    Quality of compressed image, need to upgrade to 4K to produce wildlife footage, can’t spend more money, can use same lens I got, I am not going to do commercials or films or video clips. I understanf it is intrafrane motion jpeg but there is still not much info about compression and rate.. Thanks

    It’s quite good. There is a lens crop factor of 1.75x. The images are sharp and crisp. It’s just more difficult to get a wide angle with the crop factor. The video is also 17×9 full 4K DCI.

    [Carlo Ferraro] “need to upgrade to 4K to produce wildlife footage,”

    Are you being specifically asked to produce 4K wildlife footage by a paying client? Are you losing paid work because you cannot shoot 4K wildlife footage?

    Gary……spot on, now everyone ask for 4k, HD is no good anymore, as it happened with DVCAM, Betacan, etc, etc back. Switch or die. Basically now I produce wildlife footage for distribution, trying to fill a niche from Australia. Have to switch or retire, not ready for that even at 72…….
