GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?
Studio, Portrait & Landscape B&W — Delta 100 (36 exp): Ilford's finest-grain B&W film — silky smooth tones and extraordinary sharpness for studio and landscape work.
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.
