I mean 1080p full-hd sounds like a lot, but professional cameras use a much greater resolution. And I'm not sure what resolution cinemas render, but I'm guessing it's greater than 1080p.


For TV-appliances it's a great tool though, since it will never demand a greater resolution than 1080p. At least not for now [img]/emoticons/emotion-13.gif[/img]



I didn't see anyone post this info so here we go:


Red One is about an APS-C sized sensor at 4k resolution where the 5D mkII is 5.6k.


Movie theater projectors are 2048 dpi. So I'd be willing to bet the firmware in the 5DII's on movie sets are hacked to produce at least the 2048 dpi.
