GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?

Creative Film Shooters Who Want More From Their Half-Frame — Ektar H35N (2023): Everything the H35 was, plus a multiple-exposure mode that opens up a world of creative in-camera double exposures. The natural upgrade for H35 fans.

Portrait, Landscape & Studio Photography — A7R II (2015): The A7R II transformed the A7R series — adding IBIS, 4K video, BSI sensor tech, and phase-detect AF in one generation. A landmark Sony camera.
