GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?
Everyday Prime & Street Photography — XF 33mm f/1.4 R LM WR: If you shoot Fujifilm and can only own one prime, this is it. The 50mm equivalent focal length works for almost any subject, f/1.4 gives you excellent low-light capability, and the weather resistance means it goes wherever your camera goes.
Compact Travel & Content Creation — A7C (2020): The A7C proves full-frame doesn't have to be bulky. Excellent battery life, reliable Eye AF and a vari-angle screen in a pocketable body is a compelling combination for travel and content creators. The A7C II improved on it, but the original remains a strong value buy.
