GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?

Landscape & Outdoor — KF (2022): The Pentax KF is a rare thing — a weather-sealed DSLR with in-body stabilisation and an articulating screen at an accessible price. Video is modest at 1080p/60p, but for outdoor and landscape photographers who prefer optical viewfinders and want real weather sealing, the KF delivers in a format that is increasingly hard to find.

All-Round & Video — A6700 (2023): Best-in-class autofocus and 4K/120p video in a compact APS-C body — the standout camera under £1,000.

  • Pentax K-mount lens collectors who want a modern body for their glass

A6700 (2023)

  • APS-C photographers who want the best Sony autofocus in a compact body
