Which should you buy?
Content Creators Starting Out — DJI Pocket 3 Creator Combo (2023): The Osmo Pocket 3 with everything you need to start creating — wide-angle lens, ND filters, and tripod included for a complete creator kit.
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.
All-Round Photography & Video — A7 III (2018): Still one of the best all-round cameras money can buy — particularly strong used. The A7 III proved that full-frame doesn't have to mean compromises, and nothing at this price point has meaningfully beaten it.
