GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?
Film Photography Enthusiasts & Fujifilm X-Mount Collectors — X-Pro1 (2012): The camera that started it all — slow, imperfect, and still uniquely loveable for the quality of images it produces.
Water Sports, Beach Holidays & Outdoor Adventures On A Budget — PixPro WPZ2 (2021): A practical, affordable waterproof camera for those who want a traditional zoom compact rather than a GoPro-style action camera.
