Notes on 9 values — test conditions and caveats
- 1Nikon Z5II, High resolution pixel-shift mode: Pixel-shift composite raises resolution to 96MP, but images must be combined in NX Studio on a computer.
- 2Nikon Z6III, High resolution pixel-shift mode: Pixel-shift frames are merged on a computer in NX Studio, not in the camera.
- 3Nikon Z6III, In-body image stabilization: CIPA figure measured with the non-VR NIKKOR Z 24-120mm f/4 S at 120mm.
- 4Nikon Z6III, Continuous shooting (electronic): 60 fps is full-resolution JPEG only; Raw bursts top out at 20 fps, and 120 fps uses a DX crop.
- 5Canon 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.
- 6Nikon Z6III, Pre-burst capture duration: Pre-Release Capture records JPEG only.
- 7Canon 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.
- 8Nikon Z6III, Video dynamic range (log): Nikon states "13+ stops" for N-Log in H.265 10-bit at ISO 800.
- 9Nikon Z6III, USB charging & power delivery: In-camera charging and USB power need a USB-PD source such as Nikon's EH-8P.
