EOS R7 — Wildlife, Sports & Action: The EOS R7 is one of the most complete APS-C cameras ever made.

PowerShot G7X Mark III — Vlogging, Content Creation & Travel Video: The finest vlogging compact available — pocket-sized 4K, a flip screen, mic input, and USB live streaming in one remarkably capable package.
