GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?
Street, Documentary & Travel Photography — X-Pro2 (2016): The X-Pro series at its most balanced — 24MP X-Trans III, weather sealing, and a refined hybrid viewfinder that made it a street photography benchmark.
Entry-Level Mirrorless & Budget E-Mount — A6000 (2014): The Sony that started a generation of E-mount loyalty — 11fps, 24MP, and 179 phase-detect points in a compact body that remained excellent value for nearly a decade.
Who should buy what
X-Pro2 (2016)
- Street photographers who want the best hybrid OVF experience in the X-mount system
- Fujifilm fans who want X-Trans III rendering at a used-price discount vs X-Pro3
- Documentary photographers who value the discreet, rangefinder-style form factor
- X-Pro1 owners ready for a significant upgrade in AF and resolution
A6000 (2014)
- First-time mirrorless buyers who want a capable, proven body at the lowest price
- Sony E-mount users who want a compact backup or second body
