GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?
Landscape & Travel — X-H1 (2018): The X-H1 was Fujifilm's first IBIS-equipped camera and remains the most ergonomic X-mount body ever made. Its deep grip and build quality are class-leading. The 24.3MP X-Trans III sensor delivers outstanding image quality. Video spec is slightly dated but F-Log recording is supported. An excellent used-market buy for photographers who want Fujifilm's film simulations with body-based stabilisation at a fraction of current prices.
Landscape, Studio & Commercial — Sony A7R V (2022): 61 megapixels and 8-stop IBIS in a weather-sealed body — the reference resolution camera for commercial and landscape professionals.
