Hi all,

it is quite interesting to see what value different brands bring to the table with their camera sensors, when looking at the one topic where ILCs (could) have a big advantage over smartphones: capturing action / fast moving subjects.

Canon sensors for capturing action.

* Please note that the readout time for the R6 II obviously today only is an assumption based on the 40 FPS. Sony for the a7r5 also seems unwilling to officially share even the FPS rates when shooting lossless raw, so the figures are based on preliminary dpr review.

Pretty massive performance differences if you ask me.

What is the point of a silent shutter, if it usefulness indoors with artificial light and outdoors for capturing action is seriously hampered by super slow readout speeds?

I can even ask: What is the point of the last tiny bit of AF improvements if your missing the shot due to low FPS ?

And I guess nobody is spending this amount of money in the $2000+ class just for JPGs or lossy un-raws.

But if an unfair comparison since the Canon files are 12bit in the high speed modes you listed and the Sony are 14bit. The Sony are faster when also in 12 bit mode
