This is not a video camera. Why an LCD screen 'optimised for video'?

It can be a very good video camera in the right hands. So why not if it does not compromise stills shooting?

61Mp, if true, are vastly excessive for video. Landscape, architecture, product photography - yes, but with this many megapixels, the native resolution isn't a good fit for video. If it does 8K, it'll be in the crop mode. Sony A7RV does 8K and 4K in the crop mode.

Anyway I think these little discrepancies suggest the rumour is fake. I'll be very happy if it's not.
