+1!If we are talking about photography, it is always better to have as much pixels as you can. You can hardly crop the 1080p image because the quality goes very low, while at 4K you can easily afford yourself that. The quality of 4K image is good, almost the same as if captured with a quality DSLR. And even the picture quality of 4K video snapshots is acceptable.
At video 4K and 2K makes almost no noticable difference on 17 or 19i monitors. And almost all of the people watch HD size video. andy if you don't have a 4K monitor you can not see the 4K quality at all !
I have 24i monitor and it is completely the same if I play 1080 or 4K video when the monitor is set to HD res. If I switch to 4K res. than the difference is quite obvious.
Maybe it is wise to capture video in 4K and then render it in 1080 res, and have 4K version saved if you might use it some day.
