Which should you buy?
Vloggers & Content Creators — Canon PowerShot V10 (2023): A vlog-first compact with a 1-inch sensor, front-facing screen, and Canon's Dual Pixel AF — the simplest way to create clean content on the go.
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.
All-Round Full-Frame Photography — Z6 II (2020): The Z6 II is the Nikon most photographers should buy. It's balanced across every discipline — stills, video, autofocus, weather sealing — without overpaying for megapixels you don't need. The Z-mount glass is superb.
