Dslr Switchers, Travel & Vlogging — X-S10 (2020): The X-S10 brought IBIS and a fully articulating screen to Fujifilm's mid-range — a compelling DSLR replacement at a price that made Fujifilm accessible to a new audience.
Street, Documentary & Reportage Film Photography — MP 0.72 (2003): The purist's Leica — a fully mechanical 35mm rangefinder with no electronics bar the meter. Still built by hand in Wetzlar. The most honest camera ever made.
