Which should you buy?
Sports & Photojournalism Professionals — Canon EOS R3 (2021): The pinnacle of Canon's mirrorless lineup for speed — Eye Control AF and 30fps burst in the most rugged body Canon has ever produced.
Street, Travel & Everyday — Fujifilm X100VI (2024): The best fixed-lens camera ever made — 40MP, 7-stop IBIS, film simulations, and a design icon. Wildly oversubscribed for good reason.
Pocket Vlogging — ZV-1 II (2023): The best pocket vlogging camera — 1-inch sensor, ultrawide zoom, flip screen, and real-time Eye AF in a shirt pocket.
