Verdictwhich should you buy?

QuickSnap Flash 400 — Holidays, Casual Shooting & Fujifilm Colour Fans: Fujifilm's disposable camera favourite — cooler tones and fine grain give a different character to Kodak. The go-to for those who prefer Fuji's aesthetic.

X-E2 — Street & Casual: 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.
