In this video I compare two "entry level" cameras (the Nikon Z fc and the FUJI X-S20) in a real world photo journey on Route 66, where we'll compare the photography experience of travel photography, landscape, wildlife, portrait, and maybe even a little food photography, and decide which camera is the best.
