Here's a good interview/article that may help clarify the question of downsampling and how to achieve true 4K rez without interpolation -

it makes a lot of sense, but there are also a few silly notes in this rumor

for example:
[quote]It is 4K out of the box but from a 8K sensor. It downsamples for TRUE 4K unlike the Epic[/quote]

if it records 4K RAW, it doesn't downsample to true 4K
if it records 8K RAW, it downsamples to true 4K, but then it's not a 4K camera, it's an 8K camera!
it doesn't add up

Mezzanine compression FTW?
