GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?
Street, Documentary & Rangefinder Enthusiasts — Fujifilm X-Pro3 (2019): The most opinionated camera Fujifilm makes — a hidden screen and hybrid OVF enforce deliberate photography, rewarding photographers who slow down.
Hybrid & Video — S1 II (2025): The S1 II is the full-frame L-mount hybrid camera Panasonic's system has been waiting for — phase-detect AF, 4K/120p, class-leading IBIS, and a professional build in one complete package. It addresses every weakness of the original S1 and positions Lumix firmly back in the conversation for serious hybrid shooters.
