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.

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.

Street Photography & Urban Reportage — Ricoh GR III (2019): The purest street photography compact — APS-C sensor, 28mm perspective, IBIS, and cult-favourite JPEG rendering in a shirt pocket.
