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.
A5100 — Casual & Travel: The A5100 is one of the smallest APS-C mirrorless cameras ever made. Its 24MP sensor, phase-detect AF, and selfie-friendly flip screen pack remarkable capability into a shirt-pocket-sized body. No EVF or hot shoe limits it for serious use, but as a compact travel camera or beginner's first mirrorless, it punches well above its price on the used market.
Who should buy what
A5100 (2014)
is the right camera for you if…
