GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?
Landscape, Nature & Commercial Photography — Ektar 100 (36 exp) (2008): The finest grain colour negative film available — ultra-sharp, ultra-saturated, and breathtaking in good light.
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.

- Vloggers and content creators who need a flip screen and reliable AF
