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.
Travel & Landscape — OM-D E-M5 Mark II (2015): The E-M5 II was the benchmark weather-sealed travel camera of its generation. The 16MP sensor is modest by today's standards but excellent in practice, and the 5-axis IBIS is genuinely useful. Weather sealing, a flip screen, and a high-res composite mode make it a practical companion. A highly capable used-market buy for travel and outdoor photographers who don't need the latest resolution numbers.
