Features Include:
-
Imaging Performance:
- 25.74MP APS-C BSI CMOS Sensor: Delivers higher sensitivity and reduced noise.
- Redesigned Lens (18.3mm f/2.8): A new 7-element, 5-group optical formula provides enhanced edge-to-edge sharpness and better corner performance.
- GR ENGINE 7: Provides faster image processing, better noise reduction, and improved color reproduction.
- 5-Axis, 6-Stop IBIS: Enhanced Shake Reduction system offers 5-axis, 6-stop correction, improving low-light handheld shooting.
-
High Sensitivity (ISO 204,800): Expanded ISO range for better low-light performance.
-
Design & Functionality:
- Slim & Compact Build: The camera is roughly 2mm thinner and, despite hardware upgrades, remains highly pocketable.
- Faster Start-up (0.6 sec): The updated lens barrel and start-up sequence allow for one of the fastest start-up times in the series.
- High-Speed Electronic Shutter (1/16,000 sec): Introduced with the HDF model, this allows for shooting at wide apertures in bright light and is available on the standard model via firmware.
- Improved Storage: 53GB of built-in internal memory (in addition to a MicroSD slot).
- Enhanced Battery Life (DB-120): Offers approximately 250 shots per charge (roughly 25-40% more than the previous model).
- Improved Dust Protection: Added sealing around the lens and an anti-static coating to the sensor filter.
