GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?
Travel & Portrait — EOS M5 (2016): The EOS M5 was the first EF-M camera with a built-in EVF — and it made the system feel complete. Fast Dual Pixel AF, a 9fps burst, and a high-resolution articulating screen deliver a confident shooting experience. No IBIS and 1080p video only limit its appeal for hybrid work, but for stills photographers it remains one of the most well-rounded EF-M bodies available.
Street, Travel & Everyday — Fujifilm X100VI (2024): The best fixed-lens camera ever made — 40MP, 7-stop IBIS, film simulations, and a design icon. Wildly oversubscribed for good reason.
