This may sound a bit odd but would like to know if anyone has compared the 4K video quality between FZ1000 and Z50. Considering sensor sizes Z50 will surely be better but for people like me who own FZ1000 and D7500, and willing to do a lot of videography now, does it make sense to get a mirrorless over FZ1000? I love my FZ1000 but unsure about its video quality compared to Z50.

I have heard not so good stories about D7500's video quality considering the focusing issues. Hence it is ruled out and will remain in my bag for stills. FZ1000, as big and heavy as a DSLR needs to be considered for future. Please share your opinions.

The Z50 will for sure have much better AF than the FZ1000. That's a big deal. And it will have better low-light performance, as you might expect.

The Z50 4K uses the full sensor and is highly detailed. It is a good video camera.

Here is an example, using two lenses:
