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.
Travel & Everyday Video — Z30 (2022): Nikon's lightest Z-mount body — no fuss, excellent subject tracking, and a flip screen for creators.
