You probably already have 4K TV at home, they are very affordable now, it almost doesn’t matter whether you buy FullHD or 4K TV. So far, no TV channel broadcasts in such a resolution, and there are already quite a few channels in FullHD resolution. So what is the actual difference in the image quality itself, why the higher price?
Quick explanation of the terms 4K, FullHD, UltraHD
FullHD or FHD or full resolution video is a video that has a resolution of 1920×1080, a total of 2.07 million pixels.
UltraHD or UHD or 4K has a resolution of ~ 3840×2160 and has about 8.8 million pixels, which is 4x more!
The image below shows that a larger number of pixels is present, so the image is of better quality.
On a small screen, e.g. phone it really won’t come to fruition. It is definitely noticed on bigger televisions.

Why a higher price for a 4K clip?
For the last 5 years we have been thinking about when it will be time to record in 4K quality and what price we should offer in order to pay off and stay competitive.
First of all, professional cameras that record in 4K are expensive (say 2 cameras with equipment = a new middle-class car). It is true that nowadays the phone can record such a resolution, but the image quality is much worse in poor lighting conditions and especially if you use digital zoom. With the cameras, we can shoot at higher framerates at these resolutions, which means we can slow down the shot without any loss of quality. Then there are the dynamic range of the image, the graininess of the image, the errors of small lenses, …
Try it yourself: record a video with your phone and play it on your phone and on a bigger screen e.g. television.
This is as far as equipment is concerned, and then comes the assembly. For the processing of 4K recordings, it is necessary to have good computer equipment, as well as the time for uploading, processing and exporting, writing on media is more.
Examples:
Below are examples of video in FullHD and 4K image resolution.
In the video, click the Settings icon -> Quality -> 2160p (4K)
We recommend viewing in full screen mode (“f” key).
The difference may be more visible if you watch 4K video on a screen that supports 4K resolution.
Note: The final product is of better quality than compressed videos on Youtube.
Concluding opinion
So filming a wedding in 4K resolution is a bit more expensive for a reason. But in the end we get the memory of the most beautiful day in the best quality, which will certainly be suitable for the next generation. The pleasure of reliving the memories of that day, however, will be so much better.
