GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?
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.
Retro Compact Collectors — Cyber-shot DSC-T700 (2008): A touchscreen Sony from 2008 — the DSC-T700 was ahead of its time with a 3.5" touch display, but belongs in a collection rather than a kit bag today.
