Outer sizes are exact, from the makers' dimensions. Shapes are drawn by us to show each body style; the dashed circle is the lens mount at its real diameter.
BurstThe fastest frames per second the maker quotes. Top speeds often use the electronic shutter and may limit autofocus. Higher helps for sports, wildlife and kids.14 fps30 fpsBEST
StabilizationIn-body stabilisation. Each stop lets you shoot at half the shutter speed without blur, so 8 stops means very steady handheld shots.5 stops6.5 stopsBEST
ShutterFastest mechanical and electronic shutter speeds. The silent electronic shutter can freeze faster motion, but may bend fast subjects on slower sensors.1/8000 mech · 1/8000 elecElectronic only, 1/8000
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 · down to −6 EVPeople, animals, vehicles, trains, aircraft · down to −6 EV
VIDEO
Max videoThe highest video resolution it records internally.4K6KBEST
Rolling shutterHow fast the sensor reads out, measured in lab tests. Slower readout bends fast-moving subjects and quick pans in video and electronic-shutter photos; under 10 ms is very good.—22 ms · 4K, DPReview
Colour depth10-bit records far more colour detail than 8-bit, so footage holds up when you grade it. Worth it if you edit video.8-bit 4:2:010-bit 4:2:2
Log profileA flat picture profile that keeps highlight and shadow detail for colour grading later.N-LogV-Log
