GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?
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.
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.
