I don't think I had considered how good a video camera the Sony's are. I have a Sony a7IV and paired with a F2.8 24-70mm GM2 went camping and hiking in the Peak District and over Kinder Scout and the videos are soooo much more vivid and clear, more capable of fully capturing what it felt like being there, the wind, the movement, the sound (I have an external mic array)... and it's just incredible how much more they take you there, to the moment.
I first tried the video setting a few weeks back in St Ives on a hot day, and video was so much better at picking up the light being refracted by heat.
Can't really share them though, the videos... as I took them for me, they're not something I want to put on YouTube, and they vary from 300MB for a few seconds all the way up to several GB for a 30-60s capture.
Likely to invest in some ridiculously large and fast storage cards now, could well see me sitting in a forest and just shooting 10 minutes of a scene to fully capture the background noise and movement of it all.
