  4. 4Nikon Z9, In-body image stabilization: The 6.0-stop rating requires Synchro VR, combining in-body 5-axis VR with 2-axis lens VR on compatible lenses.
  5. 5Sony 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.

  14. 14Canon 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.
  15. 15Sony a1 II, 4K max frame rate (full width): Full-width 4K tops out at 59.94p; 4K 100/120p requires a 1.1x crop.

  17. 17Sony RX100 VII, Raw video recording: Sony's movie-format list contains only XAVC S (H.264) and AVCHD; no raw video output is offered.

  21. 21Canon EOS R50 V, Battery life: Canon's CIPA rating uses the supplied LP-E17 battery with the LCD in power-saving mode.
  22. 22Sony a1 II, Battery life: CIPA rating is 520 shots per charge on the rear LCD; 420 shots with the viewfinder.
  23. 23Sony RX100 VII, Battery life: 260 shots assume default monitor settings; Sony also lists 310 shots when 'Auto Monitor Off' is set to 2 s.
