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.

Entry-Level Mirrorless & Budget E-Mount — A6000 (2014): The Sony that started a generation of E-mount loyalty — 11fps, 24MP, and 179 phase-detect points in a compact body that remained excellent value for nearly a decade.

PowerShot G7X Mark III (2019)
