Buying advice

Which should you buy?

The Z f edges ahead on the Mars Score (46 vs 42.8), but the 3.2-point gap is small enough that the right pick comes down to which spec advantages matter to you.

Pick the OM-1 Mark II if you carry the device everywhere and weight or thickness has been the deciding factor before. Its strongest claims are af points, weight.
