GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?
Documentary, Street & Environmental Portrait Work — XF 18mm f/1.4 R LM WR (2021): A unique wide prime for Fujifilm — the 27mm equivalent perspective sits between the 24mm and 35mm equivalents for a naturally immersive feel.
Content Creation & Vlogging — A6400 (2019): The best value APS-C Sony you can buy — especially used. Real-time Eye AF at this price point was transformative when it launched and still makes it one of the most reliable autofocus systems in the lineup.
