GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?

Collectors, Gift Buyers & Style-Conscious Creatives — Instax Mini Evo Cinema EX D (2024): Everything the Evo offers, in the most striking design in the Instax range. Worth it if the aesthetic matters to you.

Compact Street & Travel Photography — X-E4 (2021): The X-E4 is for photographers who want the minimum camera that still delivers maximum image quality. If you love shooting from the rear screen and want the smallest possible X-mount body, this is your camera. If you need a viewfinder or IBIS, look at the X-S20 or X-T30 II.
