GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?
Video, Street, Travel, Portrait — X-T3 (2018): The camera that proved APS-C could punch above full-frame on video.
Content Creation & Vlogging — A6400 (2019): The best value APS-C Sony you can buy — especially used. Real-time Eye AF at this price point was transformative when it launched and still makes it one of the most reliable autofocus systems in the lineup.
