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.

All-Round Full-Frame Photography — Z6 II (2020): The Z6 II is the Nikon most photographers should buy. It's balanced across every discipline — stills, video, autofocus, weather sealing — without overpaying for megapixels you don't need. The Z-mount glass is superb.
