Verdict
Pick Model B if you want to save €6 and don’t need the AF-P’s quieter stepping motor—its lighter weight is also missing from the spec sheet, so it’s likely the more portable option. Model A stays the better choice if silent autofocus during video is a priority, as the AF-P designation confirms its stepping motor.
