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.
Portrait & Street — EOS M6 Mark II (2019): The M6 Mark II is the peak of the EF-M system — 32.5MP, 14fps, and Dual Pixel CMOS AF II in a compact rangefinder-style body. No built-in EVF is the main compromise, but the optional EVF-DC2 resolves this. An outstanding used-market buy for photographers who want high resolution and fast AF in a genuinely compact body.
Wedding, Portrait, Sports, Video — EOS R6 (2020): The camera that made Canon's RF system worth taking seriously.
