Verdictwhich should you buy?
PowerShot G7X Mark III — Vlogging, Content Creation & Travel Video: The finest vlogging compact available — pocket-sized 4K, a flip screen, mic input, and USB live streaming in one remarkably capable package.
X100VI — Street, Travel & Everyday: The best fixed-lens camera ever made — 40MP, 7-stop IBIS, film simulations, and a design icon. Wildly oversubscribed for good reason.
