## Notable

- **Built-in ND filter** — Lets you keep cinematic shutter speeds in bright sun with nothing to screw on.

Strengths: Large sensor for a compact; Built-in ND; Canon Log 3; Active cooling.
Weaknesses: Lens is not especially bright; No in-body stabilization; 4K/60 is cropped.

> Verification note: Newer compact — confirm the 4K/60 crop and built-in ND strength against the manual.
