Overheating: Early firmware versions had overheating issues during extended 8K/4K shooting, though updates have improved this.Pricey: Premium specs come with a premium price tag (body-only is often ~$3,500 USD).CFexpress Cards: To take full advantage of 8K or 4K 120p, you’ll need fast—and expensive—CFexpress cards.
