GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?
Vloggers, Content Creators & Fujifilm Colour Fans — X-M5 (2024): Fujifilm's most affordable vlogging camera — film simulations in video, 6.2K, and a fully articulating screen at an accessible price.
Retro Compact Collectors — Cyber-shot DSC-T700 (2008): A touchscreen Sony from 2008 — the DSC-T700 was ahead of its time with a 3.5" touch display, but belongs in a collection rather than a kit bag today.
