GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?

Sports, Wildlife & Professional Video — X-H2S (2022): The fastest Fujifilm ever made — 40fps, 4K/120p, and subject-detection AF that redefines what APS-C can do for action photography.

Compact Travel & Content Creation — A7C (2020): The A7C proves full-frame doesn't have to be bulky. Excellent battery life, reliable Eye AF and a vari-angle screen in a pocketable body is a compelling combination for travel and content creators. The A7C II improved on it, but the original remains a strong value buy.

  • Professionals who need weather sealing down to -10°C and deep-grip ergonomics for heavy lenses

A7C (2020)
