DSLRs for 4K video? .......not really!
Canon make video cameras for a living, so they cripple their DSLRs either by not putting in 4K, or putting in an uncompressed huge file format..........anyway too expensive.
Nikon's AF, not really! Pentax.....well err no.
The only DSLRs that can do 4K are expensive anyway!
....................................................................................................
ML is the way to go for video I would say.
Sony have good 4K in the A6300, but it is prone to overheating, but if you able able to shoot for less than 15 mins or so you should be OK, they are very reasonably priced!
The Panasonic GH4 is primarily a video camera and is probably the cheapest as it's been out for some time, it can be found for less than $1,000 new.....(the new GH5 is expensive)................both of these focus fine and would be a good choice.
To save money I would probably go for a used GH4, however, I don't know much about video other than what I hear from those that do!
