GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?
Portraits, Events & Performance Photography On Micro Four Thirds — M.Zuiko 75mm f/1.8 PRO (2012): The sharpest portrait prime in the MFT system — 150mm equivalent compression and tight subject isolation that surprises full-frame shooters.
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.
