An interesting article on 6K vs 2.8k and HD capture

An interesting test here, with lots of scaling up and down of Red Dragon and Alexa footage.

 

The debate is whether you need 6K or 4K at all

The first three parts are good and, if you don't mind looking at charts, are quite informative.

 

My two cents: even with sharpness dialled down to -10 on C100 and C300 I still add a slight blur to the whole image in post. I'm just not a fan of excessive sharpness. It's quite sad that sharpness is so high on most cameras even at minimum settings.

 

4K captures really works on some jobs, on others it's not really necessary, horses for courses.

 

I'm much more a fan of dynamic range than resolution, but then I don't often shoot landscape and so on.

 

Of all the new footage types I've playing with, BMPCC raw is wonderfully freeing in terms of grading, I'd like to get one, but need to await the C/Y or EF speedbooster for BMPCC
