If your not buying a full frame camera are you getting true 4K resolution ? the new low-light and 10,000 FPS cameras are game changers from last year

4K video has resolution of 3840 by 2160 pixels, about 8 megapixels.
Hd has two possible resolutions 1280 by 720 for 720p, or 1920 by 1080 for "full HD".
4K resolution can be achieved by a camera with a much smaller sensor than full frame. For example, the SX-50 Canon has resolution of 4000 by 3000 even though the sensor is about the size of a regular 8 mm film frame.
Though this particular camera has the necessary resolution it doesn't shoot 4K video.
The point is that 4K video is considerably lower resolution than many DSLR cameras of today. The more pertinent question is whether a given camera has the ability to shoot 4K video.

10,000 FPS?
Exactly where do you find one of those?

I'd say don't get hung up on 4K resolution. You have to watch it on a big TV to see the difference from 1080p....but you also have to be really close...too close. See here: http://www.cnet.com/news/why-ultra-hd-4k-tvs-are-still-stupid/

For my needs, 4K makes sense as an origination format, but 1080p is fine for TV playback. For web, 720p is practical. The value in shooting 4K video is not any benefit of immediate replay, but the ability to pull stills from video or crop "reframe" video to end up with a better composition and still at HD resolution. A top of the line GoPro can shoot 4K video, but the field of view is 170 Degrees. Unless you are shooting something within a few feet, the object of interest may be lower than SD (Standard Definition), if you needed to crop. A 4K/30fps GoPro retails for $500. Other Chinese brands advertise 4K action cams for under $100. They get the numbers by interpolating and stretching an HD frame (1K) to UHD dimensions, and are often only 10-15 fps. . You could do the same in software. You might as well stretch to 8K or 12K video so you can feel really proud.

You aren't being specific enough. Are you wanting to shoot 4k video? or just high res stills?

Also, is the 4K video just for handheld clips to add to your hi-rez stills... or do you need to shoot event videos that might last over 30 minutes? Most Cameras limit record time to 10-29 minutes. If you need longer, you need a camcorder and one with External Mic Input. Either way, Panasonic is a good place to start for either.. until you know what other details are important to you (low_Light, Hi-fps, etc)

Rock, welcome to the Hog!
For less than a thousand you can buy a refurb Canon kit 70D with 18-135 STM lens. It's not 4k but I would gladly give up the 4k for the video Auto Focus and adjustable focus speed transition offered by the 70d. This camera is a game changer in DSLR video. Soon all cameras and brands will do this.
The lens is also specifically designed with a low noise motor that won't intrude into the soundtrack and the stepper motor give better AF transitions than conventional lenses.
And the camera is pretty darned good as well!!!! Good luck. ;-)
