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.

Black & White Photography — M11 Monochrom (2023): The M11 Monochrom is the finest black-and-white camera in the world. A 60MP sensor with no colour filter array produces sharpness and tonal depth no colour camera can match — combined with extended high-ISO performance. Manual focus, no video, and an extraordinary price make it a specialist instrument, but for dedicated B&W photographers it is unmatched.
