Verdictwhich should you buy?

X-T30 III — Enthusiast Photography, Travel & Street: 40MP resolution and flagship-level subject detection in the most affordable X-T body — the best value Fujifilm camera ever made.

A6400 — Content Creation & Vlogging: 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.
