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. 🙁

4k on a 5.2" screen? Doesnt sound too exciting tbh.

Or move the file to a 4K TV and watch it there? ..

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.....

well d'oh of course it ain't as good but you will get really decent videos with them smartphones. Any dedicated thing will win over one that is for everything.

I can see what he means though, 720p on a dedicated camera would likely look better than 4k on a phone. The lens size is usually too small, and i doubt the phone storage can support the bitrates needed for pixel free 4k . Still, it's a nice feature to have and 4k on a phone will surely look better than 1080p on a phone, so surely that is all that matters?
