GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?
Street, Documentary, Travel — Leica M10-R (2020): 40MP rangefinder photography — a deliberate, contemplative experience.
Landscape & Outdoor — KF (2022): The Pentax KF is a rare thing — a weather-sealed DSLR with in-body stabilisation and an articulating screen at an accessible price. Video is modest at 1080p/60p, but for outdoor and landscape photographers who prefer optical viewfinders and want real weather sealing, the KF delivers in a format that is increasingly hard to find.
