GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?
Casual & Everyday — EOS M10 (2015): The EOS M10 is Canon's most basic EF-M mirrorless — small, stylish, and approachable, with 18MP and a tilting touchscreen. It lacks the specs of newer EF-M bodies but delivers solid results for everyday shooting and represents an affordable entry into the Canon mirrorless ecosystem.
Travel & Vlogging — PowerShot G7X Mark II (2016): The G7X Mark II is one of the most popular compact cameras ever made — and for good reason. A fast f/1.8-2.8 lens, 20MP 1-inch sensor, flip-up selfie screen, and Micro USB charging combine in one of the most vlog-friendly compact cameras available. No 4K and no EVF are the main compromises, but the G7X II remains outstanding value on the used market.
