What a well measured, thoughtful assessment of the two. I've seen so many dismissing 1080p totally that those of us that have to use 1080p are left feeling lesser humans! I would think most people haven't got pretentions of being Stephen Spielberg and just want a good quality video and 1080p does that.

No doubt that for vlogging and keeping a "visual journal" of your travels, 1080p is just fine. The best reason to shoot in 4K is if you're making a short film/ telling a story. The extra resolution allows the filmmaker to zoom in to the shot or pan across it without an obvious loss in quality. It allows one to have access to a more robust set of tools that can help move the story along.

Great feedback and perspective on why 4K can be an advantage on zooming and cropping! I should have added that to the 4K pros!

I have been watching videos for months about the new Pocket 3. All I’ve seen was professional videographers comparing their 2, 3, and 5 thousand dollar cameras against a 530 dollar, pocket size camera and I thought….what the heck did you expect? This little thing, for the price, is freaking amazing. Now, you are the only person, that I’ve found, who’s mentioned what Ive been thinking the entire time, and that is, most people watching KZread content are either on a smartphone or tablet. Is 4K really necessary to watch a short vlog on my phone? I can understand shooting a wedding but KZread content. 1080, of course has its limitations but for the internet it looks pretty darn good, not to mention the other good points you brought up. Have a great trip, look forward to seeing your footage.

Really good point! 2.7K may not be a bad compromise for a lot of people worried about hard drive space. Thanks for the comment!

I still have a different reason to shoot in 4k. I export all my footage in 1080p but by using 4k I can zoom in, pan left, right, etc - all without losing resolution. The difference between 4k and 1080p is insignificant for me personally. If I didn’t need a flexible file, I would shoot in 1080p, because the 4k video adds such little value for me personally. 4k is especially useful for the OP3 because you have a fixed focal length - so setting it to 4k is like getting a 4x optical zoom lens. The right question for me is, is a 4x zoom lens worth the memory. If it is, 4k is the way to go.

I couldn't tell the difference., and you're absolutely right about most people using 720P. Heck, from my analytics, most people are viewing my content on mobile, which is crazy to me. I don't think I would be a KZreadr today if it weren't for me starting to watch KZread on my main TV with my Roku. The reason I shoot in 4K is mostly because I'm thinking about a future technology that could potentially scale 4K to VR and then you could experience your memories that way. It could probably be done with 1080 but it would most likely look better if the original was 4K. At the same time, I would never fill up those hard drives because I'm usually very purposeful with my shots. I like the idea someone else left with upscaling on the final render to 4k. Also, I mentioned before the ZV-E10 is crap in 1080 but I think if you used 4k on the ZV-E10 if you decided to bring it you could upscale the Pocket 3 to 4k and just be done with it. That's probably what I would do, but I would test it first to make sure the result is as expected. I have a 5-year old computer that I put a budget graphics card in (Nvidia 1060ti) and after upgrading to Davinci resolve Studio, I no longer need to create proxies, even with my 4K footage. If I had a lot of effects it might. I edited my last two videos with zero proxies and rendered the last one at 4K in about 8 minutes total for a 10-minute video, so in less time than it took to play the video.

Really good points Tim. Yeah 4K would definitely look better on those 4K VR googles for sure. Normally I will always record in 4K, it's just this trip is making me concerned about Hard drive space (hahaha). In this situation, I want to record without worrying about my SSD drives having enough space. Technically, I really should only record up to 2TB even though I have 2 SSD with 2 Terabyte because both of them should be your two backups. So 2 TB in 4K over 2 plus weeks is a bit concerning (hahaha). Yeah, the ZV-E10 has no business not making the 1080P better, shame on Sony 😂. Honestly, at some point, I'll probably sell the body of the ZV-E10 and upgrade, but I still like the talking heads with it in 4K. That's awesome to hear you are able to make your videos and render much faster now!

I think the it depends on the audience. If the audience is a bunch of critical pro photographers, then perhaps 4K is best! But for most audiences I don’t think it matters at all! 4K is definitely useful if you are going to crop in the shots a lot , however sharpness and detail, is that really that important in the real world. Most videos are viewed on a 1080p monitor or a mobile or tablet or on a TV. Even if the TV is 4K, the detail of a 4K image will only be appreciated by the human eye if the viewer sits relatively close to the screen . A 65" screen is only about 32" high and the viewer would have to sit about 4 feet away or less to appreciate the detail! Nowadays most video photographer seem to insist that only a 4K recording will suffice and anything else is inferior and not acceptable. I think this attitude is particularly reflected in many youtube videos about drones and cameras. For most people the difference between 1080p and 4K can only be seen if the two images are placed side by side! In the real world , for most ordinary viewers it really does not matter at all!

