As I said earlier when I quoted 6K rez for simple blood FX, they all came back ... " OK, 2 K is fine"... You are way ahead of the time.
Good luck.

Downsampling 4k to 1080 is not only far superior and sharper than starting in HD but it allows my clients movies to be relevant for years to come so they are ready to go 4k when the time is right. 4k is already happening on Netflix and soon we will be streaming 4k porn the same way through devices like the ROKU. If you are shooting $500 scenes then it probably doesn't matter to you. 4k is very relevant and it doesn't make sense to spend top dollar to create content that won't make the cut 5 years from now. You can bet there will be a huge demand for 4k when the floodgates open.
I had the HVX200 in 2003 and back then it was a great camera but you can get a new consumer camera for under $300 that will blow it away. Compared to my work now my old HVX 200 footage looks really soft almost out of focus to compared to the detail I can shoot with my current setup. If you want to argue about it shows too much detail in the skin then
1)you aren't lighting it right
2)you are shooting sub-par models with bad skin
3)you are just old skool
Here are a few titles I shot in 4k last summer and you get the 4k download with the
DVD or BlueRay.
