GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?
Commercial, Studio & Landscape Photography — GFX 100 (2019): The world's first 100MP mirrorless with IBIS and phase-detect AF — the GFX 100 was a landmark in medium format, but its size and weight are professional-grade.
Street & Portrait Photography — X-T30 II (2021): Flagship sensor at a mid-range price — the rare camera that makes you want to go out and shoot.
