  5. 5Canon EOS R100, In-body image stabilization: No in-body stabilization; shake correction relies on IS lenses or Movie Digital IS.
  6. 6Canon EOS R100, Continuous shooting (electronic): The electronic (silent) shutter does not support continuous shooting on this camera.
  7. 7Sony a1 II, Pre-burst capture duration: Pre-capture buffers between 0.03 s and 1 s of frames before full shutter press.
  8. 8Sony a1 II, 4K max frame rate: 4K 100p/120p recording uses a 1.1x crop.

  17. 17Sony a1 II, Weather sealing: Sony specifies dust- and moisture-resistant sealing; no formal IP rating is published.
