EOS R10vs Leica M11vs Ricoh GR IIIx
Which should you buy?
Beginners & Vlogging — EOS R10 (2022): Canon's most affordable RF body — Dual Pixel AF and a vari-angle screen in a compact, lightweight package.
Rangefinder Enthusiasts & Collectors — Leica M11 (2022): 60MP of full-frame resolution in the thinnest digital M ever made — the M11 is the definitive expression of Leica's rangefinder tradition.
Street Portraits & Reportage — Ricoh GR IIIx (2021): APS-C in a shirt pocket with a 40mm perspective — the GR IIIx is the ideal street portrait compact for photographers who want a slightly tighter frame.
