GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?
Casual & Vlogging — EOS M50 (2018): The EOS M50 is the most complete-feeling entry-level EF-M camera — built-in EVF, fully articulating screen, Dual Pixel AF, and a well-designed compact body. Its 4K video carries a significant crop and loses Dual Pixel AF, making 1080p the practical option — but for stills and casual video, it remains an excellent used-market buy.
Commercial, Studio & Landscape Photography — GFX 100 (2019): The world's first 100MP mirrorless with IBIS and phase-detect AF — the GFX 100 was a landmark in medium format, but its size and weight are professional-grade.
Who should buy what
EOS M50 (2018)
- Beginner photographers who want an EVF in a compact mirrorless

GFX 100 (2019)

- Studio photographers who want the finest image quality the GFX system can offer
