GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?
Premium Instant Photography & Creative Enthusiasts — Instax Wide Evo (2024): The premium instant camera. Wide-format prints with digital preview and 100 effects — the most capable Instax camera ever made.
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.
