Need help buying a new video camera

I am looking to purchase a 4K HD Video camera mainly due to the fact that my Sony a99M2 does not allow me to shot 4K HD videos using auto focus. I have to use manual focus all the time. I see that Sony is coming out with a new 21 Megapixel point and shot the Sony RX10 IV with a 24-600 Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T zoom lens. This could also work for my second camera. Need your opinion if you think this camera would work as just for video only or do you think I could do better with just another video camera. If so please let me know what 4K HD video camera would you purchase?
