Notes on 33 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. 2Ricoh GR IV, Launch price: Launch MSRP per the review; Ricoh's US store currently lists $1,599.95.
  3. 3Nikon Z6III, High resolution pixel-shift mode: Pixel-shift frames are merged on a computer in NX Studio, not in the camera.
  4. 4Nikon Z6III, In-body image stabilization: CIPA figure measured with the non-VR NIKKOR Z 24-120mm f/4 S at 120mm.
  5. 5Nikon 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.
  6. 6Canon EOS R50, In-body image stabilization: No in-body stabilisation; shake control relies on lens IS or Movie Digital IS.
  7. 7Ricoh GR IV, In-body image stabilization: Ricoh's 6.0-stop rating applies at frame centre; periphery is rated 4.0 stops (CIPA 2024).
  8. 8Ricoh GR IV, Sensor type: The sensor is a back-illuminated (BSI) CMOS type; mapped to 'cmos' as no BSI option is listed.
  9. 9Ricoh GR IV, Aspect ratios: 3:2 is native to the 23.3 x 15.5 mm sensor; 4:3, 1:1 and 16:9 are in-camera crop modes.
  10. 10Ricoh GR IV, Continuous shooting (mechanical): The review cites 4 fps continuous without specifying shutter type.
  11. 11Nikon 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.
  12. 12Nikon Z8, Continuous shooting (electronic): Full-resolution JPEG bursts reach 30 fps; 14-bit RAW bursts top out at 20 fps.
  13. 13Ricoh GR IV, Max mechanical shutter speed: 1/4000 s requires F5.6 or a smaller aperture; at F2.8 the limit is 1/2500 s.
  14. 14Nikon Z6III, Pre-burst capture duration: Pre-Release Capture records JPEG only.
  15. 15Nikon Z8, Pre-burst capture duration: The 300 s Pre-Release Capture buffer arrived with firmware 2.0; launch firmware allowed 30 s.
  16. 16Canon EOS R50, Pre-burst capture duration: No pre-capture mode appears anywhere in Canon's official R50 specifications, so it is treated as absent.
  17. 17Ricoh GR IV, AF subject detection: Only face/eye detection is offered; no animal or vehicle subject recognition is listed.
  18. 18Canon EOS R50, Raw video recording: Canon lists only MP4 recording with H.264 or HEVC; no raw video is offered internally or externally.
  19. 19Canon EOS R50, Video bit depth: Standard Rec.709 recording is 8-bit; 10-bit output requires HDR PQ to be switched on.
  20. 20Canon EOS R50, Log profile support: No Canon Log profile; HDR PQ (a PQ gamma curve) is available instead, which is not a log curve.
  21. 21Nikon Z6III, Video dynamic range (log): Nikon states "13+ stops" for N-Log in H.265 10-bit at ISO 800.
  22. 22Nikon Z8, Screen articulation: Nikon's 4-axis monitor tilts both vertically and horizontally but does not swing out like a fully articulated screen.
  23. 23Canon EOS R50, Battery life: CIPA test with the supplied LP-E17 in power-saving mode; viewfinder shooting is rated at about 310 shots.
  24. 24Ricoh GR IV, Battery life: CIPA-rated at 23°C with a fully charged DB-120 battery.
  25. 25Ricoh GR IV, Memory card slots: Single microSD slot, plus 53 GB internal memory that cannot record to both at once.
  26. 26Canon EOS R50, Weather sealing: Canon's own spec sheet also lists water/dust resistance as not provided, so treat the body as unsealed.
  27. 27Canon EOS R50, Weight: Black body with battery and card per CIPA; the white version is 376 g with battery and card.
  28. 28Nikon Z6III, USB charging & power delivery: In-camera charging and USB power need a USB-PD source such as Nikon's EH-8P.
  29. 29Canon EOS R50, USB charging & power delivery: USB-C charging works with the supplied LP-E17; unauthenticated third-party batteries may not charge.
  30. 30Ricoh GR IV, USB charging & power delivery: Battery charges and camera draws power in-body over USB-C; fast charging needs a USB-PD adapter.
  31. 31Canon EOS R50, Minimum operating temperature: Rated operating range is 0–40 °C at up to 85% humidity.
  32. 32Canon EOS R50, Headphone port: Canon's full port list covers USB-C, mic-in, HDMI micro and the shoe only — no headphone jack.
  33. 33Ricoh GR IV, HDMI port type: Video output is DisplayPort over USB-C; there is no HDMI connector.
