Ignore the other poster who recommended buying an a9. If all you want to do is video (and you want a sony) then the a7s2 is the best machine for the job, a9 is more trying to be a fast sports shooter. I have the A7R2 and even its video is pretty darn good, no S-Log3 and not the same amazing (it really is this good) low light performance as the A7S2 though.
The only gripes which I have with the Sony systems are the unintuitive menu systems and unergonomic body styles, compared to Canon DSLR's though of 5D / 1D ilk (and most recently, the Leica SL which is just a dream to handle).
Other than that, technically, on paper, they are amazing cameras.
p.s: IBIS is amazing, you can take pretty much any old lens and all of a sudden it's stabilised.
