    Nature channels were a prime driver of HD content and adoption in the US. Most of those channels have dropped that and moved to 720p reality TV already.

    Kids feature animation has been the prime driver of 3D. Everything else seems to be running from it now.

    I'm not sure what will drive Quad HD or 4K adoption for consumers anytime soon. Most of us still can't see anything driving the trend but camera manufactures.

    @trevmar: XAVC apparently supports 10 and 12 bit h264. You can also use x264 to encode to 10 bit h264. Sadly there is no hardware acceleration for 10 bit h264 content, and even Premiere Pro won't take it it seems. Companies like nvidia and Intel (and any other, really) seem to think there is no 10 bit content, so they won't invest in upgrading their designs.

    Yawn....

    In a recent interview with TrustedReviews, Zurab Kiknadaze (Nikon EU product manager) talked about 4k video being "a bit tricky"and that Nikon is "looking into it for the future":

    We are aware of the need for, and request for, 4K video recording. It is a bit tricky, it’s not something that we are purposefully excluding from our cameras; however we need to approach it carefully. There are high-end cameras that produce this but it just puts such a load on the equipment. For us, because consumers are demanding it we are aware of this and will be looking into it for the future."
