Many say they will wait until this or that (computer stuff) catches up and then go with resolution increase. If they want greater resolution and this is desirable strategy, then all of your captured pictures and memories before computer catches up will be lower resolution than what you will, at that point, determined to be nice to have...
If you never want greater resolution, nothing is lost, of course
Maybe it makes sense to explain for video people. The 4k isn't really here. There can be some benefit to capturing 4k now so those recorded moments will be higher resolution when the time comes...
Of course, in the meantime, dealing with larger files and/or downsampling
vs.
Later upsampling.
Which is a better strategy..?
+ It is some similar to the argument to advise people to take RAW pictures just in case they want to edit them later.. Large displays with a lot of resolution (thinking living room and not computer) will be nice ways to display images..
Any opinions on recording only 16MP from the 24MP camera. May seem a waste, but you get the smaller file size for many pictures and have access to greater resolution when you want it. Again, like advising a person to shoot JPG and JPG+RAW for special times to 'future proof' images..

I have only a small trailer pulled behind my car.
Never forget the spare key now.
I enjoyed your comments about RAW HDR and whatever else.
There is so much of my camera I do not use...
