Update: The original Sony A7 is now getting quite hard to find new, but its place has now been taken by the Sony A7 II, which is steadily falling in price and is a better camera with in-body stabilization.

However, just because they go to unusual lengths to accommodate the videographer, this doesn't mean any compromises have been made to the feature sets they offer the stills shooter.
