Notes on 30 values — test conditions and caveats
  1. 1Sony a7 V, High resolution pixel-shift mode: No in-camera pixel shift; Sony's Extended Hi-Res merges burst frames later in its desktop software.
  2. 2Nikon Z6III, High resolution pixel-shift mode: Pixel-shift frames are merged on a computer in NX Studio, not in the camera.
  3. 3Sony a7 V, Native ISO maximum: Refers to standard still image shooting prior to ISO expansion.
  4. 4Canon EOS R6 Mark II, Native ISO maximum: ISO 204800 (H) is an expanded setting; the native range tops out at ISO 102400.
  5. 5Sony a7 V, In-body image stabilization: Measured at the center with an FE 50mm F1.2 GM lens mounted per CIPA 2024 standards with long exposure NR off.
  6. 6Nikon Z6III, In-body image stabilization: CIPA figure measured with the non-VR NIKKOR Z 24-120mm f/4 S at 120mm.
  7. 7Nikon 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.
  8. 8Canon EOS R6 Mark II, In-body image stabilization: The 8-stop rating combines lens optical IS with in-body IS; results vary by lens.
  9. 9Sony a7 V, Continuous shooting (mechanical): Maximum continuous shooting speed achieved using mechanical shutter in Hi+ mode.
  10. 10Sony a7 V, Continuous shooting (electronic): Maximum continuous shooting speed achieved using electronic shutter in Hi+ mode.
  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. 13Nikon Z6III, Pre-burst capture duration: Pre-Release Capture records JPEG only.
  14. 14Nikon Z8, Pre-burst capture duration: The 300 s Pre-Release Capture buffer arrived with firmware 2.0; launch firmware allowed 30 s.
  15. 15Canon 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.
  16. 16Sony a7 V, 4K max frame rate: Maximum 4K frame rate is available in XAVC HS 4K 4:2:0 10-bit mode.
  17. 17Canon 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.
  18. 18Sony a7 V, 4K max frame rate (full width): 4K 120p needs an APS-C/Super 35 crop; the full sensor width tops out at 4K 60p.
  19. 19Canon EOS R6 Mark II, Raw video recording: 6K ProRes RAW requires an external Atomos Ninja V+ recorder connected over HDMI.
  20. 20Canon 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.
  21. 21Nikon Z6III, Video dynamic range (log): Nikon states "13+ stops" for N-Log in H.265 10-bit at ISO 800.
  22. 22Sony a7 V, Viewfinder magnification: Measured with a 50mm lens focused at infinity at -1 m⁻¹.
  23. 23Nikon Z8, Screen articulation: Nikon's 4-axis monitor tilts both vertically and horizontally but does not swing out like a fully articulated screen.
  24. 24Sony a7 V, Battery life: Measured using the LCD monitor under standard CIPA test conditions.
  25. 25Canon 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.
  26. 26Canon EOS R6 Mark II, Weather sealing: Sealed dust- and water-resistant build, not IP-rated; Canon cautions ingress cannot be fully prevented.
  27. 27Sony a7 V, Depth: Overall maximum depth including the viewfinder eyepiece is 82.4 mm.
  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 R6 Mark II, USB charging & power delivery: In-body USB charging and power supply require Canon's optional PD-E1 USB power adapter.
  30. 30Canon EOS R6 Mark II, Minimum operating temperature: Canon's product manual rates 0–40°C; regional Canon spec sheets list a 2°C minimum.
