EOS M6 Mark IIvs X-H2
GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?
Portrait & Street — EOS M6 Mark II (2019): The M6 Mark II is the peak of the EF-M system — 32.5MP, 14fps, and Dual Pixel CMOS AF II in a compact rangefinder-style body. No built-in EVF is the main compromise, but the optional EVF-DC2 resolves this. An outstanding used-market buy for photographers who want high resolution and fast AF in a genuinely compact body.
High-Res Stills & Landscape — X-H2 (2022): Fujifilm's highest-resolution X-mount body — 40MP, 8K video, weather sealing, and 7-stop IBIS for serious photographers.
