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.
Sports, Travel & Dslr Shooters — Nikon D7500 (2017): The D500's BSI sensor in a compact, weather-sealed body — excellent high-ISO performance and DSLR reliability at a great price.
