GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?
Creative Hybrid Shooters & Smartphone Generation — Instax Mini Evo (2022): The smartest Instax camera — digital preview means you only print the shots worth keeping, and 100 creative combinations keep things endlessly interesting.
Street & Casual — X-E2 (2013): The X-E2 is where the X-mount system matured. The X-Trans II sensor delivers rich, film-like rendering that still looks beautiful, and the rangefinder-style body is slim and pocketable. Manual aperture ring support, a quality EVF, and Fujifilm's colour science make it a rewarding camera to use. A bargain on the used market for anyone who wants the Fujifilm experience without the modern price tag.
