GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?
Long-Exposure Landscape & Architecture Photography — 77mm PRO ND1000 Filter (10-Stop): The ND1000 is a different tool from a variable ND — it's specifically for multi-minute exposures in daylight. Hoya's PRO coating is noticeably more colour-neutral than budget ND1000 filters. If long-exposure landscape photography is your thing, this is the filter you need.
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.
