GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?
Travel & Vlogging — PowerShot G7X Mark II (2016): The G7X Mark II is one of the most popular compact cameras ever made — and for good reason. A fast f/1.8-2.8 lens, 20MP 1-inch sensor, flip-up selfie screen, and Micro USB charging combine in one of the most vlog-friendly compact cameras available. No 4K and no EVF are the main compromises, but the G7X II remains outstanding value on the used market.
Film Photography Enthusiasts & Fujifilm X-Mount Collectors — X-Pro1 (2012): The camera that started it all — slow, imperfect, and still uniquely loveable for the quality of images it produces.
