    8k would be useful for giant screens that people are going to see up close.

    Also, if your target is a lower resolution you can shoot wide and adjust your framing later without missing your target res. Probably most useful for nature programs.

    But yeah, you don’t need it at home.

      You mean a video wall. Can’t put all the resolution in your viewpoint; either it’s too high res, to the point it could be 4k and you notice no difference or it’s too wide and you have to look around.

        I’m thinking for more like an interactive display at a museum or something of the sort… something you’re not meant to see the whole picture at once.

        Maybe an “aquarium” “full” of extinct species that you could walk around. 🤷‍♂️
