GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?

Street, Travel, Everyday — X-T30 (2019): The X-T3's sensor in a pocketable body. One of Fujifilm's best value cameras.

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.
