GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?

Vlogging, Interviews & Content Creation — Mic 2 Wireless Microphone System: Matches the Wireless GO II on almost every spec and beats it on range and 32-bit float recording. The magnetic clip is more discreet than the Rode. Either system is excellent — DJI offers slightly cheaper entry and better range.

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.
