The jump from 1080p to 4K felt huge when I first got a 4K camera. The Jump from 4K to 6K/8K just doesn't feel nearly as big. It is nice to be able to reframe some shots on a 4K timeline, but overall 4K is plenty of resolution.
I can see the difference on my phone but will check tomorrow on my monitor. I also do a lot of cropping and reframing in my edits. High res footage has many pros for me. Stabilizing in post means cropping in. With 4k in 4k timeline, you would end up with softer image. Higher res also benefit for tracking and cgi puposes. 8k would make for some nice stills as wel. Noise/grain and other artefacts are less visible when scaling down to 4k. Content aware-fill and other AI features work better with high res footage. Other studios and freelancers prefer 8k over 4k if available.
For most people 8K is overkill. You’re really only gonna notice a difference if you’re watching it on a giant movie theater screen or at the Sphere in Vegas. If most of your content is just gonna be shown on a TV, computer screen or phone, it’s more important to increase dynamic range than resolution. And resolution isn’t necessarily going to make anything sharper after you’ve already made the move to 4K. The elements that’ll make the image sharper are the lenses, lighting and how you set the aperture.
I shot with the Sony A7RV recently for a photo project but I ended up shooting video for the same project as well and I noticed the difference as soon as I put the footage in Davinci.
There is a huge difference between 4K - 6K - 8K. Your not going to see it on youtube. RUclips only allows for 8K uploads up to 4320P. This video is posted in 4K 2160P. You did not upload in full 8K quality. If you had this in an 8K timeline your 4K clips would have black borders on them. Also to truely appreciate the image and see a difference you need a color calibrated display that allows for 8K viewing. 100inches or bigger! Most people even video pros only have 5K monitors at best. Panavision makes DXL2 Projector that can display true 8K like what you would shoot on RED Monstero full frame sensor. Very few theaters have these projectors. Most movie theaters display 4K or Digital IMAX which is only 2K. I see what you mean about people not "seeing" a difference but there is more data there even if most people can not perceive it.
I know there’s a huge difference. RUclips also wouldn’t let me upload it in 8k 🤷🏽♂️. The main difference is for editors cropping and reframing in post, cgi editors, animators and stuff like that. That’s really where 8k makes the most difference. In the video I was mainly speaking to the perceivable difference.

1000% agreed!

Some solid points!

I feel like I noticed the difference more in photo than video. Probably need my eyes checked again tho lol
