GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?
Street, Travel & Documentary Photography — X-T1 (2014): The camera that put Fujifilm back on the map — weather sealed, a class-leading EVF, physical dials, and X-Trans colour that earned a generation of loyal fans.
Street & Documentary — M10 (2017): The M10 returned Leica to its roots — thinner, cleaner, and video-free by design. The 24MP sensor is the perfect resolution for a manual-focus rangefinder. The simplified control layout respects the M tradition without digital clutter. A camera for photographers who want to slow down and engage with every frame. One of the most satisfying cameras to use — assuming you have M-mount glass to pair with it.
