GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?
Professional Hybrid Shooters, Portrait & Wildlife — EOS R5 (2020): A landmark camera — 8K video and 45MP in one body set the standard for what mirrorless could be.
Landscape, Travel & Street Photography At Medium Format Quality — GFX 100RF (2025): The world's first medium format compact — 102MP, 28mm, and all 20 Fujifilm film simulations in a fixed-lens body.
Who should buy what
EOS R5 (2020)
- Professional photographers who need both resolution and video in one body
- Wildlife and sports photographers who want top AF with 20fps burst
- Hybrid shooters who need 8K or 4K/120p alongside high-resolution stills
- R5 Mark II buyers on a budget — the R5 still delivers exceptional results
GFX 100RF (2025)
- Landscape photographers who want medium format resolution without a system of interchangeable lenses
- Leica Q3 owners who want a step up in resolution to 102MP medium format
- Fujifilm GFX users who want a compact fixed-lens body for travel alongside their system lenses
