You need a higher resolution sensor that can be downsampled to 4K to get the best 4K image. The only cameras doing that right now are the F65, RED or Super35mm+ film cameras. Which is all fine and dandy if you're a Hollywood filmmaker. But the rest of us are finally getting cameras that can resolve a great 2K image. We're getting those in the form of 4K cameras that aren't great for 4K output but great for 2K output when downsampled.

No, you, and apparently others, don’t understand, that has little to do with what I posted. Even with as you say the “F65, *RED* (which one?) or Super35mm+ film camera” or, for that matter, a few you didn’t list - the F55, Red Weapon or Alexa 65,

the point of the past post was that the Engineering (not the marketing V.P., James Finn) of Fox has gone around to more than one professional conference this past year with his *two thumbs rule*

which, although he doesn’t explain its origin to the other professionals in attendance, he uses as a tool to simulate covering your macula (the highest visual acuity portion of the human retina, [eagles I think have two, so I wonder how many thumbs he would use for them ]) of your field of view, see….http://link.brightcove.com/services/...=4259612835001 and ergo, the impracticality of appreciating the resolution at home of even movies captured with cameras boasting “true 4K with full color”.
