Hi,

I would like to know if if I shoot 6K on the Pocket 6K and later render the final video in 4K, will the image be sharper than if I shot it natively with the Pocket 4K? Or is the benefit marginal in this case?

I personally don't think the difference is huge but between more pixels to work with and a slightly larger sensor I can get a slightly better image from my 6KP than my 4K.

I had both, and when you put in the bad situation (low bad light, strong contrast, a lots of high freq details) you can have a better picture of 4K from a downscaled 6k.
6k is a bit noisier than 4K be cause sensor is more dense, but downscaled the picture is better than 4K directly.
If you shoot in the correct situation of light, where you not lift later the picture, both cameras give you excellent picture, i did many doc and musical video (classic music where editing not hide lack of picture like a rock or metal video could do) and you cannot notice where I used ones or other.

i wrote some years ago a comparison between pocket 4k and 6k and why you should choose ones or another.
it's my blog and it's in italian, you can translate by google translate.
