Latest GearAtlas reviews
Hands-on verdicts from our editors
Each review is bylined, scored against a consistent rubric, and based on real shooting time with the gear.
Fujifilm X100VI
The X100VI is the rare camera that makes you shoot more — pocketable, gorgeous out of camera, and genuinely improved by IBIS and 40MP. Just be ready to fight for one at MSRP.

Sony A7 IV
Years on, the A7 IV is still the safest hybrid full-frame you can buy: reliable autofocus, a huge lens ecosystem, and a stills/video balance that suits almost everyone. The rolling shutter and 4K/60 crop are the only real asterisks.
