GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?

Creative And Editorial Wide Shooting — Instax Wide Black Border Film: The black border gives Wide prints a cinematic, bold look that suits the larger format perfectly.

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.
