Which should you buy?

Wildlife, Sports & Action — EOS R7 (2022): The EOS R7 is one of the most complete APS-C cameras ever made. It combines a class-leading resolution sensor with best-in-class IBIS, 4K/60p video, weather sealing and 15fps burst. For wildlife, sports and action photographers on an APS-C budget, nothing else comes close.

Portraits & Landscape — X-T5 (2022): Fujifilm's finest stills camera — 40MP, 7-stop IBIS, and the most distinctive colour rendering available.

Adventure, Underwater & Outdoor Use — OM System TG-7 (2023): Waterproof to 15m, freezeproof and shockproof — the TG-7 is the most capable rugged compact for adventure and outdoor use.
