Verdict

Best for

  • street photography
  • rangefinder-style shooters
  • high-resolution APS-C stills
  • compact travel

Who should skip this

  • Action and wildlife shooters — the rangefinder body and lens balance favor primes, not long stabilized telephotos
  • Video-first creators — 6.2K is capable but the X-H line is the dedicated hybrid
  • Anyone wanting to shoot mostly with big zooms — the small body is meant for compact primes
