photography and value a minimal shooting workflow
- You want a rangefinder experience with modern digital image quality
- You love Fujifilm film simulations and prioritise stills over video
Z6 III (2024)
- You need the best all-round full-frame camera in Nikon's Z system
