GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?
Adventure, Outdoor Sports & Action — DJI Action 5 Pro (2024): DJI's best action camera — 4K/120p from a large 1/1.3" sensor, 20m waterproofing without a housing, and the best EIS stabilisation in any action camera.
Studio, Portrait & Landscape Photography — GFX 50S (2017): The camera that launched Fujifilm's medium-format revolution — 51MP at a price that made serious large-format imaging possible for the first time.
