GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?
Casual & Everyday — EOS M3 (2015): The EOS M3 was a meaningful upgrade over the original EOS M — bringing 24MP, a tilting touchscreen, and improved Hybrid CMOS AF III. Video tops out at 1080p/30p and burst shooting is modest, but for stills photographers wanting affordable APS-C quality, the M3 is a competent used-market option.
Content Creators Starting Out — DJI Pocket 3 Creator Combo (2023): The Osmo Pocket 3 with everything you need to start creating — wide-angle lens, ND filters, and tripod included for a complete creator kit.
