I’m looking at camera for a video project I have in mind. For this, I think the degree to which I can play with the video files is more important than the actual resolution. Output resolution will be 1080p.
It looks like there are generally two options for most cameras: 4k at a lower Mbps (e.g. 100 Mbps on the GH4) or 1080p at a higher Mbps (e.g. 200 Mbps on the GH4). Note, no guarantee I'll end up with a GH4, just using it as an example.
I’m wondering what would give me more latitude for grading? The higher Mbps, lower res option, or the lower Mbps, higher res option (and an explanation of why would be great!).
Also, thoughts on why the lower resolution option allows for higher Mbps would be interesting as well.
My other question (or maybe part of the same question) would be how does Mbps relate to dynamic range? I assume more Mbps = more dynamic range but maybe that is incorrect?
