I wonder what happens with ISO higher than 1600 with this bitrate.

Any chance for a magnify focus option while recording video with legacy glass?

That should be pretty easy to do.

I will check this out when on the computer and I will post my samples

I was testing out high iso raw stills in the dark and I noticed that I always get two different blue lines at high ISO at the bottom of the image always in the same position. The same lines I get when recording video from iso 3200 that I've been reporting and that some people don't see. Also my 18-200 is doing weird things since it misses focus for stationary objects too much (back or front focusing) and when used continuously it causes "freezes" in the EVF while I zoom in and out... sometimes it completely stops working and the camera won't shoot at all. So I'm sending both to warranty...my question is we all got that lenses are replaced all together since they don't repair them...what will happen with camera body though? Will it replaced as well even if they're discontinued or they will try to fix it or give me a refurbished one?

Anyway does anyone have the problems I described with both the camera and lens?

Youtubes copyright system is so awfull though. People claming videos that are not even theres and videos that dont violate copyright laws.

At least you can use use copyrighted music on there since the major monetizes on videos. I couldn't upload my last videos on vimeo since they got deleted immediately.

Going to get mine on Thursday now, Sony had a delivery technical issue so they are coming in a few days late here.

Looking forward to it.

I do wish Sony would change their menus, ergonomics, skintones, colour, LOG profile, jello, banding, macroblocking, edge tearing, etc. quite a long list isn't it? You can be assured my coverage won't be a PR smoothie unlike ALL OTHER SITES SEEMINGLY IN EXISTENCE.

Can I just say that Sony have some SUPERB PR people.

we'll see how it compares side by side in low light with the nx1

the 16-50 price raised by a lot..Im using the nx1 for stills with af and I must say I miss the optical viewfinder both for the quality and the af missing a lot of shots

Are you sure?  

This makes me think, G7's big brother, not A7S II's little brother (the noise starts dancing around everywhere, shadows, highlights, etc, right at ISO 3200 - this is not as a good as the R II in s35 mode even):

 

OK but compared to the NX1 is way ahead, I mean 12800 is decent, NX1's 3200 stars being unusable.

Inside of ISO 1600, they will be similar.   The NX1 video degrades at 3200, whereas the A6300 seems to degrade at 6400.   This is not the case for stills.  

I have an NX1, and A6000, and they are totally different cameras.  The NX1 is a joy to shoot with, higher hit rate on shallow depth of field, easy to use and fun to interact with. 

My opinion?  As good as the A6300 is, the NX1 retains APS-C champion hybrid status for 2 more years.  The only competition will be from the GH5 with 4k 60fps, if they can pull it off, which they will have to do remain in the game. 

Are you sure the a6300 degrades from 6400? The sample from cinema 5d shows much more than that!

Apparently the a6300 wins by a lot in low light.

I wish it can fixed but i really have doubts. Why would a nr bring blue lines? It seems more like something produced by electronics/hardware than a software thing.

I seriously don't get they the nx1 is do bad in lowlight while the a6300 can do this 

I mean there something wrong with the sensor design or we really need to remove that NR.

Wow... how come the NX1 can't even do good 3200?

Well, for NX500 it seems CPU freq is from 100MHz to 800MHz:

[root@drime5 debug]# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq  
800000

[root@drime5 debug]# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq
100000

Someone with NX1 could see what's there.

I need the telnet software to test.

I can sell you two Nikkor f1.4

which ones?

I literally had a very hard time seeing it, I tried using one white and one purple background to spot them sadly my Canon 400D is too old to shoot fast enough in the dark had to use my Xperia Z.

No idea what is going on in photo mode, but in movie mode they are visible somewhat at least I think it is what you mean. Its hard to take pictures of it though

yes these are the ones.

Looks great Bror. Beautiful lens and composition, but I am a sucker for slow rack focusing. What camera did you shoot that with?

If you already have the Nikkor 35mm f2, then why are you even looking for another lens in this range... Get some more Nikkors... How about the 50mm 1.2 or 85mm f2... Or the 20mm f2.8? There are so many great Nikkor lenses that you should be concentrating on building a nice set of those... IMO. 

I need more light and nikkors are not cheap...

"with what editing software? Adobe premiere afaik doesn't support hw decoding of hevc"

latest update of adobe cc2016 does. Davinci's latest does as well

are we talking about hevc support or gpu decoding? they're not the same

It was in a cpu config file. But in early firmware, I am plotting the changes and original values to see what sort of leverage can happen with them.

 

This is something that I have also been looking into. With luck it is just the change of an output flag and see if things can be pushed to a higher limit. HEVC and other compression systems are less intensive with less compression, so in theory it should be able to bump up to the bus limit and have less compressed files. In the later firmware the change from 15fps to 25fps for the raw output sort of shows the ceiling of bandwidth the processor can handle. Give or take 30MB raw file x 25fps data stream is 750MBs/6000Mbs

My goal is to see how close to the spec of a red weapon the nx1 can be. HEVC is sort of a pain but the way it works is more like the wavelet based .r3d files when HEVC is at lower compression rates. But the more I find the more interesting things get. And the things they did for this camera make it vastly unique compared to a canon or a sony.

 

The complexity of the nx1 makes that quite hard, if I am correct and there is an fpga/cpld core on board it gets more tricky. I have seen some signs though. No confirmation yet. More work will be done tonight on the dive though. I have compiled a large data sheet already on the things I have found in the first firmware update. But going though the code takes time.

 

And if people are having issues with HEVC I highly recommend getting a GTX960 so far the only gpu with fully enabled on board HEVC encode/decode and boy does it work well. And they are not very expensive. If you go by how HEVC does compression, when you transcode it would be in the Gbs if the data rate is doubled on camera

with what editing software? Adobe premiere afaik doesn't support hw decoding of hevc

If you need help with the UI, just message me... I design for Android, so should be fairly similar.

i can help as well

I also have the nikkor 35 f2 and I love it.

I love the cast.

I always had a thing for Samyang lenses. What worries me is that some lenses are only available for mirrorless mounts and the new ones not even for the NX mount I would feel more safe investing in lenses for the Nikon F mount you know?

I clearly saw them at ISO 3200 in video mode in dark areas... I will try to take a pic somehow.

Okay, primarily for photos in low light. How much do you want to spend?

I would say €300 at most (sigma 30mm 1.4 used price)

You can always get a cheap Thermographic camera and that way you can see how much it heats up during tests, however from my own experience I have not had any issues, its gotten real hot but still worked just fine and I did a lot of shoot with it once without little breathing in between.

There should be possibility to dump the RAW files to the card like Magic Lantern, do remember the live view is 2k~ at 50/60fps if choosen in the menu also I cannot see the 3200ISO blue lines in the live view that a lot of folks here seem to complain about, its clearly not the censor and more in the noise reduction and probably compression too.

I honestly never tried to see if the lines are on the livieview...what if they can't be seen due to size and amoled?

Update: just checked through the EFV and yes blue lines from high iso are also in the live view
