GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?

Dslr Switchers, Travel & Vlogging — X-S10 (2020): The X-S10 brought IBIS and a fully articulating screen to Fujifilm's mid-range — a compelling DSLR replacement at a price that made Fujifilm accessible to a new audience.

Outdoor & Adventure — OM-5 (2022): The toughest camera at this price — IP53 weather sealing and 7.5-stop IBIS built for adventure photographers.
