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.
Vlogging, Content Creation & Lightweight Travel — DC-G100D (2023): The lightest capable MFT mirrorless for vloggers — phase-detect AF, directional audio, and the full Lumix lens ecosystem under 350g.
