GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?
Hybrid Photography, Travel & Video On Sony Aps-C — A6600 (2019): The APS-C Sony that has everything — IBIS, real-time Eye AF, excellent battery life, and 4K/30p in a weather-sealed body.
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.
