You sure like to oversample.
ProRes 4444 XQ ?

The 8k sensor was for field of view on the lens set but also I like the "smoothness" of the high pixel count and reduced banding.
8k to 2k prores in camera looks amazing. You should see it without the crappy YouTube compression !!

ProRes 422 HQ.

Calculating with previous claimed s/n ratio of the RED dragon camera's of 84 dB(not sure though) which is 14 effective bits(per bayer pixel) and your oversampling you could end up with 18 bits accuracy at 2k RGB (108,4 dB).

It's almost cursing in a church to show it on youtube or record it in ProRes 422HQ (10bits of which information is thrown away "The two chroma components are sampled at half the sample rate of luma: the horizontal chroma resolution is halved.").
