Just noting that the official guide[0] lists a number of cheaper cameras, including one that retails for $2k (the Panasonic BGH1).

- 999900000999 2y agoGood catch, you're probably still out closer to 3 or 4k with a lens, but it's definitely obtainable. I'm more disappointed my cheaper Canon isn't eligible. When I think about it, there's no reason every single streaming movie even needs to be in 4K. It's going to be compressed heavily anyway .
- danudey 2y agoPartly future-proofing, partly you want to have the best possible input data so that your output data, even when heavily compressed, can be the best it can be.
- brisketbbq 2y ago> When I think about it, there's no reason every single streaming movie even needs to be in 4K. I agree. I'd rather have better audio and actors not whisper their lines, forcing you to either turn on CC or turn up the volume. I wouldn't want to purposefully stream in 4k anyway - I don't really have a reason. The content I watch on YT is, IMO, much more interesting than the netflix shows anyway, and recorded with much less expensive gear.
