GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?
Entry To Full-Frame Mirrorless & Rf Lens Exploration — EOS R (2018): The RF mount's founding camera — 30MP, Dual Pixel CMOS AF, and the proof-of-concept that launched Canon's mirrorless era.
Beginners & Vlogging — EOS R10 (2022): Canon's most affordable RF body — Dual Pixel AF and a vari-angle screen in a compact, lightweight package.
Vlogging, Content Creation & Travel Video — PowerShot G7X Mark III (2019): The finest vlogging compact available — pocket-sized 4K, a flip screen, mic input, and USB live streaming in one remarkably capable package.
