GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?
Sports, Wildlife & Dslr Enthusiasts — Canon EOS 90D (2019): The best APS-C DSLR Canon ever made — 32MP, 10fps, weather sealing, and an optical viewfinder experience no mirrorless can replicate.
Canon Mirrorless History & Ef-M Collectors — EOS M (2012): Canon's first mirrorless — a historic body that broke new ground with touch-AF and EF-M, but its sluggish contrast-detect system quickly became its Achilles heel.
Vloggers & Content Creators — Canon PowerShot V10 (2023): A vlog-first compact with a 1-inch sensor, front-facing screen, and Canon's Dual Pixel AF — the simplest way to create clean content on the go.
