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.
Premium Instant Photography & Creative Enthusiasts — Instax Wide Evo (2024): The premium instant camera. Wide-format prints with digital preview and 100 effects — the most capable Instax camera ever made.
