    Assuming it's shaky-cam style like the first, I can't think of many cameras worse than the A7s/A7sII. Jello city!

    Hallo NX World, the NX Booster it's coming soon! This is the Prototype Mark II. 
    Marco do not worry, if I do not post my progress, is because I have a lot of work in my private life. Next week I start the test with Nx1 camera.

    On the situiation between Ed adn ES: hopefully it will be resolved in that thread and not dominate the forum forever more!
    A lesson remains: never use western union to send money for private purchases. The risk is too high.
    I wasn't involved in banning Zach, and had plenty of decent chats with him, though he does come across as unstable. That meant that every single thread he waded into was derailed onto the T2i even when it was completely irrelevant. It started to negatively affect the forum as lots of threads went way off-topic and turned into arguments. I think there were enough fair warnings there TBH across a lot of topics and messages. He's actually not deleted but he is post-blocked for getting two warnings, so you can read messages. These blocks can be revoked too.
    As for the community here, I think it's excellent. I've known Andrew a long, time, though we don't see a huge amount of one another I do know he's kept his passion for being an advert-free independant voice.
    In fact I've been here since i had a T2i (first serious camera i had) and have learned a lot and taught some others.
    Compared to many communities, I feel we have a good balance and fair moderation standards. There's no atrocious ban-hammer, but there's a sensible limit set on bad behaviour.
    Here's to many more years of learning and lolz

    @Damphousse  Your comments about the lens are true are why I bought the Sigma in the Nikon mount.  I do, however, think it's funny that the "professionals" on here all knock the NX1 because the company closed their camera business.  I can  honestly say that since the day they closed their business, especially with the hacks, the camera footage has actually gotten better.  Imagine that...people loving a camera so much they continually try to improve it   Shooting videos of my kids, I, like most people in the world, don't need an Arri Alexa.  If you only have $1200 to spend...you could do worse than the NX1...

    Unfortunately, Ebrahim, when you chose to steal from other people, you risked ruining your reputation.
    I think this thread should remain on the forum, but locked, onced the matter is resolved. You are only refunding these people (if you actually do) because of the pressure brought upon you by this thread. If the OP had not started it, you might have been tempted to scam more people, given your previous success.
    You are a criminal because you have stolen from (at least) three people and you are a liar because you have lied repeatedly and continuously. These are not desirable characteristics for a Dentist starting out on his career and now future employers will be able to see how untrustworthy you are.
    You brought this upon yourself and risked a huge amount.

    Time out Please!
    ES needs to refund the 3 people involved in this matter , it's between him and them .
    Andrew is away filming and I don't think he will want an internet intervention lynching branded by EOSHD members when he has said if this is not resolved he will get the authorities involved.
     
    ES contact the three people involved , keep in regular contact with them and get on with the plan for refunding them in full with a realistic time frame they are happy with and stick to it.
    or you will be dealing with Andrew Reid direct.

    Have you done this?
    Now take a long hard look at this thread.....are you seeing how childish & stupid it all is?
    This guy probably doesn't exist & if he does, why would you waste anymore time or energy on him.
    There are some people, in this thread, who are on the verge of ruining this forum, if that hasn't been done already.
    Its been coming a while & I've posted a lot less over the last year or two and I've noticed a lot of the other usual posters becoming more & more silent too. ES was a big part of this, but there are others too & it was such a nice interesting/different place to come to. It's a shame!
    If you're that bored, go and watch a film or take a walk or how about interacting with real people, have a drink & a laugh.
    This kid wants the attention...so just walk away.

    Hi Kidzrevil, first of all, I thank you because you have put together a Samsung camera enthusiasts. I soon, when I'm done with my testing, I will begin a Kickstarter for the construction of the Speed Boster NX. At this time it is premature.

    It is made from an extendable pole (for painters), something like this, one T tube, one reduction tube and some rubber bands, costs me around 7 euros :D works like a charm with the NTG-2 :D

    I don't have a side-by-side comparison for you. The videos I saw, I didn't see much difference either. But since the hack was free I installed it. I notice much less noise in shadow areas and less or zero compression artifacts in things like movement over asphalt, leaves on trees on a windy day. etc. in other words fine details.
    The other thing with the NX1 is, like all cameras, it gives you much better results when you light your subjects properly (even when going for the "natural" light look). The NX1, to my eye, has a huge difference in quality between lit and unlit compared to other cameras where I could compare (C100, AF100). ON your subject under the tree, if you had used a reflector or a light, you'd see big jump in quality.
    Try either of the hacks first though, they're free. Try the bitrate around 160 or 180. I, along with others, haven't noticed a jump in quality above 180. You just get bigger files for your computer to choke on. The hack is reliable too, I've filmed 50 or so hours since installing without problems. If you have problem though, you might need faster SD card.

    Nope, I work as a producer. I don't even own anything digital from Fuji, I do however have about 100rolls of Fujicolor and 1000 feet of 16mm Fuji at all times.
    But I have shot with Fuji's in the past and really enjoy them. 
    Here on this forum I'm just having a conversation. That does not mean that I work for the company I'm currently discussing. Specially since I said I was likely NOT to get it at this point. People are always free to ignore my posts or suck an egg if they don't like them
    Kinda like Canon. My theory is that they are holding back a little because releasing overheating cameras and dodgy Log is bad business. Either do it right or not at all.

    Have you installed either of the bitrate hacks for the NX1? You can do a lot with the footage in post because of the high bitrate. Check out:
    https://vimeo.com/kidzrevil
    He's got a ton of higher bitrate NX1 footage posted. He uses filmconvert which gets rid of that digital look you're talking about. He posts a lot on this forum.
    I just got film convert myself and it really helps make the NX1 image look more pleasing. (nothing I can share yet though).

    Anyway, you don't understand what I mean, and this is probably a limit of me (as a writer) and of you, as someone ignoring the capabilities of a great camera. It's not 'my precious'. It's an outstanding piece of hardware, well ahead of its time that, like many other tech goods, was underrated and surpassed in sales by way inferior products, due to ignorance (i.e. lack of knowledge) of potential buyers, like those thinking that this xt2 is something 'new and great'.

    Well, since he is excited by xt2, and nx1 is better in almost every way, and has been out since nov 2014, my question was legit.
     
    And...calling lenses a weak point of nx, makes think you never tried them. Same for ergonomics...nx1 is miles better than any fuji there.

    No disrespect, but I think we just have different tastes in what looks "awesome" or "right." IMO, these are reference snapshots at best, maybe a nice reminder of a day you spent together to remember a person's face... nothing striking in terms of the tech of the 7D & 70-200 and frankly they could have been shot with any camera or phone. In terms of video, ANY camera Canon is offering right now under 1 grand wouldn't be even in the same ball park as the GX80. They're just too light on features and IQ for 2016. Maybe the 5DM4 will be available at a decent price... we'll see, but I have my doubts.

    It basically makes the battery grip essential for video shooting, so we should just perceive it as one item and add to the price accordingly.
