SensorResolution, size and build. Stacked sensors read out fastest, which helps fast action and cuts rolling-shutter wobble.24.5MP · Full-frame · Partially stacked
Native ISOThe standard sensitivity range. Higher ISO lets you shoot in dimmer light, at the cost of more noise.100–102,400
ShutterFastest mechanical and electronic shutter speeds. The silent electronic shutter can freeze faster motion, but may bend fast subjects on slower sensors.Electronic only, 1/25600
Flash syncThe fastest shutter speed you can use with a regular flash. Higher is better for flash outdoors in bright light.1/50 s
AutofocusWhat the camera recognises and tracks automatically, and how dark it can get before focus struggles (lower EV is better in low light).People, animals, birds · down to −5 EV

Video

Max resolutionThe highest resolution and frame rate it records internally. More than 4K gives room to crop or stabilise in editing.6K 60p
Best 4K frame rateThe fastest 4K frame rate. 60p and above lets you slow footage down smoothly, and 120p gives 5× slow motion.4K 120p
Crop at 4K 60pWhether 4K 60p uses the full sensor width. A crop makes your lens act longer, so wide shots get harder.None, full width
Log profileA flat picture profile that keeps highlight and shadow detail for colour grading later.L-Log
Raw videoRaw keeps the most image data for editing, at much larger file sizes. Some cameras only record it to an external recorder.ProRes RAW HQ / ProRes RAW 12-bit (internal, up to 6K 30p)
Open gateRecords the whole sensor area, so you can crop the same clip to both widescreen and vertical video.Yes
Audio jacksA mic input for better sound, and a headphone jack to check what you are recording.Mic only
HDMIFor an external monitor or recorder. Full-size HDMI is sturdier than micro HDMI.Full-size
Cooling fanA built-in fan lets the camera record for long stretches without overheating.No
