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.
Water Sports, Beach Holidays & Outdoor Adventures On A Budget — PixPro WPZ2 (2021): A practical, affordable waterproof camera for those who want a traditional zoom compact rather than a GoPro-style action camera.
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
PixPro WPZ2 (2021)
- Snorkellers and divers who want a traditional zoom compact underwater
- Holiday photographers who want one rugged camera for beach and travel
- Buyers who want waterproofing deeper than GoPro without a housing
- Budget-conscious adventurers who don't need 4K video
