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, Travel, Documentary — Leica Q2 (2019): The most capable fixed-lens full-frame camera at its launch. Leica quality without compromise.
