It is nothing but marketing hype, and completely irrelevant to anyone who isn't making theatrical release cinema.

Dynamic range and colour depth are what really matters. But that is harder to market, so the manufacturers are all talking about 4K instead.

Here are three top cinematographers making that exact point at IBC last week.

So yes, the Sony Experia records in 4K, but it records a shallow, lifeless picture. So it is worse than useless IMO. At least the Lumix is headed in the right direction.

I HATE smartphone footage. Apple, Samsung, whatever. They are utter crap. This is because a camera is "light capturing device" and smartphones have sensors which are the size of your smallest fingernail.

All the stuff about "20 megapixels" is pure nonsense. Sensor size is ALL that matters. (OK, that's a slight exaggeration. But sensor size is way, way, way more important).

So this new phone is intriguing - it has a one inch sensor, putting it on par with a lot of mid-range DSLR cameras. Of course it is also 900 euros.

As expected the price of the (now superceded) GTX760 has dropped by 40%.
