Hi, I posted this elsewhere, in the newbies forum, so i think that wasn't quite the right place to begin with, since the question is aimed at people with experience in the stock business:

 I'm new here. I've decided to make a move into the Stock Footage business. I find it at the same time potentially lucrative (like, i suppose, everybody) and fullfilling.

Anyway, i already have very nice glass in my arsenal, and a few interesting cameras where i can use it. But i have nothing that shoots better than 1080.

So, although i know that 4K is the future, i would like to ask experienced people if it is already an unavoidable present. In other words, is it "ok" for me to start creating my portfolio and uploads shooting 1080 film, or should i just forget about that, make the necessary investement in a 4k capable body, and just go from there?

I side question to my point would be: What sells more? Having footage taken with fantastic lenses in 1080, or more mundane (though competent) footage taken with something that shoots 4k?

People who have already sold many clips, and are in the business for long, how does the 1080 (still) sell when compared with 4k.

PS - the purpose for me would always be to update at some time and start shooting 4k.

Thanks for all the comments, it's a tough world to get into, so many things to learn and decide...
