How it works
1. The official specification table
Every scored figure comes from an official Sony, Canon, Nikon, Fujifilm, Panasonic, OM System, Leica, Ricoh or Sigma specification table, linked on the product card. If a figure is not published we show "Not listed" and score it at the category minimum, so an unpublished number never outranks a published one. When we convert official 万画素 pixel counts to megapixels, or official grams to pounds, we label the result computed.
2. Different sensor classes, the same official fields
Full-frame, APS-C and Micro Four Thirds, and compact or fixed-lens cameras are each ranked in their own table so official sensor size does not dominate the score. All three use official effective megapixels, official maximum continuous shooting, official native stills ISO maximum and official in-body or in-camera stabilization (yes or no). Official CIPA stop ratings, when published, are shown as extra details and are not scored. Kits, colorways and special finishes with identical official scored fields share one page.
3. Match it to the battery, the bag and the flight
A high official megapixel count or burst rate is not automatically the right camera for travel or a small bag. Use the official battery and charger, follow airline lithium-battery rules, and never point a camera or lens at the sun through an optical viewfinder. Confirm the current official specification with the maker and the retailer before you buy. Then check the price on Amazon. Commissions never change the order.
