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
