GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?
Wedding, Portrait, Sports, Video — EOS R6 (2020): The camera that made Canon's RF system worth taking seriously.
Retro Compact Collectors — Cyber-shot DSC-T700 (2008): A touchscreen Sony from 2008 — the DSC-T700 was ahead of its time with a 3.5" touch display, but belongs in a collection rather than a kit bag today.
