Fujifilm X-T3 Black
Score: 82/100Rankings
The Fujifilm X-T3 is a compact APS-C mirrorless camera featuring a 26.1 MP X-Trans sensor and fast 30 fps electronic burst, delivering excellent image quality and robust build. Its lack of in-body image stabilization and modest battery endurance limit handheld low-light shooting. Ideal for enthusiasts who prioritize speed and color science.
The Panasonic LUMIX G7 is a 2015 Micro Four Thirds mirrorless camera offering 16 MP resolution, 4K video and a fast 0.07-second autofocus in an ergonomic DSLR-style body. Its lack of in-body stabilization, heavier build and limited weather protection make it less ideal for demanding outdoor work. It suits hybrid shooters and vloggers who value 4K capability and robust controls at an affordable price.

Everyday users appreciate the affordable 4K capability, the flexible flip-out screen and the sharp kit lens, finding the camera easy for sharing images via Wi-Fi. Recurring frustrations center on short battery life during video, occasional autofocus hunting in dim light, overheating in long recordings, and a menu system that can overwhelm newcomers.
