It's 1080p. From the specs > Resolution 48MP binned to 1080P

  That's ridiculous. 48MP should be capable of at least 4K video. Are their yields still not high enough at 4K even if they're charging an order of magnitude more than what the components actually cost?

    They don’t have any yields. This is an off the shelf Sony sensor and they chose the cheaper binned part. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exmor https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exmor

      (Non-mobile link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exmor https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exmor) Ah, so they only care about money. Perfect. Also hilarious that they say it's "binned" to 1080p when they're actually only getting the rejects that weren't good enough for 4K! Way to be technically correct, Opal.

        Binning in this context refers to the technique of taking adjacent pixels to get lower noise in readings (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pixel_binning https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pixel_binning). It has nothing to do with binning in chip making (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Product_binning https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Product_binning). It's still pretty surprising to see 48 megapixels binned to basically 2 megapixels.

      I wonder if it could be swapped :)

    Agreed. I’m running a Logitech Brio (4K) and while it’s not perfect it’s pretty decent to auto adjust for the lighting in most rooms.
