GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?
Documentary & Street — M11-P (2023): The M11-P is the M11 made more discreet and verifiable — all-black with no logo, and the world's first camera with Content Credentials built in. The same 60MP rangefinder brilliance as the M11, with added significance for documentary and journalistic work where image authenticity cannot be disputed.
Travel, Outdoor & Adventure Photography — OM-3 (2024): The ideal mid-range OM System camera — weather sealed, class-leading IBIS, and superb computational features in a compact body.
