The crops on entry level FF Z cameras are only for slow motion video. Standard is 24/30fps, 60fps being compromised on to keep your camera from costing an extra $1000 is pretty sane since it's not going to be used as much, and if it is, it will be for shorter slow motion sequences not the whole video so no one will notice the minor quality decrease. If you want uncropped 4k60 on a large sensor you're going to spend more. A lot more. Or worse, switch to canon, and spend even more in the long run on top of getting worse colors, forced NR, forced 12 bit E shutter shooting, slower readouts than the Z8/Z9, and an unreliable shitheap that's always in for repairs + a backup body because of that. Nikon breaks once upon release and works forever, canon never works ever, such is life.
If the FOV change is ruining your youtube videos you shoot with your kit zoom then cheap out even more and buy micro four thirds. There's less sensor to read out so it's cheap and easy to do everything with the same crop, only the subjective quality appears about the same as 1.5x cropped 4k on FF all the time. Or, buy a lens that zooms out more. tamron 17-50 f4 :o
Generally, buying full frame for video first shooting with 0 compromises is going to run you a lot of money. That's pretty much fine. If your video needs full frames quality advantage its going on screens so large that you better be paid enough to afford it. Buying FF for stills as a hobbyist makes sense because of dimly lit snapshits and the fact anyone can make arbitrarily large prints which is why we have cheaper FF cameras with lesser video specs.
>>4259787>Freeze!>Zoom in>ZOOM IN>See that artifact?Show me the video where this even matters like who is watching this on a screen large enough and rewinding to check for artifacts and yet you can only afford hobbyist formats and stills focused budget versions of flagships
I've seen lots of longgop video with flashing lights and never noticed.
