Verdictwhich should you buy?
EOS R100 — First Camera / Beginner Photography: The R100 does the basics well at the lowest possible price point. Its main value is as a gateway into the Canon RF ecosystem — the lenses you buy now will work on any Canon body you upgrade to later. Modest ambitions, reliably met.
PowerShot G7X Mark III — Vlogging, Content Creation & Travel Video: The finest vlogging compact available — pocket-sized 4K, a flip screen, mic input, and USB live streaming in one remarkably capable package.
