Which should you buy?
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.
Collectors, Fine Art & V-System Users — Hasselblad 907X & CFV 100C (2023): An engineering icon — the 907X + CFV 100C bridges Hasselblad V lenses from 1957 with a 100MP digital back in a form that is unmistakably Hasselblad.
Content Creation & Vlogging — A6400 (2019): The best value APS-C Sony you can buy — especially used. Real-time Eye AF at this price point was transformative when it launched and still makes it one of the most reliable autofocus systems in the lineup.
