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.
Style-Conscious Shooters & Gifting — Instax Mini 41 (2025): A stylish step up from the Mini 12 — the retro design and refined feel make it one of the best-looking instant cameras at this price.
