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.
Street, Documentary & Everyday Carry Photography — Retrospective 15 Shoulder Bag: The camera bag that doesn't look like one. Canvas exterior blends in anywhere, silent closure is unobtrusive in galleries and churches, and the layout is perfectly considered for a one-body two-lens working setup.
