Notes on 24 values — test conditions and caveats
  1. 1Canon EOS R50, Launch price: US RRP at launch as listed by Trusted Reviews; the page does not state whether it is body-only.
  2. 2Nikon Z6III, High resolution pixel-shift mode: Pixel-shift frames are merged on a computer in NX Studio, not in the camera.
  3. 3Nikon Z6III, In-body image stabilization: CIPA figure measured with the non-VR NIKKOR Z 24-120mm f/4 S at 120mm.
  4. 4Nikon 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.
  5. 5Nikon 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.
  6. 6Canon EOS R50, In-body image stabilization: No in-body stabilisation; shake control relies on lens IS or Movie Digital IS.
  7. 7Nikon 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.
  8. 8Nikon Z8, Continuous shooting (electronic): Full-resolution JPEG bursts reach 30 fps; 14-bit RAW bursts top out at 20 fps.
  9. 9Nikon Z6III, Pre-burst capture duration: Pre-Release Capture records JPEG only.
  10. 10Nikon Z8, Pre-burst capture duration: The 300 s Pre-Release Capture buffer arrived with firmware 2.0; launch firmware allowed 30 s.
  11. 11Nikon Z9, Pre-burst capture duration: Pre-Release Capture is only available in the C30 and C120 high-speed frame capture modes.
  12. 12Canon EOS R50, Pre-burst capture duration: No pre-capture mode appears anywhere in Canon's official R50 specifications, so it is treated as absent.
  13. 13Canon EOS R50, Raw video recording: Canon lists only MP4 recording with H.264 or HEVC; no raw video is offered internally or externally.
  14. 14Canon EOS R50, Video bit depth: Standard Rec.709 recording is 8-bit; 10-bit output requires HDR PQ to be switched on.
  15. 15Canon EOS R50, Log profile support: No Canon Log profile; HDR PQ (a PQ gamma curve) is available instead, which is not a log curve.
  16. 16Nikon Z6III, Video dynamic range (log): Nikon states "13+ stops" for N-Log in H.265 10-bit at ISO 800.
  17. 17Nikon Z8, Screen articulation: Nikon's 4-axis monitor tilts both vertically and horizontally but does not swing out like a fully articulated screen.
  18. 18Canon EOS R50, Battery life: CIPA test with the supplied LP-E17 in power-saving mode; viewfinder shooting is rated at about 310 shots.
  19. 19Canon EOS R50, Weather sealing: Canon's own spec sheet also lists water/dust resistance as not provided, so treat the body as unsealed.
  20. 20Canon EOS R50, Weight: Black body with battery and card per CIPA; the white version is 376 g with battery and card.
  21. 21Nikon Z6III, USB charging & power delivery: In-camera charging and USB power need a USB-PD source such as Nikon's EH-8P.
  22. 22Canon EOS R50, USB charging & power delivery: USB-C charging works with the supplied LP-E17; unauthenticated third-party batteries may not charge.
  23. 23Canon EOS R50, Minimum operating temperature: Rated operating range is 0–40 °C at up to 85% humidity.
  24. 24Canon EOS R50, Headphone port: Canon's full port list covers USB-C, mic-in, HDMI micro and the shoe only — no headphone jack.
