Overall the image quality is almost identical in both the 6K and 4K versions of the pocket cinema cameras. I say almost because even though the colors and dynamic range is identical the resolution alone does make a difference. The 6k sensor creates noticeably sharper and more detailed images. It also helps a bit in hiding the noise when shooting at higher ISO and low light situations.

Another minor thing I noticed is the limitations of the codecs. For example when shooting in either of the two versions of 6K (16:9 or 2.4:1 aspects) or in 5.7K or 2.8K resolutions plus Anamorphic, you are limited to only the BRAW (Blackmagic RAW) codec. Once you switch the resolution to 4K or HD it then defaults to Apple ProRes. I wonder if Blackmagic will be addressing that in a future firmware. For me personally this wasn’t a problem since I always shot in 6K and I also prefer BRAW format. Also if you are wondering about the 4K Apple ProRes format, it does actually use the whole sensor, so no cropping happening there.
