X-Pro2vs A7 II
VS
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.
Travel, Portrait — A7 II (2014): The camera that proved full-frame IBIS was possible in a compact body.
