GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?
Casual & Everyday — EOS M100 (2017): The EOS M100 is Canon's most stripped-back EF-M camera — small, simple, and focused on making great photos easy. Dual Pixel AF, 24MP, and a tilting touchscreen are its strengths; no EVF, no IBIS, and no 4K are its compromises. A solid, affordable first mirrorless for casual photographers who want more than a smartphone.
Street, Landscape, Portrait & Documentary — X-T2 (2016): The X-T2 put Fujifilm on the map as a serious system — first X-T with 4K, dual SD, weather sealing, and fast AF that won over photographers worldwide.
