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.
Commercial, Portrait & Landscape Photographers — GFX 100S (2021): 102MP medium-format with IBIS and phase-detect AF at a price that made serious large-format imaging available to a new generation of photographers.
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 100S (2021)
- Portrait and commercial photographers who need extraordinary resolution and rendering
- Landscape photographers who want the finest large-format detail in a manageable body
- GFX 50S II users who want to double their resolution with improved AF
- Studio photographers moving up from full-frame who want medium-format colour science
