GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?

Street, Travel, Documentary — Leica Q2 (2019): The most capable fixed-lens full-frame camera at its launch. Leica quality without compromise.

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.
