G85 overheating? record time? light sensitivity? stabilization?

If you want easy workflow, just shoot 1080p.

Not clear how resolution simplifies workflow. Assuming native processing (no proxies) and adequate capability in the workstation and software of course. In terms of workflow on the capture side also, 4K or 1080p still have to be in focus, properly lit, framed, color balanced, etc. Of these, focus would seem to be the only part that would possibly be harder. I can't imagine that you are saying the G85 AF performs poorly at 4K and acceptably at 1080p! Makeup? Plastic surgery for 'talent'?

Have you ever done any of this? I'm thinking you haven't.

And this 'thought' helps how?

1080 workflow is way easier. ...

Since you give no indication of your workflow or the platform you are working with in post, this isn't helpful either.

If I understand your viewpoint correctly, you are advocating writing all this data to one file, at 100GB each, that is just insane.

Many are working with files this large. There is no need for such insulting generalizations.

Just the sheer size of the files generated by 4K (probably unnecessarily) makes the workflow harder. Then using the higher bitrate adds to your problems.

Resolution has a HUGE effect on workflow. This is one of the first things that becomes apparent to anyone actually working with video. This is way different to high resolution still photography.

Apparently you know. We have your opinion but nothing from you specific enough to inform our decision making process. 'Because I say so' doesn't wash.

Based on your comments, it would be just as valid for me to assert that your post production computing platform is under powered and under capacity. And your "experience" proves it!
