It's not as simple as that. 4K only refers to the size of the image, and there are 4K cameras that are fairly poor quality all things considered (cosnumer cameras, iPhones, webcams) and high end 4K (cinema cameras) that take into account all kinds of different things e.g. compression, sensor size, etc.Soolsma wrote:What makes you think that? Lynch was shooting digitally, so it's probable he's using contemporary standards. Even smartphones have 4k cameras these days.Metamorphia wrote:For what it's worth, if it does get a 4K UHD release (unlikely, the format has not yet branched into TV shows), it will be an upscale as I don't believe S3 was shot in 4K.
The Arri Amira camera is I believe a 2.8K camera, and all in all the Arri digital range is probably the most popular camera in the industry at the moment used on a huge host of films by some great cinematographers. 4K is not this kind of ultimate level of quality that it's made out to be.
