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.
Creative Film Shooters Who Want More From Their Half-Frame — Ektar H35N (2023): Everything the H35 was, plus a multiple-exposure mode that opens up a world of creative in-camera double exposures. The natural upgrade for H35 fans.
