With the compact system camera, the decision-making process is somewhat complicated by the fact that (assuming you&#x27;re not just interested in a camera and its kit lens), you are buying into a system. And, in some cases, you&#x27;re potentially betting on players who aren&#x27;t the traditional (surviving) big DSLR companies. I like the Fujifilm X Series BTW if you don&#x27;t want a full-blown DSLR. (I have both.)<p>Especially assuming you&#x27;re already in the Apple ecosystem, whether you buy a given model of X to last for the next few or even five years is less of a big deal.
