4K Video vs single-frame photography

@ bob spez:
You also said what's quoted just below, which makes no mention of 16 or 32K, but yet
you do say the result would be a "500MP" image.
Since the thread title is about "4K stills", I was responding to your comments quoted below,
with only 4K and/or 8K on my mind. And acoarst 4K or 8K does NOT need 500MP.
I had read your words below .... but I had NOT read your SHORTER post where you said
that 16 or 32K would likely be 500MP. On that piece of math, I can almost agree with you.
500MP is rather high, but I agree it would be solidly into 3 digits :-)

Like so many things changing believe we might get there but not yet today. Maybe when we go to 8k video (happening today), then 16K, then maybe 32K it could happen.

Because when you travel, especially internationally,
and want both still photos and video clips (where they
are applicable) it is much more CONVENIENT and
FASTER to have one good camera do both versus
lugging both. Just a matter of which button to push.

Thaz true. Yet there is even more reason to want a
4K or better yet 8K hybrid camera. It's about using
video to catch the perfect still shot with very active
subjects.
My 6K Lumix records still shot that begin 30 frames
PRIOR TO touching the shutter release ... and that
include the 30 frame AFTER that ... IOW a 1 second
burst, with the user-chosen moment in the center.
This means you usually get the best moment even
though human reflexes may not be exactly perfect
for timing the shot :-)
And, yes, if you do the math, thaz 60 FPS. It's a
20MP camera in normal use, and it still delivers
18MP in 6K mode. More than plenty enuf !
If you wanna wait til 12K is intro'ed, that would
be 72MP, not much larger files than today's high
end still cameras. To me that says that 12K is
all one could realistically ask for.
