David Shapton, Editor in Chief at Red Shark News, after a short debate on their facebook page, asked me to write an article on redharknews.com about the growing resolutions on video production gear nowadays. David himself embraces these developments on his articles while i am a bit skeptical every time i see a company presenting a prototype of a future piece of gear.

The article ended up too big to fit on the site’s template so David instead of cutting it, he splitted it on 2 parts and published them separately. The first part was published on 13 Dec. 2017 and the second on 20 De. 2017. The title was: “If your eyes had pixels, how many would they have?”.

But to incorporote one of those sensors to a new camera body, record on an efficient codec, edit the footage on a computer that can handle the new codec and finally deliver the product to your client, all these steps can take a significant amount of time to become a reality. And here comes the final question “Does your client really see a difference?”.
