GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?
Landscape, Travel & Street Photography At Medium Format Quality — GFX 100RF (2025): The world's first medium format compact — 102MP, 28mm, and all 20 Fujifilm film simulations in a fixed-lens body.
Entry-Level Full-Frame & Dslr Switchers — Z5 (2020): The most affordable route into full-frame Z — dual card slots, IBIS, and a capable sensor at an accessible price.
