GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?
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.
Water Sports, Beach Holidays & Outdoor Adventures On A Budget — PixPro WPZ2 (2021): A practical, affordable waterproof camera for those who want a traditional zoom compact rather than a GoPro-style action camera.
