GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?
Compact Street & Travel Photography — X-E4 (2021): 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.
Street, Documentary & Travel Photography — X-Pro2 (2016): The X-Pro series at its most balanced — 24MP X-Trans III, weather sealing, and a refined hybrid viewfinder that made it a street photography benchmark.
