Any QHD video camera out there?

Hello all,

I have been searching for a while, but could not find any DSLR that can shoot at QHD (2560x1440) with 60+ FPS. Shooting in FullHD is often useless, so I have been shooting in 4K as a workaround for a while now, but the workflow is less than optimal (camera overheats quickly, files very large, editing slower than necessary). My budget is 2000-3000 USD.

Briefly about my use case (Feel free to skip this paragraph). I shoot videos for research projects (always rendered in FullHD in the end) and I normally need the camera to run for a while during experiments or longer takes. I normally do not zoom in fully to leave a bit of context just in case and crop/pan afterwards (in some situations, I cannot check the camera and framing at all times). 4K is complete overkill, so QHD would be just perfect for this purpose. Our Fuji X-T4 overheats extremely quickly in 4K, meaning we need to pause everything after a few minutes of shooting (solution I found online: shoot shorter takes. Again, not feasible for my use case). I can also not imagine that all people either want FullHD or 4K and nothing in between (the jump from 720 to 1080 was much smaller).

Is there a way in which I can search for specific specs or is there simply to "market" for this resolution regardless of how practical it might be? I am also not very proficient with the terminology. Shall I search for a different type of camera with comparable quality (i.e., dedicated video camera and not DSLR)?

Thank you
