This sort of question comes up often in a photo context on GFX forums and the most correct/accepted answer to it is "it doesn't matter." And any discussion of that sort of thing is going to quickly devolve into arguments about how bayer sensors work (hint: 4K from a bayer sensor isn't 4K of actual information and is actually closer to 1.5K-3.5K, depending on who you ask). But the short answer is "that depends on the lens, but some do for sure, some do near the center and not at the edges, and some definitely do not."

I'd like a dollar for every time he says oppo find... I believe the more youtube camera reviews i watch, the more cynical i become and the cynical part maybe exponential... i did like the intro, for a guy who lives in the country, its nice to see some travel footage. Although the title, travel film could be "code" for you, secretly need a new 8k camera phone. That in turn would probably necessitate a new tv, new computer, and maybe some other peripherals. So for me, probably not going to happen. Perhaps this new oppo is amazing, and good on them if it is. Personally i cant take a camera phone seriously if it doesn't have a lens cover. Every single lens i have bought except a couple of 2nd hand lens from japan have had lens covers. If smart phone manufactures cant put a plastic lens cover on it then their not taking their product seriously. During the into did think to myself one could do a similar thing with a gimbal and any phone camera or perhaps even an action camera. Sure enough a gimbal seems to be the secret sauce, oh and add 8k of course and the occasional hand held shot for added realism. I shouldn't knock the guy, at least he's out and about doing stuff, while i'm content to simply watch it, in my comfortable desk chair.. It was nice of oppo to send him the phone to vlog with, after that my mind boggles at the boat trips, plane trips, bike hire, and i'm thinking at this point his his business financials must be going backwards. 🙃 I did learn a few things from the behind the scenes part, so thanks for that . PS. Somebody should probably tell the dude, that you ride bikes, you don't drive them. It sounds kinda lame to anyone that does actually ride one.

Oh, you have met some of my family then?

Oops

Amazing spec really. Looks like it could be my forever camera….

Anything like Foolcontrol for RED? I know you like posting links but sometimes commentary or, at least, comment would be appreciated!
