Something that industry hasn't seemed to have noticed is that Nikon has recently released a couple of camera bodies that are very capable hybrid shooters. The Nikon Z9 and Z8 cameras can record up to 8.3K 60fps RAW video in-body[1], and the shutter speed is fast enough to be very nearly "global shutter". They also inherit features common to stills cameras but rare in video cameras such as eye-detect auto focus. Some samples I've found online: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bR5BV1L7tCg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bR5BV1L7tCg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFkgs0GsbpA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFkgs0GsbpA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3cAwDwvK-M https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3cAwDwvK-M Notably, these videos were made by essentially amateurs. Even if the shooters are industry pros, they're still taking these shots on their own without a film crew and a professional setup. Just running around with a "normal" camera you can carry in one hand. I wonder if this is going to be a dead end now that Nikon has acquired RED. I have a sinking feeling that the product lines will be split again, and that the stills bodies will not get any new video features, which will be relegated to dedicated video cameras. [1] Something I've heard is that perceived video quality is more strongly correlated to the data rate than pixel resolution. These cameras can record at about 6,000 Mbps which is in the same league a "large format" and IMAX style cine cameras.
