Which should you buy?
Adventure, Outdoor Sports & Action — DJI Action 5 Pro (2024): DJI's best action camera — 4K/120p from a large 1/1.3" sensor, 20m waterproofing without a housing, and the best EIS stabilisation in any action camera.
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.
Professional Sports & Wildlife — Nikon Z9 (2021): The Z9 redefined what professional mirrorless could be — no mechanical shutter, 45MP stacked BSI, and 8K RAW in the most rugged Z body.
