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.

Street, Travel, Everyday — X-T30 (2019): The X-T3's sensor in a pocketable body. One of Fujifilm's best value cameras.
