Landscape, Studio, Commercial — Z7 (2018): 45MP full-frame in the same body as the Z6 — choose your priority.
Retro Compact Collectors — Cyber-shot DSC-T700 (2008): A touchscreen Sony from 2008 — the DSC-T700 was ahead of its time with a 3.5" touch display, but belongs in a collection rather than a kit bag today.
