Originally posted by automorphism I do shoot video on my camera. I think it's a really nice feature to have when you need it. And I don't think a camera has to be on the level of the GH5 to be a good video camera. It should have some basics: focus peaking while shooting, good compression data rates for clear, crisp video, and good stabilization for quick run and gun shooting. If it has that, you can actually do a whole lot with a camera.
I don't really know how popular it is, but what I have seen these days especially with COVID is tons of people are starting up VLOGs and making videos, so I suspect it will just increase over time.
I do think this is one area where MILCs are vastly superior, if only because you can shoot through the viewfinder. Shooting only with the back screen is quite difficult for some applications. So in this case, if you shoot video and want to make your life easier no matter what camera you have, I would suggest getting a mirrorless.
I shoot video clips, which isn't exactly the same thing as being serious about video. For that, a K-1 is OK, particularly since I don't own a 4K screen or any software to edit 4K video.
I think Pentax should put effort into making all of their features as good as possible. I just don't think the majority of Pentaxians are serious videographers. For VLOGs, the quality I have seen has been questionable -- probably due to online bit rates and stuff like that.
