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.
Dslr Switchers, Travel & Vlogging — X-S10 (2020): The X-S10 brought IBIS and a fully articulating screen to Fujifilm's mid-range — a compelling DSLR replacement at a price that made Fujifilm accessible to a new audience.
