GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?
Portrait, Video & Location Photography — ML60II Portable LED Monolight: Bridges the gap between a small LED panel and a full studio strobe. Bowens mount takes any modifier you already own. Battery-powered, no mains cable. Godox X wireless integrates it with your existing flash system.
Hybrid Photography, Travel & Video On Sony Aps-C — A6600 (2019): The APS-C Sony that has everything — IBIS, real-time Eye AF, excellent battery life, and 4K/30p in a weather-sealed body.
