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.
Street, Travel & Documentary Photography — X-T1 (2014): The camera that put Fujifilm back on the map — weather sealed, a class-leading EVF, physical dials, and X-Trans colour that earned a generation of loyal fans.
