Perhaps they designed it expecting to downsample by 1.74x, but then didn't like the result, and in the end chose to crop it and use "pure pixels" instead. That's the only big flaw I see, from the specs.
Why does anybody buy a 30mp camera to do 8mp video? OK, I get it that the older cameras didn't offer 4k so you need a newer model, but otherwise why do people ask "Does the 5DsR do video? How about the 1Dx2? etc."
