GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?
Professional Sports, Wildlife & Photojournalism — EOS R1 (2024): Canon's ultimate professional camera — 40fps, a class-leading EVF, and AI AF that simply doesn't miss.
Street, Travel & Everyday Photography — X100F (2017): The X100F is the camera that made the X100 series legendary — 24MP X-Trans III, a hybrid viewfinder, and the best fixed 35mm compact lens available.
Who should buy what
EOS R1 (2024)
- Professional sports and news photographers who cannot miss a shot
- Wildlife photographers needing the fastest AF and burst available
- Photojournalists requiring reliable pro-grade build and connectivity
- Canon R3 owners or 1D X Mark III users upgrading to mirrorless flagship
X100F (2017)
- Street photographers who want a discreet, tactile camera with a fixed 35mm lens
- Travel photographers who prefer one lens and minimal kit
- Fujifilm fans who want the X100 experience at a lower cost than the X100V or VI
- Photographers who value the hybrid OVF/EVF for a rangefinder-like shooting style
