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.
Landscape & Travel — X-H1 (2018): The X-H1 was Fujifilm's first IBIS-equipped camera and remains the most ergonomic X-mount body ever made. Its deep grip and build quality are class-leading. The 24.3MP X-Trans III sensor delivers outstanding image quality. Video spec is slightly dated but F-Log recording is supported. An excellent used-market buy for photographers who want Fujifilm's film simulations with body-based stabilisation at a fraction of current prices.
