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.

Water Sports, Beach Holidays & Outdoor Adventures On A Budget — PixPro WPZ2 (2021): A practical, affordable waterproof camera for those who want a traditional zoom compact rather than a GoPro-style action camera.
