Notes on 28 values — test conditions and caveats
  1. 1Ricoh GR IV, Launch price: Launch MSRP per the review; Ricoh's US store currently lists $1,599.95.
  2. 2Nikon 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.
  3. 3Nikon 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.
  4. 4Ricoh GR IV, In-body image stabilization: Ricoh's 6.0-stop rating applies at frame centre; periphery is rated 4.0 stops (CIPA 2024).
  5. 5Sony RX100 VII, In-body image stabilization: Sony rates the optical (lens-shift) SteadyShot at 4.0 stops at the 200 mm telephoto end, not a body-only CIPA figure.
  6. 6Ricoh GR IV, Sensor type: The sensor is a back-illuminated (BSI) CMOS type; mapped to 'cmos' as no BSI option is listed.
  7. 7Ricoh 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.
  8. 8Sony RX100 VII, Aspect ratios: 4:3, 16:9 and 1:1 sizes are in-camera crop modes over the native 3:2 sensor area.
  9. 9Ricoh GR IV, Continuous shooting (mechanical): The review cites 4 fps continuous without specifying shutter type.
  10. 10Sony RX100 VII, Continuous shooting (mechanical): The 'Hi' burst setting is electronic-shutter only; 10 fps ('Mid') is the fastest mechanical-shutter continuous rate.
  11. 11Nikon Z8, Continuous shooting (electronic): Full-resolution JPEG bursts reach 30 fps; 14-bit RAW bursts top out at 20 fps.
  12. 12Sony RX100 VII, Continuous shooting (electronic): Blackout-free 20 fps continuous includes AF/AE tracking; the separate 'Single Burst' mode takes 7 shots at up to 90 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 Z8, Pre-burst capture duration: The 300 s Pre-Release Capture buffer arrived with firmware 2.0; launch firmware allowed 30 s.
  15. 15Nikon Z9, Pre-burst capture duration: Pre-Release Capture is only available in the C30 and C120 high-speed frame capture modes.
  16. 16Ricoh GR IV, AF subject detection: Only face/eye detection is offered; no animal or vehicle subject recognition is listed.
  17. 17Sony RX100 VII, AF subject detection: Maker names only human and animal recognition (Eye AF / Real-time Tracking); no bird or vehicle categories are listed.
  18. 18Sony RX100 VII, Video codecs: Both XAVC S and AVCHD recording use MPEG-4 AVC/H.264; there is no HEVC/H.265 option.
  19. 19Sony RX100 VII, Raw video recording: Sony's movie-format list contains only XAVC S (H.264) and AVCHD; no raw video output is offered.
  20. 20Sony RX100 VII, Log profile support: S-Log2, S-Log3 and HLG log gammas are selectable via Picture Profile presets PP1–PP10.
  21. 21Nikon Z8, Screen articulation: Nikon's 4-axis monitor tilts both vertically and horizontally but does not swing out like a fully articulated screen.
  22. 22Sony RX100 VII, Screen articulation: Screen tilts up about 180° for selfies and down about 90°; it does not swing outward like a fully articulated display.
  23. 23Ricoh GR IV, Battery life: CIPA-rated at 23°C with a fully charged DB-120 battery.
  24. 24Sony RX100 VII, Battery life: 260 shots assume default monitor settings; Sony also lists 310 shots when 'Auto Monitor Off' is set to 2 s.
  25. 25Ricoh GR IV, Memory card slots: Single microSD slot, plus 53 GB internal memory that cannot record to both at once.
  26. 26Ricoh GR IV, USB charging & power delivery: Battery charges and camera draws power in-body over USB-C; fast charging needs a USB-PD adapter.
  27. 27Sony RX100 VII, USB charging & power delivery: In-body USB charging and power supply work over the Multi/Micro-USB (USB 2.0) terminal — not USB-C.
  28. 28Ricoh GR IV, HDMI port type: Video output is DisplayPort over USB-C; there is no HDMI connector.
