Which should you buy?
Sports, Wildlife & Dslr Enthusiasts — Canon EOS 90D (2019): The best APS-C DSLR Canon ever made — 32MP, 10fps, weather sealing, and an optical viewfinder experience no mirrorless can replicate.
Full-Frame Entry — EOS R8 (2023): Canon's most affordable full-frame mirrorless — 4K/60p 10-bit and class-leading Dual Pixel AF at an accessible entry price.
Vloggers, Travellers & Content Creators — DJI Osmo Pocket 3 (2023): A 1-inch sensor on a 3-axis gimbal in a palm-sized body — the Osmo Pocket 3 makes cinematic stabilised footage as simple as pressing record.
