Key Advantages
High-resolution 61MP full-frame stacked CMOS sensor delivering exceptional image quality. Advanced BIONZ XR processor enabling seamless high-speed processing and low noise. Professional 8K video capture with heat management for extended recording. Superior autofocus with a wide coverage and Real-time Tracking technology. Durable magnesium alloy body with comprehensive dust and moisture resistance. Dual CFexpress card slots to accommodate high-speed data recording.
Limitations
High-resolution files demand significant storage and processing power, potentially slowing post-production workflows. The camera's advanced features result in a heavier and bulkier body compared to entry-level mirrorless models. The price point is premium, limiting accessibility for casual photographers. Battery life, though improved, may require spares during extended shoots, especially when recording 8K video. In-body processing and heat management require careful monitoring during prolonged video sessions to avoid thermal throttling. Limited in-camera accessory compatibility compared to some competitors.
