GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?
Creative Hybrid Shooters & Smartphone Generation — Instax Mini Evo (2022): The smartest Instax camera — digital preview means you only print the shots worth keeping, and 100 creative combinations keep things endlessly interesting.
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.
