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-E4 — Compact Street & Travel Photography: The X-E4 is for photographers who want the minimum camera that still delivers maximum image quality. If you love shooting from the rear screen and want the smallest possible X-mount body, this is your camera. If you need a viewfinder or IBIS, look at the X-S20 or X-T30 II.