I like this video alot. I've been proclaiming this myself for a while. In general, it's sufficient to shoot in 1080P. For narratives and the like (stories, commercials, etc.), its good to use 4K for movements across the frame in post production. That's my rule of thumb. I edit video for a living and this is what I've found over the past decade since 4K has been more readily available.

I was watching your comparison video on a 43" 4K monitor. Even with a monitor that size, it's harder to see the difference when 1080P and 4K are displayed side by side. If you're watching on a laptop or cell phone, it's even harder to tell the difference. But from my personal experience, 4K is still sharper than 1080P when watching the same video in full screen. The same scene in 1080P looks like it's veiled and unclear. If you take a portion of both the 1080P and 4K scenes and zoom in to 100%, that's when a side-by-side comparison shows the difference. I still choose to shoot 4K because I like to shoot landscape videos which require more detail. If you shoot more humanities, shooting 1080P would be a good choice. Still, thanks a lot for the comparison video. By the way, it feels very kind to see Tim Hortons.😊

@bzdishekzapadlovsky Why do you need 4k? Human visual acuity is 60 pixels per degree. Divide 3840 ( 4К ) horizontal line resolution by 60 pixels per degree and get 64. And what kind of number did we get? And this is the field of view of our screen with an image quality corresponding to our vision. Well, what is this “field of view (FOV)” more precisely? This is the angle from the pupil to the edges of the screen. That is, we see the world with a field of vision of about 180 degrees, and 4k provides a screen of only 64 degrees or 1/3 of our field of vision. Can you guess what I mean? Resolution increases in direct proportion to the increase in perceived screen size. And this is necessary to enhance the effect of presence. People never keep their distance to watch 4K because they consider it small..That's why they don't get 4K. For your 4K monitor with a 43" diagonal, the viewing distance should be 0.8-1.5 meters! Do you keep this distance? Hardly. Which means you see 1080P that your eye can see. What did the author of this video do? He showed two 1080p frames in one 4k. I have never met anything dumber in my life.

I decided to record everything in 4k 60p whenever I can. But there are situations where I only use 1080p. It depends on several factors. And where the videos are viewed, the type of cameras, etc. But one thing I always try to record is in 60P. I love watching videos recorded in 60p or 50p because they are more fluid and real. Although many say they prefer 30p, 25p or 24p like cinema and use 60p or 50p only for slow motion. I disagree! I have my personal taste. My goal has always been to try to capture the environment around me as real and natural as possible without filters or artifacts. The same goes for the sound. Many people talk about using mono lavalier microphones. I try to use stereo microphones whenever possible. And capture the sound around. Not to mention stereoscopic 3D cameras. I see that your channel is still small and starting to grow. Soon there will be many subscribers. Good luck!

@@TravelingAhn If I'm not wrong downscaling 4K to 1080 timeline wont affect the quality. I'm editing a mixed format rushes from 1080, 4K & 6K...of course I have to do some proxies...😅 My final output will be 2K anamorphic (2560x1080). Looks ok for socmed if you color correct it right...😁

Hmmm, will have to come to some final answer on this :P

For 1080 day comparisons, an untrained eye would not know the difference. 1080p is closer or larger so it hacks the untrained eye to think clarity. At low light, you can definitely see a difference however, if not side by side, 1080p was OK, as well. If you are visiting a cherished spot, go 4k as you will appreciate the footage in the future... have fun on you trip... There is great love here for you... BTW, you should do a video on the gear needed to do 4k vs 1080p, pc, ssd, etc. ...

Yeah, I love your feedback and suggestions! I think I'm leaning the same way as you suggested for the trip. I also appreciate your video suggestion!

Was it true? You did not lie? A lot of comparison - 1080p looks better, even letters look more clear in daytime and in night time. My guess is - maybe Pocket 3 processor is able to process image better when recording 1080p, and when recording 4K the processor of Pocket 3 is not able to use so much power in processing so it cuts corners and image looks worse. Just look at how better some korean letters look like on 1080p... or was the author joking and he mixed the labels? (btw, I watched on 43inch 4K monitor)

@@VaidasJSP Oh wow~~~ Thank you for the information!

