GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?
Vlogging, Content Creation & Travel Video — PowerShot G7X Mark III (2019): The finest vlogging compact available — pocket-sized 4K, a flip screen, mic input, and USB live streaming in one remarkably capable package.
Street, Travel & Everyday Photography — X100F (2017): The X100F is the camera that made the X100 series legendary — 24MP X-Trans III, a hybrid viewfinder, and the best fixed 35mm compact lens available.
Who should buy what
PowerShot G7X Mark III (2019)
- Vloggers and content creators who need 4K video, a flip screen, and a mic input in a pocket-sized camera
- Travellers who want the best possible compact video quality without carrying an interchangeable-lens system
- Live streamers who want USB streaming capability built into a compact camera
- Smartphone upgraders who want significantly better video quality in something nearly as pocketable
X100F (2017)
- Street photographers who want a discreet, tactile camera with a fixed 35mm lens
- Travel photographers who prefer one lens and minimal kit
- Fujifilm fans who want the X100 experience at a lower cost than the X100V or VI
- Photographers who value the hybrid OVF/EVF for a rangefinder-like shooting style
Quick take: The x100f has the highest resolution at 24mp; the x100f is the most affordable. Scroll down for the full spec breakdown.
