In answer to your questions about 4k. Everyone will be using it soon enough. All quality porn will be shot in 4k. There is no question. UHD will be the standard browser size in a couple years. all flat screens with shift to 4k resolution (actually UHD) All the TV makers will stop making 1080p sets. I have talked to Sony, Panasonic, etc. It is inevitable and happening sooner than the average guy on here thinks (as usual)  |
I agree with Jay.
I have shot on the RED Scarlet, Sony Fs700, Sony F5 and Sony PXW-Z100.
All of the good cameras are interchangeable lenses and are manual focus except for the PXW-Z100(Which I think the quality isn't as good as all of the other high end cameras on the market) and require a good knowledge of basic photography.
4K files are massive! You can do so many things with good 4K files in post that you cannot do with a lot of the 1080 files. 4K is the best way to future proof your content.
The down side is when it comes down to editing. Doing color passes, edits, tweaks, rendering, etc is a serious time killer. You need serious CPU power to work with these files.
One other issue I see right now is that the 4K camera quality is going to jump massively within the next year. Buying one today, isn't a great thing right now unless you have a steady deal to shoot 4K. Cameras are dropping in price, and newer better cameras are coming out.
I can get my hands on just about anything within 3 hours if there was a good shoot with a fair budget.
