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.
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.
