GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?
Hybrid Shooters & Professionals — Canon EOS R5 Mark II (2024): The most complete hybrid camera Canon has ever made — 45MP stacked BSI, 30fps burst, 8K/60p RAW, and Canon's legendary Dual Pixel AF in one 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.
