…why
4K120 is the most useful “extreme” video mode, and it’s a shame more companies haven’t supported it, just ZTE, OnePlus, and Sony. It’s crazy flexible. Can be easily dropped to 60 or 30 fps, and makes for absolutely stunning slow motion. It’s such an easy edit in something like LumaFusion to time stretch it. Even silly little family videos look so much cooler at that resolution in one quarter time. When done right, at a good bitrate, it looks much better than most phones’ potato quality 1080p slow motion. Sony absolutely chose right offering 4k120 over 8k24.
There is no point to a small handheld device being in 4k.
2k /maybe/.
You would have to have literally super human vision to tell the difference between a 2k and 4k display the size of a phone unless you held it something like 2 or 3 inches from your face.
At which distance most people cannot focus their eyes anyway.
It’s for video recording, not the screen resolution. I’d say for archival reasons it’s perfectly okay to record in 4k even if your phone display is not in 4k. Sometimes I like to view my recorded videos on my 4k TV to be watched with friends and family.
I have my daughter’s first steps in 4K. That was roughly seven years ago. Shot from an old LG. That little clip is amazing, and it looks so much better than what 1080p at the time would have looked like.
Ah, that makes much more sense.
I use so much storage space on my family 1080p videos that I can’t imagine shooting much of it in 4k. How do you cope with that storage need?
