GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?
Entry Full-Frame Stills Photography — EOS RP (2019): An affordable gateway into the RF system. The RP makes sense as a stepping stone camera — if you're committed to Canon RF glass, this is the cheapest full-frame body to buy those lenses for. Just manage expectations on video and battery life.
Vloggers, Travellers & Content Creators — DJI Osmo Pocket 3 (2023): A 1-inch sensor on a 3-axis gimbal in a palm-sized body — the Osmo Pocket 3 makes cinematic stabilised footage as simple as pressing record.
