I'm not au fait with the science, but if Sony uses a genuinely innovative and clever compression, then why not?
It's a useful payday with storage & buffer depth.
(slightly OT) The Panasonic GH4 applies some sort of innovative & clever compression to the 4K output. I'm not too concerned about the science, but the results speak for themselves. By way of comparison, one minute of GH4 4K video demands almost exactly the same amount of storage as one minute of 5D MkIII video at full res. I'll take the cleverly compressed GH4 4K output any day. Plus I love that it records 4K internally, unlike Sony.
Vive le innovative compression! (but only if it's sufficiently clever...)
