Err,. no.
And especially NO! with the A7s.
It uses the WHOLE sensor for video, if you want to crop to APS-c, there's an option to do that in the menus, either On, Off, Or Auto, the latter where the camera switches to APS-c crop when it detects vignetting.
The paragraph that followed, you know you just described what Sony did to make the A7s from the A7? The 's' is only 12Mp.

That first list,... is pretty much a K-01 with the firmware issues corrected.

Mount on the hotshoe, with a feed from the HDMI port, then they could sell the same unit to huge audience, K-01 owners, Q owners, or anybody with a camera with a HDMI output.
It'd just need to be priced decently, unlike the bespoke viewfinders from companies like Zacuto.

Originally posted by kadajawi I don't think the MF camera should do video at all...........4K in general isn't that important yet anyway. 1080p is fine.
MF as a 4K would be like shooting 70mm film, and that would make it VERY popular.
I actually know several guys with MF film camera who would love to be able to shoot 1080 or 4K, just to separate their works 'look' from the crowd on Reds and the like.
4K is gathering speed, 6K is available from Kinefinity and Red, and 8K from Red and Sony, but the prices are heart attack inducing.
Long term, I think 4K will be a productions standard, and 6/8K will be cameras from rental houses for Cinema production.
