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.
Hybrid Shooters & Enthusiasts — Fujifilm X-T4 (2020): The X-T series reached hybrid maturity with the X-T4 — IBIS, 4K/60p, and Fujifilm colour science in the most complete X-T package.
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
Fujifilm X-T4 (2020)
- Hybrid photographers who want IBIS and 4K video in the X-T body style
- X-T3 owners who want in-body stabilisation and a fully articulating screen
- Fujifilm shooters who need a capable video body alongside stills
- Anyone who wants a well-rounded X-T camera at a now very competitive price
