Water Sports, Beach Holidays & Outdoor Adventures On A Budget — PixPro WPZ2 (2021): A practical, affordable waterproof camera for those who want a traditional zoom compact rather than a GoPro-style action camera.
Travel, Portrait — A7 II (2014): The camera that proved full-frame IBIS was possible in a compact body.
