Which should you buy?
Portraits & Landscape — X-T5 (2022): Fujifilm's finest stills camera — 40MP, 7-stop IBIS, and the most distinctive colour rendering available.
Travel & Everyday — OM-D E-M10 IV (2020): Compact Micro Four Thirds body with built-in IBIS — ideal for travellers who want stability without bulk.
Street Portraits & Reportage — Ricoh GR IIIx (2021): APS-C in a shirt pocket with a 40mm perspective — the GR IIIx is the ideal street portrait compact for photographers who want a slightly tighter frame.
Who should buy what
X-T5 (2022)
- You're a photographer first and video is secondary or completely irrelevant
- You want the highest resolution Fujifilm's APS-C system can deliver
- You value a compact, tactile camera with physical dials and classic controls
OM-D E-M10 IV (2020)
- You're new to mirrorless and want a small, uncomplicated first camera to learn on
- You want excellent in-body stabilisation to steady handheld video and shake-prone shooting
- You're drawn to the Micro Four Thirds ecosystem and want to start at the entry level
Ricoh GR IIIx (2021)
- You want the GR experience with a slightly tighter, more versatile field of view
- You shoot portraits, food, or street scenes where 40mm suits better than 28mm wide
- You want a premium compact that fits in a shirt pocket with better tonal rendering than a phone
