GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?
Professional Video, Documentary & Hybrid Commercial Work — EOS R5 C (2022): Canon's R5 reborn for cinema — 8K RAW unlimited, Cinema EOS colour science, and 45MP stills in a weather-sealed body.
Landscape & Travel — X-H1 (2018): The X-H1 was Fujifilm's first IBIS-equipped camera and remains the most ergonomic X-mount body ever made. Its deep grip and build quality are class-leading. The 24.3MP X-Trans III sensor delivers outstanding image quality. Video spec is slightly dated but F-Log recording is supported. An excellent used-market buy for photographers who want Fujifilm's film simulations with body-based stabilisation at a fraction of current prices.
