GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?
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.
Landscape, Travel & Street Photography At Medium Format Quality — GFX 100RF (2025): The world's first medium format compact — 102MP, 28mm, and all 20 Fujifilm film simulations in a fixed-lens body.
Who should buy what
EOS M (2012)
- Canon shooters who want the camera that started Canon's mirrorless story
- Budget first-time mirrorless buyers who already own EF/EF-S glass
- Collectors of significant digital camera milestones
GFX 100RF (2025)
- Landscape photographers who want medium format resolution without a system of interchangeable lenses
- Leica Q3 owners who want a step up in resolution to 102MP medium format
- Fujifilm GFX users who want a compact fixed-lens body for travel alongside their system lenses
- Photographers who want the ultimate image quality in a jacket-pocketable form factor
