4K/60FPS Video Recording
Now, let’s talk about video quality.
Currently, the Sony A7 III can shoot up to 4K at 29.97FPS, to be precise.
This is decent, by all means, but it isn’t something that woos the prosumers anymore.

We think 4K at 60FPS is the sweet spot for video recording on the upcoming A7 IV.
Twice the frame rate would make the A7 IV a justifiable upgrade for existing A7 III owners.
