However the 2.5k is pretty much useless. Tons of moire, artifacts, and low quality overall. There is a reason they left it out of the official firmware!

1080p looks much better than the 2.5k.

I was surprised at just how good the 1080p is. I know it's not apples to apples comparison but to my eyes the 1080p looks more detailed than 4k on any phone I've owned.

Just a shame that uploading to YouTube results in a lot of compression, which is why it can be useful to upscale to 4k first.

I'll have to test it of course, but I was hoping the 2.5K with no crop would help in low light compared to the 4K mode.  We'll have to see.  It doesn't necessarily have to match the LX100 at f1/7 vs. Samsung kit lens at f/3.5, but I was hoping it would be close.  Even then, IS it not that crucial at 24mm FOV equiv in my opinion, so I could entertain the 16mm f/2.4 and gain 1 full stop of light over the f/3.5-5.6... and if I wanted to go big $$ and big size maybe the 16-50mm f/2-2.8 : )
