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.

It is not a big crop having 8K from 61Mp. Extra Mp are also needed for 8K and 4K mode EIS.

Really? 8K video is 32MP, so out goes 50% of the pixels.
