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.

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.

↓ Full specifications below

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

X100F (2017)

  • Street photographers who want a discreet, tactile camera with a fixed 35mm lens
  • Travel photographers who prefer one lens and minimal kit
  • Fujifilm fans who want the X100 experience at a lower cost than the X100V or VI
  • Photographers who value the hybrid OVF/EVF for a rangefinder-like shooting style

Quick take: The eos r5 has the highest resolution at 45mp; the x100f is the most affordable; only the eos r5 is weather sealed. Scroll down for the full spec breakdown.
