Casual & Vlogging — EOS M200 (2019): The EOS M200 is Canon's most approachable APS-C mirrorless — slim, light, and simple, with Dual Pixel AF that makes sharp results effortless. No EVF and no IBIS keep it firmly entry-level, but for first-time buyers stepping up from a smartphone, it delivers reliable, confidence-inspiring results in a genuinely compact package.
Landscape, Studio & Commercial — Sony A7R V (2022): 61 megapixels and 8-stop IBIS in a weather-sealed body — the reference resolution camera for commercial and landscape professionals.
