EOS RPvs X-S10
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.
Dslr Switchers, Travel & Vlogging — X-S10 (2020): The X-S10 brought IBIS and a fully articulating screen to Fujifilm's mid-range — a compelling DSLR replacement at a price that made Fujifilm accessible to a new audience.