In the examples you show, the timeline may be 4k, but you have placed two videos side-by-side with letterbox on top and bottom. So even if I view this video with a 4k monitor, the effective pixel resolution of each example video I am looking at is 1920x1080 at best. If you are shooting in 4K, but delivering in 1080 anyway, then the only reason to shoot in 4K is for the flexibility of some zooming or cropping in post, without sacrificing full HD resolution. I don't disagree with your conclusions - for most work, good full HD is perfectly fine.

Oh, interesting observation! Thank you for the feedback and comment!

It's not fair to compare 1080p and 4K by putting both videos side by side. Even if I have an 8K monitor, I won't be able to see any difference simply because you downscaled 4K from 3840x2160 to 1920x1080. You could just as easily argue that 1080p is no different from 540p if you scale down 1080p from 1920x1080 to 960x540, put both videos side by side and upload it to KZread at 1080p. You won't see any difference either. For a correct comparison, you need to upscale 1080p from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160 and show the footage one by one.

I've got a new iMac and every time got the results wrong. So perhaps 1080 p a lot of the time is just fine. Best for the New Year Dave

Nothing wrong with 1080p and I think most people probably don't care, but if you have a device that can record in 4K in this day and age why not just use it more? I bet a lot of your subscribers have 4K TVs and use the KZread app to watch your videos. At the end of the day it probably won't make much of a difference but I intend to record in 4K with my Pocket 3.

Nice video. Couldn't make the difference between 1080 and 4k They looked about identical when using it on the 20mm wide end. I would say the biggest pro of using the 4k is when zooming in 2x It almost looks like its a real zoom and I personally used it a lot with my Pocket 2 to emphasize something in the picture. That 2x zoom, gives a really pleasing and versitale focal lenght of about 40mm When in 1080 you can zoom in even to 4x but it looks crap. Also the 2x in 1080 is definitely not as good as the 2x when shooting in 4K. Another thing is that I haven't seen anyone on youtube trying the 2x zoom in 4k with active track to follow you while moving around, vlogging and etc. Add a little camera shake effect in post (I use davinci resolve and its really easy) and you can really really sell it as if someone else is taking a video of you. Would love to see a test like that, as the DJI P3 creator combo is still out of stock where I am and still waiting for it, lol)

Hello Mike, really appreciate the thoughtful feedback. Your points are quite valid for the argument of recording in 4K. I liked the active track suggestion on 2x zoom. I don't use DaVinci, so not sure they have that option for FCP. Sorry to hear the creator combo is sold out! I'm excited for you to get it! I loved my Pocket 2, but really happy with the Pocket 3!

@bzdishekzapadlovsky 4 минуты назад Why do you need 4k? Human visual acuity is 60 pixels per degree. Divide 3840 ( 4К ) horizontal line resolution by 60 pixels per degree and get 64. And what kind of number did we get? And this is the field of view of our screen with an image quality corresponding to our vision. Well, what is this “field of view (FOV)” more precisely? This is the angle from the pupil to the edges of the screen. That is, we see the world with a field of vision of about 180 degrees, and 4k provides a screen of only 64 degrees or 1/3 of our field of vision. Can you guess what I mean? Resolution increases in direct proportion to the increase in perceived screen size. And this is necessary to enhance the effect of presence. People never keep their distance to watch 4K because they consider it small..That's why they don't get 4K.

@@TravelingAhn, My knowledge begins with personal experience. I don’t want to watch the videos that I once shot at VHS-C now in comparison with modern ones. After all, it was then filmed for small CRT televisions. Now the size of the resulting image is much larger on modern TVs, not to mention projectors. In general, the trend of image enlargement that I noticed continues. And over time, we will still be able to obtain an image equal to our field of vision. Unlike you, I plan to shoot a video with my DJI Osmo Pocket 3 for my personal archive, that is, something that I will watch in many years, maybe even decades. Not like yours, when the video is interesting before the new model appears. And when the entire video provides an image equal to the field of vision (~180 degrees), the now shot 4K video that provides only 1/3 of it will look defective. Apparently it has become so obvious to me that it is difficult to realize that someone does not understand this.
