Is an 8K EOS-1D C Replacement Coming? [CR1]

If immersive means you can no longer see the full image without physically panning & scanning with your head & eyes then we have defeated the realism and viewing for long periods would be uncomfortable for moving images. The extra resolution is a mute point with moving images & less so with still images where we have time to be more critical.
We have reached a critical junction with resolution and for many we have already gone too far. Colour space is different many still prefer analogue because it imparts a more subtle look and a wider bit depth & colour space may provide for that subtle in digital that some feel it doesn't have.

Like everything however its subjective and we all hold our own views.

true that.

I honestly don't know how they are envisioning 8k .. whether it's more a surround virtual reality mode where the 8K resolution is covering a wider view?

I do know the audio is over 20 channels apparently. 22.2 is NHK's spec.

so if they are making audio very immersive , I can see them pushing for a far more video immersive effect. imagine it feeling like you are right there in the stands kind of thing.

when you think about it.. we are always presented with a wider field of view than we can comfortably see. every second of the day.
