Canon confirms 8K capable EOS R camera in development

[R1-7D]

Guess we know what that 8K camera on their road map is now.

All this talk of 8K (and 4K). What will be filmed on these cameras? YouTube vlogs? Low budget short films? The next potential Oscar winning epic? I never see discussions about 4K/8K that talks about what these cameras will be filming, just people obsessing over the technology. I’ve yet to see anything on YouTube that would improve if filmed in 4K. It’s like saying newer cameras won’t improve your photography. If you are an inexperienced filmmaker, 8K/4K won’t help.

Nuh, roll up design. Like a large roll of toilet paper.

Right! Toilet paper to match the artistic quality of the 8K videos on YouTube...

I wonder can normal people spot the difference between 4K and 8K.
It's like a visual diminishing returns.

At normal viewing distances for screens of less than 60 inches, it is hard to tell the difference between 720p and 1080i.

And ridiculously big difference between some phone video at 1080 and a proper Blu-ray Disc movie also.

Yes, you can tell more difference between bad 1080p and good 1080p than between good 1080p and good 4K on a decent TV at normal distances.

Similarly, streaming video quality can have more to do with bitrate than theoretical resolution.
