The data transfer speed is extremely important and one that remains so if you're involved with supplying material for TV companies. The fact that your shooting 4K is irrelevant for 99% of the time, but the transfer speed is critical. I agree with Keen, much better to have a fast transfer speed at 1080 than a slower speed at 4K, at least as far as I'm concerned. I get a little tired when reading so much drivle on forums about resolution and 4K this and 4K that. Sure, it has it's place, and it's convenient to have the option to recompose shots and zoom in and soforth in post, but at the end of the day, as cinematographers it's important to get a good quality overall image, not just one aspect of that image. It's no good having fantastic, pin sharp resolution with a stunning dynamic range if, when under some situations, like flying above trees or over grasslands, the data transfer speed cannot process the data fast enough and half the image becomes a mulch! |
