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.
Pocket Vlogging — ZV-1 II (2023): The best pocket vlogging camera — 1-inch sensor, ultrawide zoom, flip screen, and real-time Eye AF in a shirt pocket.
