Notes on 25 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 Z 30, Sensor format: DX format is Nikon's name for its APS-C-size sensor (23.5 x 15.7 mm).
  3. 3Sony a7 V, Native ISO maximum: Refers to standard still image shooting prior to ISO expansion.
  4. 4Nikon Z 30, Native ISO maximum: Settings above ISO 51200 (102400, 204800) are expanded, not native.
  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. 6Canon 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.
  7. 7Nikon Z 30, Aspect ratios: Native DX ratio is 3:2; 1:1 and 16:9 are in-camera crop modes.
  8. 8Sony a7 V, Continuous shooting (mechanical): Maximum continuous shooting speed achieved using mechanical shutter in Hi+ mode.
  9. 9Nikon Z 30, Continuous shooting (mechanical): Nikon's in-house measured maximum; the rate is approximate.
  10. 10Sony a7 V, Continuous shooting (electronic): Maximum continuous shooting speed achieved using electronic shutter in Hi+ mode.
  11. 11Canon 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.
  12. 12Canon EOS R6 Mark III, AF subject detection: Car detection is tuned for racing cars, per Canon.
  13. 13Canon EOS R6 Mark III, Max video resolution: 7K is available only in RAW Video mode; standard MP4 recording tops out at 4K.
  14. 14Sony a7 V, 4K max frame rate: Maximum 4K frame rate is available in XAVC HS 4K 4:2:0 10-bit mode.
  15. 15Sony 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.
  16. 16Canon 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.
  17. 17Canon EOS R6 Mark III, Video dynamic range (log): Canon's claim of 15+ stops in its Canon Log profiles, not a lab measurement.
  18. 18Nikon Z 30, Viewfinder resolution: The Z 30 has no electronic viewfinder; compose on the rear LCD.
  19. 19Sony a7 V, Viewfinder magnification: Measured with a 50mm lens focused at infinity at -1 m⁻¹.
  20. 20Sony a7 V, Battery life: Measured using the LCD monitor under standard CIPA test conditions.
  21. 21Canon 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.
  22. 22Nikon Z 30, Battery life: Figure is for the EN-EL25 battery; shot count differs with EN-EL25a.
  23. 23Sony a7 V, Depth: Overall maximum depth including the viewfinder eyepiece is 82.4 mm.
  24. 24Canon 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.
  25. 25Nikon Z 30, USB charging & power delivery: In-camera USB charging/power needs Nikon's optional EH-7P or EH-8P adapter.
