I can imagine that the BMPC-4K is likely to record higher real detail compared to the BMCC.
However, I'll need to see camera-original BMPC-4K files before I'm convinced the BMPC-4K will be less prone to moire & aliasing compared to the BMCC. Unless JB assures us beforehand.
I used to own a broadcast 3-CDD camcorder (Sony DSR-450WSL), and its relatively high-resolution sensors tended to record a lot of moire & aliasing onto its DVCAM (SD) media. As a result, I'm perhaps over-sensitive to this aspect of the "unknown" BMPC-4K video quality. I'm hoping this fear is unfounded, and that the moire & aliasing issue in the DSR-450WSL was perhaps due to a mismatch between its sensor res and its OLPF or the res of DVCAM.
Am curious to learn more on this topic from the smart people in the room.
Cheers.
