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.
Rangefinder Enthusiasts & Collectors — Leica M11 (2022): 60MP of full-frame resolution in the thinnest digital M ever made — the M11 is the definitive expression of Leica's rangefinder tradition.
Vlogging & Video — ZV-E10 (2021): Purpose-built for video creators — real-time Eye AF, flip screen, and excellent 4K at a wallet-friendly price.
