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.
Street, Travel & Everyday — Fujifilm X100VI (2024): The best fixed-lens camera ever made — 40MP, 7-stop IBIS, film simulations, and a design icon. Wildly oversubscribed for good reason.
