I would love to see more tests or information on this. Does anyone have the shineybow scaler? http://www.bhphotovi...stribution.html It appears to do the same thing for a lower price. I'm debating between the A7s and the GH4 right now and the idea of downscaling while recording with the A7s will effect my decision. Could change my work flow. I know nothing about the technology behind downscaling but I'm wondering if there are some custom chips specifically for the process that might be used for most equipment and the cameras that do it. I also wonder if Blackmagic Designs has something along these lines. Sounds like something right up their alley.

It seems that this could really change one's workflow. Recording in enhanced 1080 would save an enormous amount of hard drive space and in some ways simplify things. The GH4 essentially does this in camera, but of course you lose the low light capabilities of the A7s. I wish I could see more tests. I'm also wondering if the Atomos Shogun or any similar recorder could do this in a single unit. Could it take a 4K input and downscale to 1080 and record. If this would increase the detail while keeping file sizes low, it would be useful.
