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.
Street, Travel & Everyday Photography — X100F (2017): The X100F is the camera that made the X100 series legendary — 24MP X-Trans III, a hybrid viewfinder, and the best fixed 35mm compact lens available.
