GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?
Commercial, Studio & Landscape Professionals — Fujifilm GFX 100S II (2024): 102MP medium-format quality in the most accessible GFX body — the best entry point to the Fujifilm GFX system.
Black & White Photography — M11 Monochrom (2023): The M11 Monochrom is the finest black-and-white camera in the world. A 60MP sensor with no colour filter array produces sharpness and tonal depth no colour camera can match — combined with extended high-ISO performance. Manual focus, no video, and an extraordinary price make it a specialist instrument, but for dedicated B&W photographers it is unmatched.
