Release year20232023
Sensor35 mm full-frame (35.6 × 23.8 mm) Exmor R CMOS; about 12.1MP for stills, 10.1MP for video

A low-resolution full-frame sensor gathers more light per pixel, at the cost of limited room for cropping stills.

Sony		APS-C (23.3 × 15.5 mm) Exmor R CMOS; approx. 26.0 MP effective (27.0 MP total)

Exmor R is a back-illuminated sensor: the circuitry sits behind the light-gathering surface, so more light reaches the pixels. Video uses up to about 19.9 MP of the sensor.

Shutter and burstElectronic shutter only; 1/8000 to 30 s; about 10 fps in Hi+

There is no mechanical shutter; the line-by-line readout of the electronic shutter can skew fast-moving subjects.

Sony		Mechanical 1/4000–30 s, electronic 1/8000–30 s; flash sync 1/160 s; Hi+ 11 fps; buffer 59 RAW, 143 JPEG Extra Fine frames

The buffer figure is the approximate number of frames the camera can shoot in a row before waiting to write to the card.
