Release year20252024
Sensor26.1 MP APS-C X-Trans CMOS 4

APS-C is a sensor size smaller than full frame and common in mirrorless cameras. X-Trans is Fujifilm's own colour filter layout.

Fujifilm		35 mm full-frame (35.9 × 24.0 mm) Exmor RS stacked CMOS; approx. 50.1 MP effective

The stacked design allows very fast sensor readout, reducing rolling-shutter distortion with the electronic shutter and enabling blackout-free shooting.

AutofocusHybrid AF with phase detection down to −7 EV · subject detection: animal, bird, car, motorcycle and bike, airplane, train, insect, drone

−7 EV shows that focusing can work in very dark scenes; the lower the value, the less light is needed.

Fujifilm		759-point phase-detection hybrid AF covering about 92% of the sensor; human, animal, bird, insect, car, train and airplane recognition Sony

Video6.2K 3:2 30p 10-bit 4:2:2 internal recording · 4K 60p · Full HD 240p · 12-bit RAW over HDMI (6.2K / 5.2K)

10-bit 4:2:2 keeps more tone and colour information for grading. HDMI RAW needs a compatible external recorder.

Fujifilm		8K (7680 × 4320) 30p/25p/24p XAVC HS; 4K up to 120p; Full HD 120p and 240 fps slow motion; 10-bit 4:2:2

XAVC HS uses H.265/HEVC and XAVC S H.264; 10-bit 4:2:2 leaves more room for colour grading.

Pre-capture also records frames from just before the shutter is fully pressed, helping catch unpredictable moments such as birds or sport.

Sony
In-body stabilisation—5-axis; 8.5 stops at centre, 7.0 at periphery (CIPA 2024, with FE 50 mm F1.2 GM)

The stop figure applies to the stated lens and test condition; the effect differs with other lenses.
