Mu-43 Hall of Famer
I dunno, is it a generational cohort thing? There is a certain "old man yells at cloud" quality to it - I mean - just the weird preoccupation with fixed figures like 1.7tb/hr for scare factor. See how that sounds in 18 months! Your first thought will probably be, "Only 1.7tb/hr? is that going to be enough to be any good?"
I think you may be holding the wrong end of the dog. Just consider the fact that most of today's 'younger generation' stores everything on their mobile phone. PC sales have declined, tablets have grown to a large extent and mobile phones sales have soared. If 4K video requires 1.7TB of storage for every hour of video recorded, where is the average person going to store those files? Most tablets have a maximum storage capacity of 256GB, mobile phones even less. You'll record how much 4K on a 16GB SD card? How easily and quickly can you transfer GBs/TBs of files to and from the cloud? Remember, a lot of people want to transfer stills and video to Facebook and whatever, the moment after it has been taken. Do you think 4k is going to be obliging?
