This model is the first mirrorless camera that came with the possibility of 4K video capture, and it is still a great camera today. The interchangeable lens and the professional video tools found in this camera are just an extra to all of the other amazing features.

8. YI 4K+ Action Camera

It may not be as a well-known brand as some of the cameras found on our list, but the sole feature of 4K video footage at 60p makes it well worth to be on our list. There are several options of 4K shooting, like 4K HD mode, which gives you an opportunity to shoot at 30p. Ultra 4K mode is also using 30p, but if you want that fantastic 60p, chose the standard 4K mode. The images are coming out great, too, and it has a responsive interface that you will love.
