Do You Use 2k Or 4k? Will 1080 Be Sufficient?

[SmokyOwl]

It wasn't a computer thing, I was getting a message that YouTube was having technical difficulties of some sort. I'd keep trying to reload the page and it'd just crash with the message.

That being said something to keep in mind too, just because you have a 4K camera and your computer can play 4K back and your router & internet connection can handle that high data stream....doesn't mean all your subscribers can.

being me and majority of people dont have 2k or 4k tvs or monitors 1080 is fine.. 4K works great if there is anything you want to zoom in on..
most time people fooled just think 4k is better and dont realize they need 4k monitor..
I never seen difference between 1080 and 4k..

Rendering and displaying in 4k is not necessary at all. But I still feel if you can shoot the source material in 4k, do that.

You end up collecting more data and picture information than shooting purely in 1080p, and have more freedom in editing without worrying about losing too much image quality.

Agreed with most 1080p is the best. Saves bandwidth, is crisp, caters to the mass and saves disk space as well.

But, I'm not sure about the FPS. Do you think Youtube streams videos at more than 30 fps!!!!

1080 is fine 60fps is more important for me

My view is - general chatter and road vlogging 1080P is fine.. for arty projects where i am trying to get creative i had shot and would do again in 4K but 4K for general chatter in my opinion is a waste of bandwith uploading, downloading, editing etc as seeing a pizza hut or traffic go by in ultra quality is pointless - generally you could get away with a black screen if the audio was engaging as no one watches vlogs to see traffic, people crossing the pedestrian crossing etc. (unless they smoking hot) right?
