4K on a smartphone=waste of time and resources. The recording time will be severely limited, regardless of the memory card used. Do 1080P or ever 720P videos shot on a smartphone look ANYWHERE near as good as a stand alone video camera? Not even close in fact when I see a smartphone ramp up 1080P shooting (even the iPhone) I laugh, so why would 4K be any different. Cute Sony, but stop trying to be like Samsung and one-up each other with stupid features that excite people because they are bigger numbers. 4K is a professional standard, not consumer.....

And a lot of us Z1 users are hoping 4k video recording will come to the Z1 as well.. But there may be some sort of hardware limitation in that regard. 4K video recording was in Z1 test devices but sony stripped it for some reason.
