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.

We're living in an age where display tech is outpacing camera tech. So there are some filmmakers that want to put the brakes on display tech until camera tech catches up. Better a great 2K image than a lousy 4K image.

Basically the same idea that's said to get the best 1080p image.

It's why movies like intersteller, or any other shot with high resolution cameras, should look pretty stunning on 4KBD.

So when do 8K scans start being the norm?
