Answer to first question you need about a 9 megapixel sensor to even be able to resolve 4K then you need the video output processor\encoder to actually convert that frame data into multiple frames ...

I don't know as I don't closely follow the Z cameras but noticed their press release. https://www.dpreview.com/news/2961478322/nikon-announces-development-of-new-firmware-for-z6-and-z7

The Nikons have new firmware that improves low light AF and eye AF.

You don't need zoom recorder since the VP83F has one already built-in.

This is pretty simple so you should be able to achieve a similar result.

I have the Shure VP83F...very good sound and the built-in audio recorder is very convenient because it basically replaces a bulky external recorder. It records 24-bit audio. You could use the mic ...

I thought the same but then found out 4K video is crippled on the RP... :-) BTW you can't tell the difference between FF video vs APS-C anyway especially when the XT-3 allows 400Mbps internal ...

Why are the orientations different?

Do you have any music videos you've shot that you could share?

Yeah and you own a D7500 while looking into a J5 vs me owning a J5 looking into a D7500. ;-) Anyway I decided on the X-E3 because I wanted a mirrorless APS-C which there are only 3 choices...Sony ...

I don't like the "SLR" form factor so it's not just size. I prefer the X-E3's J5-like form factor. Also the D3500's price isn't even a factor as I need 4K video. I don't understand why they have ...

This is one of the main reasons why I'm going to get the Fuji. I would've loved a Nikon DX mirrorless but that isn't happening.

That video could be duplicated with a 1080p phone and DJI Osmo mobile 2... ;-) Even though it's 4K it looks no better than good 1080p.

What kind of videos do you want to shoot? Low light AFC is hit or miss.

Very good point. My first digital camera was a cheap Fuji P&S https://www.dpreview.com/products/fujifilm/compacts/fuji_finepix1300 then Fuji bridge zooms S700 and S2000HD. Then got my first MILC ...

Just read dpr's Nikon interview...very disappointed they're not thinking about a DX mirrorless anytime soon. Recently I was looking at a D7500 with the current pricing discounts but just couldn't ...

If you watch the video closely it doesn't seem to be using sensor crop as there are slight moire patterns. This likely indicates its using the full sensor resolution then downsampling to 4K.
