As Meta4 just stated above, all of them can shoot in 1080p, if that is your only criterion. The P3S and P3A aren't limited to shooting at 2.7K any more than the P3P is limited to only shooting at 4K. Shooting at a higher resolution like 2.7K, or 4K on the P3P, allows larger resolution stills to be extracted out of the video. The stills extracted out of the 4K video are almost the same size (4 MB) as the JPG images taken in Camera mode on the P3P, as opposed to only 1MB stills extracted from a 1080p recording. In 4K, you have 4x the data recorded to preserve dynamic range and sharpness, even if you later convert to 1080p. You can also zoom in at 4x to any 1080p portion of the 4K video frame to create 1080p video with no loss of sharpness or resolution. 4K is a huge benefit on the P3P, in addition to all the other reasons you stated.Yeah I know they can, that's why I'm saying I'd prefer 1080p over 2.7k. Why mess around with an oddball resolution like 2.7? 1080 will playback on most screens natively. 2.7k will require re-endcoding. Camera on the Pro kills the Standard purely for the option of recording in UHD as UHD screens are becoming more common now.
