Notes on 28 values — test conditions and caveats
  1. 1Sony a7 IV, Native ISO maximum: Native range tops out at ISO 51200; 50-204800 requires expanded ISO settings.
  2. 2Canon EOS R100, Native ISO maximum: ISO 25600 (H) is an expanded setting, not a native sensitivity.
  3. 3Nikon Z8, In-body image stabilization: The 6.0-stop figure applies only with Synchro VR-compatible Nikkor Z lenses; the standard body rating is 5.5 stops.
  4. 4Sony a7 IV, In-body image stabilization: CIPA rating measured with the 50mm F1.4 ZA test lens attached.
  5. 5Canon EOS R100, In-body image stabilization: No in-body stabilization; shake correction relies on IS lenses or Movie Digital IS.
  6. 6Sony a7 IV, Continuous shooting (mechanical): 10 fps applies to compressed RAW/JPEG/HEIF; drops to 6 fps for lossless or uncompressed RAW.
  7. 7Nikon Z8, Continuous shooting (electronic): Full-resolution JPEG bursts reach 30 fps; 14-bit RAW bursts top out at 20 fps.
  8. 8Canon EOS R100, Continuous shooting (electronic): The electronic (silent) shutter does not support continuous shooting on this camera.
  9. 9Nikon Z8, Pre-burst capture duration: The 300 s Pre-Release Capture buffer arrived with firmware 2.0; launch firmware allowed 30 s.
  10. 10Sony a7 IV, 4K max frame rate: 4K 60p is only available in Super35mm crop; full-frame 4K tops out at 30p.
  11. 11Canon EOS R50 V, 4K max frame rate (full width): Full-width 4K tops out at 29.97 fps; 4K 50p/60p uses a crop to 64% of the sensor's horizontal area.
  12. 12Sony a7 IV, 4K max frame rate (full width): 4K 60p requires the Super35mm crop; full-width 4K is limited to 30p.
  13. 13Canon EOS R100, 4K max frame rate (full width): All 4K recording uses a ~1.6x centre crop, so no full-width 4K mode exists.
  14. 14Sony a7 IV, Raw video recording: No internal or external raw recording; HDMI output tops out at 10-bit 4:2:2.
  15. 15Sony a7 IV, Video dynamic range (log): Sony's claim for S-Log3 per internal tests; stated as 15+ stops.

  21. 21Canon EOS R50 V, Battery life: Canon's CIPA rating uses the supplied LP-E17 battery with the LCD in power-saving mode.
