You really can’t compare a 4K image to a 1080 image; more is almost always better... I bought and returned just about every top 1080 (consumer not pro) camcorder until I tried this one. It is a keeper but different from 4K. The Sony 4K camera can produce amazing images but has a few downside: 1) The Sony viewfinder doesn’t show well in bright sunlight, IMHO the Canon’s OLED display is better, 2) the Sony doesn’t pan well (known problem), 3) 4K is more difficult to work with (large files take much more time to manipulate and upload)... You can work around most of those issues by buying a good computer; most any high end gaming machine would work fine.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This unit is 1080 hence it has much less resolution than the Sony 4K. Both are exceptional cameras but you should pick one according to your needs. I chose the Canon over the Sony because it works better for panning in sports that move back and forth (like tennis or water polo). I also wanted smaller files that are easier to edit and upload to YouTube. If you plan on working with 4K you need a machine with a fast processor, a good GPU and plenty of hard disk space. Additionally if you plan to upload files you’ll want a fast internet connection and lots of patience. Of course, a 4K file definitely gives you lots of options when processing so if you’re doing a professional shoot (like a wedding) it would be a nice way to go.
