I've no interest in an 8k TV so I can save some money that way:p, but as you can see the price of this sort of thing can be expected to drop pretty dramatically over a few years. Realistically it's more likely 4k will be on whatever my next dslr is and I'll find utility with that.

I assumed the primary purpose of the weighted pixel binning was for the video people. The down sampling from the full resolution of the sensor to 8k or 4k happens in-camera, so from this perspective it makes sense to do a good job of it. Planetary photography would be a secondary application, and since the OP seemed excited about the improvements it would bring, I'm wondering if it's just theoretical or if there are any practical examples (as they do say it's a feature in existing sony cameras).

Ahh, thanks for the description:). I get stacking images, but it seemed like the trade off between lower resolution and bit depth vs fewer images would often be a wash. That the atmosphere changes rapidly enough that you through away many images makes sense that you could start to favour video. Smarter in-camera binning would of course help. Are there any examples out there of the smarter in-camera binning bringing noticeable improvements for this type of photography? It's supposedly in some sony cameras already?

The ability to rapidly record many frames at a decent resolution has interesting potential for still imagery. Bring on the 8k I say!

I'm thinking the upgraded fancy sensor would also "upgrade" the price significantly.

Could you elaborate on this? I'm genuinely curious how video comes into astrophotography.:)
