GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?
Street, Travel & Compact Everyday Shooting — X100T (2014): A polished step between X100S and X100F — the electronic rangefinder OVF mode was unique, and 16MP X-Trans delivers beautiful files at an accessible used price.
Wildlife, Sports, Travel — Lumix G9 (2017): The G9 showed that Micro Four Thirds could compete for fast-action stills.
