Yes, they're junk. I think it'd be unwise to leave them in the camera during prolonged storage. Anyone have recommendation for a good 3rd party battery?

Received my Power2000 batteries and charger for the NX500. Today. Not impressed, they don't fit perfectly into the camera like the stock battery does. Let's see if they hold a chage. Disappointed so far.

Can you comment on the improvement of the nx500 post hack? Did you do any comparison?

Anyone know how many stops of DR? Any tests?

Sounds like you weren't in love wtih the 2.5k image. I've heard reports it's plagued by moire, aliasing, and skew. You've mentioned before it was a clean image with good motion cadence. able to elaborate?

Even now, very hard to find any 2.5k footage or analysis of it.

the stock NX500 screen doesn't show the image? I have to use an external monitor? Also, do you get the cropped 4k FOV? You'd get full view right?

Are there now options for editing 4k h265 natively?

the Kamerar works with a small mod.

I understand that the 2.5k video mode for the nx500 is a reality now via the hack. Are there any reviews or opinions on the benefits of this hack? What does it give you in real world terms beyond what the stock settings provide? less moire? less noise? less skewing? less aliasing? what are the pros and cons? thank you.

​This has been my experience too after some months with the NX1. Worst of all is frequent aliasing. I simply cannot recommend this camera if your intent is video. NX1 seems to under perform its specs and I think it's a bust in terms of video capability. Stills is another story. For 3 grand you can get a way better video camera (body plus 16-50 package). I pulled out an my old weather worn GH2 today and did some home vids. Looked way way way cleaner and artifact free than the NX1. Samsung needs to get serious about optimizing this cams alleged potential, these firmware updates are just nibbles along the edges, the camera just isn't that good at video, it needs nearly a perfect storm of small lighting ratios and carefully chosen subjects that won't alias to get a good image in video.

NX1 owners are very defensive about the NX1's image, they claim either the NX1 doesn't alias at all, or that the aliasing, if any, is from scaling a 4k image on to 1080p display. Why doesn't the GH4 alias then? Like, at all? It's scaling too, so why no aliasing?

I'm crestfallen. Thought this was a NLE.

Rumors? wish we had some support.

I'm no soundie but have operated under the assumption that the right shock mount is determined by the mic you use.
