GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?
Street, Documentary, Travel — Leica M10-R (2020): 40MP rangefinder photography — a deliberate, contemplative experience.
Travel & Vlogging — RX100 VI (2018): The RX100 VI trades fast apertures for a remarkable 24-200mm zoom range — giving it more versatility than any previous model. 4K/30p, 24fps burst, a pop-up EVF, and an articulating screen round out an exceptional compact package. Variable aperture limits low-light performance at the long end, but for travel and events where reach matters, there is no practical alternative at this size.
