GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?
Street, Travel & Everyday Photography — X100F (2017): The X100F is the camera that made the X100 series legendary — 24MP X-Trans III, a hybrid viewfinder, and the best fixed 35mm compact lens available.
Travel, Portrait — A7 II (2014): The camera that proved full-frame IBIS was possible in a compact body.
Who should buy what
X100F (2017)
- Street photographers who want a discreet, tactile camera with a fixed 35mm lens
- Travel photographers who prefer one lens and minimal kit
- Fujifilm fans who want the X100 experience at a lower cost than the X100V or VI
- Photographers who value the hybrid OVF/EVF for a rangefinder-like shooting style
A7 II (2014)
- Photographers upgrading from APS-C who want full-frame on a budget
- Film shooters adapting vintage lenses (IBIS helps enormously)
