4k video

All reviews ive read have completely missed to review the 4k capabilities.

Can someone be nice and upload two short clips, 4k and 1080p of the same view.

I have seen comparisons on youtube. But they are way to compressed.
 
I have a feeling you need an actual 4K display to appreciate the difference (but I could be wrong).
Welcome to the forums, by the way, Agnoslibertine! :)
 
True, but i video edit a lot, and 4k means that you can crop a video. :)
So to it would really help if i could investigate
The quality of the clips in my video editor.
 
I also shoot and edit video. When I started hearing the rumors of 4K video, I went nuts!

Unfortunately, current rumors are saying that the US version is NOT getting the 4K capability. I still intend on getting the Note 3, however this is extremely disappointing if true.

Really? From what I understand the US version or at least the S800 processor version is the only one getting it since it's the only one that can support it. The international version doesn't have 4k recording.

EDIT: also at least the Verizon page for the note 3 lists UHD recording in it's specs.
 
US versions will be the S800, the main international version will also be S800. The Exynos version, which lacks 4K is only being released into a few markets.
 
Finally got to see sample tests of 4k. I can confirm that it truly is 4k. Even if you downsize to fullhd you still get more details. Meaning, this note 3 will directly compete with dslrs. Only wish there was a good video app on android like filmic pro.
 
4k video = 2160p (2160p is 1080p x2 for those who arent math savy)

So video went from 480p to 720p to 1080p now 2160p is the next step. Nobody owns a 4k tv because right now the cheap ones cost 8k + and the format is still relatively obsolete

The usa phones definitely have 4k video, and its incredibly memory intense. I read a review yesterday (one linked in the sticky up top) talking about 4k video. They said a 30 second video clip is over 300mb, thus a 1:40~ second clip would be roughly 1gb

It absolutely sounds like a really neat cool feature, but its certainly not very practical.

(and as to the above, youre thinking resolution).

Just think of 4k video as super hd
 
Here's my question, as I don't know the actual answer, but if one was to record in 4K, wouldn't it only be beneficial if they have a 4k TV to view it on?

Yeah, I don't understand the claim that recording in 4K and then downsampling to HD is somehow better or sharper than recording in HD in the first place. Of course, if you're doing cropping or complex retouching or artistic effects I could understand why you'd perform those actions at higher resolution and then downsample for final production.

I guess it's possible that people like the idea of capturing scenes with incredible detail to distribute to an audience possessing 4K TVs even if they themselves don't yet have such a TV.

So, it should probably be mentioned to the general consumer that, there's really no sense in shooting in 4K, if they don't have any professional reasons for using it and/or know anybody that owns a 4k tv.

Makes no difference to me, as I was planning on just shooting in 1080p as I've done in the past anyway...at least, for video.
