GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?
First Camera / Beginner Photography — EOS R100 (2023): 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.
Commercial, Portrait & Landscape Photographers — GFX 100S (2021): 102MP medium-format with IBIS and phase-detect AF at a price that made serious large-format imaging available to a new generation of photographers.
