Canon PowerShot ELPH 360 HS Review: Impressive Optical Zoom Shackled To JPEG: Strengths & Caveats
✔ Advantages
- 12x optical zoom lens spanning a versatile 25-300mm equivalent focal range
- Hardware Optical Image Stabilization paired with a 20.2 MP CMOS sensor
- Ultra-compact pocket-sized form factor with integrated Wi-Fi connectivity
✖ Documented Caveats
- Firmware lacks RAW image capture support, restricting output exclusively to JPEG
- Video recording capped at 1080p Full HD without 4K capture options
- Legacy Mini-B USB interface for wired data transfer
Sony a6700 Review: Brilliant Autofocus Marred By Heavy Crops: Strengths & Caveats
✔ Advantages
- 26.0 MP back-illuminated Exmor R CMOS sensor coupled with BIONZ XR and dedicated AI Processing Unit
- Advanced Real-time Recognition autofocus tracking across humans, animals, birds, insects, and vehicles
- Integrated 5-axis in-body image stabilization rated for up to 5.0 stops of compensation
- High frame rate 10-bit 4:2:2 video capture up to 4K 120p and FHD 240p with S-Cinetone and S-Log3
✖ Documented Caveats
- Significant 1.58x field-of-view crop during 4K 120p video recording
- Single SD card slot provides no secondary redundant backup for critical shoots
- Omits a physical rear autofocus joystick, relying on touch navigation or control dials
