Notes on 19 values — test conditions and caveats
  1. 1Nikon Z 30, Sensor format: DX format is Nikon's name for its APS-C-size sensor (23.5 x 15.7 mm).
  2. 2Nikon Z 30, Native ISO maximum: Settings above ISO 51200 (102400, 204800) are expanded, not native.
  3. 3Canon EOS R6 Mark III, In-body image stabilization: 8.5 stops is Canon's best-case center rating with certain RF lenses; peripheral and other lenses see less, down to 7.5 stops.
  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 Z 30, Aspect ratios: Native DX ratio is 3:2; 1:1 and 16:9 are in-camera crop modes.
  6. 6Nikon Z 30, Continuous shooting (mechanical): Nikon's in-house measured maximum; the rate is approximate.
  7. 7Nikon Z8, Continuous shooting (electronic): Full-resolution JPEG bursts reach 30 fps; 14-bit RAW bursts top out at 20 fps.
  8. 8Canon EOS R6 Mark III, Pre-burst capture duration: Works only in the 40 fps electronic-shutter mode; Canon states it as up to 20 frames.
  9. 9Nikon Z8, Pre-burst capture duration: The 300 s Pre-Release Capture buffer arrived with firmware 2.0; launch firmware allowed 30 s.
  10. 10Canon EOS R6 Mark III, AF subject detection: Car detection is tuned for racing cars, per Canon.
  11. 11Canon EOS R6 Mark III, Max video resolution: 7K is available only in RAW Video mode; standard MP4 recording tops out at 4K.
  12. 12Canon EOS R6 Mark III, 4K max frame rate (full width): 4K 120p uses the full width but is not oversampled; oversampled 4K tops out at 60p.
  13. 13Canon EOS R6 Mark III, Video dynamic range (log): Canon's claim of 15+ stops in its Canon Log profiles, not a lab measurement.
  14. 14Nikon Z 30, Viewfinder resolution: The Z 30 has no electronic viewfinder; compose on the rear LCD.
  15. 15Nikon Z8, Screen articulation: Nikon's 4-axis monitor tilts both vertically and horizontally but does not swing out like a fully articulated screen.
  16. 16Canon EOS R6 Mark III, Battery life: 620 shots is CIPA's rating using the rear LCD (not the viewfinder) at 23°C; real-world results vary.
  17. 17Nikon Z 30, Battery life: Figure is for the EN-EL25 battery; shot count differs with EN-EL25a.
  18. 18Canon EOS R6 Mark III, USB charging & power delivery: USB-C charging and power need a capable USB-PD source such as Canon's PD-E2; not every power bank works.
  19. 19Nikon Z 30, USB charging & power delivery: In-camera USB charging/power needs Nikon's optional EH-7P or EH-8P adapter.
