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.
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.
