When I hear terms like "Pseudo-4K" it makes me want to hit the author with a book. It's been quite a few years since that particular BS was dispelled - can we please, pretty please, move on?

This is from 2008 though...

So thankfully the RED Mythbusters and all the major motion and the indie crowds that are adopting or choosing to rent RED means that this article obviously was proven completely flawed.

Not to mention Canon saying they would be jumping on that 4K bandwagon before end of 2012 (at least thats estimated)...I definitely think that article is now flawed. Given, don't under estimate the workflow. If you don't understand it, it isn't that difficult but people can make simple complicated really fast, then you'll end up in the situation like the author seemed to find 4K presents.

Edit:

Greg beat me to it lol, yeah 2008.

Can't move on until the rest of the industry does. Many factors still prevent 4K from being a breeze to work with.

I got a pleasant surprise on my Friday film outing to see "J. Edgar." 14 of 16 of the local Regal metroplex screens had been converted to Sony 4k projectors since my last visit. They still have a couple of Barco 2k's in service. The theater is now all digital.
Upscaling of what I assume was a 2k digital print to 4k looked significantly better than any 2k projection I have seen in a theater. I have seen 4k projection in a trade show setting, can't wait to see a true 4k finished film in one of these theaters.
2008 was 3 years ago. Things have changed significantly in the US theater market.
Red 4k matches or exceeds the optical resolution of a typical 4k 35mm film scan, so whether it truly resolves 4k digital or not it is comparable to any film originated work flow in most meaningful ways short of IMAX or 65mm.
Shooting 4k, like shooting film, is about capturing high information content so you have as much quality and creative freedom as possible to post to any other format.

Not true.

The biggest obstacle now is people who think that 4K RAW is anything other than easy to work with.

Even 5K RAW is pretty easy and quite affordable to post.

So what do you think these factors are anyway? I mean aside from people who don't know about Red post talking about Red post anyway?

Which with the rate of change in the Industry is like being from the stone age, a good read, but mainly irrelevant in November 2011.
