This is my first 4K sample from the X70. I'd hoped to have gotten home long before sunset to get some pretty shots, but was delayed, so I just grabbed what I could to see if indeed I can shoot and edit 4K with my existing equipment. Not my prettiest work, but it did what I needed.

Survey says: YES!

Transcoded w/Sony Catalyst to XAVC Intra 4096x2160

Edited with FCP X 10.2.1 on mid-2012 MacBook Pro Retina laptop, 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7

Looks good on my 1080 monitor. I'll check it out in 4K when I get home.

Was this shot in 30p?

How did you get the 4k license so soon?
