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.70 fpsBEST10 fps
StabilizationIn-body stabilisation. Each stop lets you shoot at half the shutter speed without blur, so 8 stops means very steady handheld shots.8 stopsBEST5.5 stops
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 · 1/16000 elec1/4000 mech · 1/8000 elec

VIDEO
Max videoThe highest video resolution it records internally.6KBEST4K
Best 4K frame rateThe fastest 4K frame rate. 60p and above lets you slow footage down smoothly, and 120p gives 5× slow motion.4K 120p4K 60p
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 width1.5x crop
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.12.7 ms · 5.8K full width, CineD—
Log profileA flat picture profile that keeps highlight and shadow detail for colour grading later.V-Log (ARRI LogC3 with paid DMW-SFU3A key)S-Log3
