Net reviewer sentiment per criterion (share positive minus share negative). A blank means no reviewer evidence on that axis for that camera — a gap, not a zero.
Not ranked — outside the criteria
- Sony A7S III — require resolution_mp >= 20: got 12
Pending — a spec we're still sourcing
These earned a review card but are held out until we confirm a spec the criteria gate on. That is a data gap on our side, not a mark against the camera.
- Canon R5 — resolution_mp: resolution_mp not present on card
- Fujifilm x e5 — resolution_mp: resolution_mp not present on card
- Hasselblad 500 cm — resolution_mp: resolution_mp not present on card
- Nikon z5 ii — resolution_mp: resolution_mp not present on card
- Panasonic lumix l10 — resolution_mp: resolution_mp not present on card
- Sony A7R II — resolution_mp: resolution_mp not present on card
Every position above traces to the reviewer claims on each camera's card. We don't write opinions — we synthesize theirs, and we present fit rather than a verdict.
