Would you pay more for 4k in the M5? If so, how much?

4k video is *not* for videos

For me at least, I wouldn't use a 4K mode to make normal videos. I would use it as a very high frame rate stills mode, and as a way to make "live photos" (iPhone style moving photos). DPreview knows about these uses of a 4K video mode, so I think they will reduce their M5 rating because it lacks 4K: even though the intended user probably doesn't have the skills or post-production tools necessary to produce a true high-quality 4K movie.
