It looks really nice, but total overkill for me. In fact, I'm trying to justify an A7S3 over my S2. Right now, I don't shoot in 4k but might if I could in 60-120fps. I just can't stand how 30fps looked in 4k on my camera. So I could get another camera or almost 2 lenses. IMO, you can never have enough lenses.

It is probably overkill for me too but I love having all of the buttons/manual controls versus in-menu settings. The built-in ND filter is also a big selling point, among a few other things.

As for lenses, my issue is the opposite. I have a collection of Nikon AIS primes but I can't find the ideal camera to use them on. I was looking at something like the Zcam M4 with an adapter, but the metabones speed booster says my 20mm lens is incompatible. I also own an adapter that has some play in it which could be a problem when trying to accurately pull focus. I've even looked into possibly getting them converted by someone like Duclos Lenses.

As for 4k, I want it for the flexibility in post (vfx, chroma keying, stabilization). Otherwise most of my final output would be 1080. The downside is you need a ton of storage for hq 4k or 6k. The costs keep adding up.
