GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?
Video, Street, Travel, Portrait — X-T3 (2018): The camera that proved APS-C could punch above full-frame on video.
Street, Documentary & Photographic Purists — M11-D (2024): A rangefinder with no screen — 60MP, manual focus, total presence. The most focused camera ever made.
Who should buy what
X-T3 (2018)
- Hybrid shooters who want 4K 60fps 10-bit without full-frame prices
