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.
Entry-Level Full-Frame & Dslr Switchers — Z5 (2020): The most affordable route into full-frame Z — dual card slots, IBIS, and a capable sensor at an accessible price.
Who should buy what
X100T (2014)
- X100 series enthusiasts who want the rangefinder-era X100 experience at the lowest price
- Street photographers who value the unique hybrid OVF with electronic rangefinder overlay
- Travel photographers who want a compact fixed-lens APS-C camera on a tight budget
- Those drawn to the classic X100 design before the X100F's resolution and joystick upgrade
Z5 (2020)
- DSLR photographers switching to full-frame mirrorless for the first time
- Enthusiasts who want full-frame image quality on a tighter budget
- Photographers stepping up from APS-C who don't need fast burst or 4K
- Z5 II shoppers on a budget — the original Z5 is now excellent value used
Quick take: The z5 has the highest resolution at 24mp; the x100t is the most affordable; only the z5 is weather sealed. Scroll down for the full spec breakdown.
