Which should you buy?
Hybrid Shooters & Enthusiasts — Fujifilm X-T4 (2020): The X-T series reached hybrid maturity with the X-T4 — IBIS, 4K/60p, and Fujifilm colour science in the most complete X-T package.
Creative Filmmakers & Experimental Photographers — Sigma fp (2019): The smallest full-frame camera in the world — Cinema DNG RAW and L-mount flexibility in a pocket-sized body that rewards creative shooters.
Compact Travel & Content Creation — A7C (2020): The A7C proves full-frame doesn't have to be bulky. Excellent battery life, reliable Eye AF and a vari-angle screen in a pocketable body is a compelling combination for travel and content creators. The A7C II improved on it, but the original remains a strong value buy.
