Used it last year for showing e-bay how I have been scammed. Didn´t have to post it. Photos did it for me, and I got my money back. That was only time I thought I need the video. It´s nice to have it as a backup, but If the camera would be cheaper, I could do with the old FullHD 30fps and move along. On the other hand, if the manufacturer would like to lure me on another purchase with video, they would need to step up the game. That is, 4K 30FPS with good bitrate as a total minimum, better 60FPS and more bitrate....

But if you used video so infrequently, why do you even need 4k? You just said you used it to show to a video ebay (which you didn't even need in the end). What else have you used video for in say the last 2 years?

That´s not how it works. It´s like they would lure me on cool feature, and I´ll be happy to start using it as a new part of my imaging hobby. I´m not likely to start with subpar video without future proofing.
