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.
A7C — Compact Travel & Content Creation: The A7C proves full-frame doesn't have to be bulky. Excellent battery life, reliable Eye AF and a vari-angle screen in a pocketable body is a compelling combination for travel and content creators. The A7C II improved on it, but the original remains a strong value buy.
