GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?
Portrait, Fashion & Documentary Slide Film — Provia 100F (36 exp): The balanced professional slide film — accurate colour, fine grain, and more versatile than Velvia across all subjects.
Content Creation & Vlogging — A6400 (2019): The best value APS-C Sony you can buy — especially used. Real-time Eye AF at this price point was transformative when it launched and still makes it one of the most reliable autofocus systems in the lineup.

- Vloggers and content creators who need a flip screen and reliable AF
