  1. 1Sony a1 II, Release date: Announced 19 November 2024; first retail availability was December 2024.
  2. 2Sony a1 II, High resolution pixel-shift mode: 4- or 16-shot pixel shift composites are merged with Sony's Imaging Edge Desktop PC software.
  3. 3Canon EOS R6 Mark II, Native ISO maximum: ISO 204800 (H) is an expanded setting; the native range tops out at ISO 102400.
  4. 4Sony a1 II, In-body image stabilization: 8.5 stops is the CIPA centre rating; 7.0 stops at the periphery.
  5. 5Canon EOS R6 Mark II, In-body image stabilization: The 8-stop rating combines lens optical IS with in-body IS; results vary by lens.
  6. 6Sony RX100 VII, In-body image stabilization: Sony rates the optical (lens-shift) SteadyShot at 4.0 stops at the 200 mm telephoto end, not a body-only CIPA figure.
  7. 7Sony RX100 VII, Aspect ratios: 4:3, 16:9 and 1:1 sizes are in-camera crop modes over the native 3:2 sensor area.
  8. 8Sony RX100 VII, Continuous shooting (mechanical): The 'Hi' burst setting is electronic-shutter only; 10 fps ('Mid') is the fastest mechanical-shutter continuous rate.
  9. 9Sony RX100 VII, Continuous shooting (electronic): Blackout-free 20 fps continuous includes AF/AE tracking; the separate 'Single Burst' mode takes 7 shots at up to 90 fps.
  10. 10Sony a1 II, Pre-burst capture duration: Pre-capture buffers between 0.03 s and 1 s of frames before full shutter press.
  11. 11Canon EOS R5 Mark II, Pre-burst capture duration: Up to 15 shots can be buffered before you fully press the shutter, which is about half a second at 30 fps.
  12. 12Canon EOS R6 Mark II, Pre-burst capture duration: Pre-release capture works in RAW burst mode and buffers up to 0.5s of action before full shutter press.
  13. 13Sony RX100 VII, AF subject detection: Maker names only human and animal recognition (Eye AF / Real-time Tracking); no bird or vehicle categories are listed.
  14. 14Sony a1 II, 4K max frame rate: 4K 100p/120p recording uses a 1.1x crop.
  15. 15Canon EOS R5 Mark II, Video codecs: Internal codecs are XF-HEVC S, XF-AVC S and H.264 MP4; ProRes RAW is recorded via HDMI to an external recorder.
  16. 16Canon EOS R6 Mark II, Video codecs: Movies record H.264 by default; H.265/HEVC is used when Canon Log 3 or HDR PQ is enabled.
  17. 17Sony RX100 VII, Video codecs: Both XAVC S and AVCHD recording use MPEG-4 AVC/H.264; there is no HEVC/H.265 option.
  18. 18Sony a1 II, 4K max frame rate (full width): Full-width 4K tops out at 59.94p; 4K 100/120p requires a 1.1x crop.
  19. 19Sony a1 II, Raw video recording: 16-bit RAW video can only be output over HDMI to an external recorder; no internal RAW recording.
  20. 20Canon EOS R6 Mark II, Raw video recording: 6K ProRes RAW requires an external Atomos Ninja V+ recorder connected over HDMI.
  21. 21Sony RX100 VII, Raw video recording: Sony's movie-format list contains only XAVC S (H.264) and AVCHD; no raw video output is offered.
  22. 22Canon EOS R6 Mark II, Video bit depth: Standard profiles record 8-bit 4:2:0; 10-bit 4:2:2 requires Canon Log 3 or HDR PQ.
  23. 23Sony RX100 VII, Log profile support: S-Log2, S-Log3 and HLG log gammas are selectable via Picture Profile presets PP1–PP10.
  24. 24Sony RX100 VII, Screen articulation: Screen tilts up about 180° for selfies and down about 90°; it does not swing outward like a fully articulated display.
  25. 25Sony a1 II, Battery life: CIPA rating is 520 shots per charge on the rear LCD; 420 shots with the viewfinder.
  26. 26Canon EOS R6 Mark II, Battery life: 760 shots is the CIPA power-saving rating with the rear LCD; Canon's smooth-mode rating is 580 shots.
  27. 27Sony RX100 VII, Battery life: 260 shots assume default monitor settings; Sony also lists 310 shots when 'Auto Monitor Off' is set to 2 s.
  28. 28Sony a1 II, Weather sealing: Sony specifies dust- and moisture-resistant sealing; no formal IP rating is published.
  29. 29Canon EOS R6 Mark II, Weather sealing: Sealed dust- and water-resistant build, not IP-rated; Canon cautions ingress cannot be fully prevented.
