GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?
Street, Landscape, Portrait & Documentary — X-T2 (2016): The X-T2 put Fujifilm on the map as a serious system — first X-T with 4K, dual SD, weather sealing, and fast AF that won over photographers worldwide.
Landscape & Outdoor — KF (2022): The Pentax KF is a rare thing — a weather-sealed DSLR with in-body stabilisation and an articulating screen at an accessible price. Video is modest at 1080p/60p, but for outdoor and landscape photographers who prefer optical viewfinders and want real weather sealing, the KF delivers in a format that is increasingly hard to find.
