If I come to your balcony and sing a song, can I get a free NXL too ? Love your work Luca, I'm a big fan <3

Probably because they've had RAW on the NX1 as far back as when they were building the pyramids.

Wondering how much process power would require 12bits or even 10bits H265... I could definitely work with that !

Magic Lantern 5k/4k/3k RAW Test Shots :
Not my footage but I'm excited for you guys who have this camera right now. This is pretty exciting times for you owners.

After abandoning the NX community just after releasing two news cameras (NX1 & NX500) and pro lenses, I don't see anyone in their right mind investing any of their money again if Samsung ever had the idea of coming back to take more of our money. Camera market is not a market where you can just come and go. Reputation is (almost) everything. Samsung were given the benefit of the doubt but most professionnals did not switch from their Canons or Nikons to Samsung because of their lack of history in the PRO camera business. Mark my words - which are just my analysis and don't come from anywhere else - if Samsung ever comes back to the camera industry (which I HIGHLY DOUBT THEY EVER WILL) it would be a total economic failure. Because no one will trust them again - especially people who will own by then GHx and Sony A7R x cameras-.

Personally I'll be waiting to see more footage out of this camera. 
Because I'm still addicted and in love with my NX1. I work in stills and movies and it's very strong in both. I love how my clients are always blown out by the colors and details from the image straight out of the camera.
And also because I have never been a big fan of GHx color science or noise management (I find the image never clean enough for my taste).
I don't really like speed boosters because you usually lose some AF speed, and also it's expensive. First low light tests I have seen haven't blown me away. I'm not saying I'll never be interested in the GH5, but I have never been a camera "early adopter".

As long as companies such as panasonic, canon and sony will try to protect their higher end cameras by not including RAW, I think the NX1 will have a say, because of its ergonomics, 6k sensor, speed, autofocus, and also its community !

I wouldn't worry Juxx, looks like Luca is still busily at work, thank goodness.

Very easy in that rare case where it's relevant, to diminish the DR of the scene, using a couple of lights...as it is 11 to 12 stops are quite respectable
Actually if you were shooting a Hollywood feature film the  DR would be more than adequate, as you would have lights and Grips and Gaffers...but they would also insist that you shoot on an Alexa! ...and I agree with you about DR...

Thank you for creating these Andrew, I love them! This was shot last weekend on the 1DX mark ii with the Cinema2 profile:

" there been words that Samsung is once again putting focus on their mirrorless cameras."
Thanks for your answer SMGJohn. I understand that it is not a fact, but I would like to know if you could give your source for the "words". If its a rumor I am still interested in the source of the rumor is all.
"I am just repeating what I have heard" - so I am just asking : where have you heard  ? 
Thanks !

The rumor mill keeps turning.
I call BS as well.

GH4 4K files dont have that big a bandwith compared to prores for example - that would put more stress on the hard drives.

However since they are encoded in H264, they require a lot of cpu power.

the RS in 4k without DIS is extrem for handheld.
manual focus is fly by wire and very long.the touch focus is more intuitiv, also for focus pulls...

Just adding a bit of my experience with NX1 : 
If you work on Premiere Pro you don't need to convert NX1 footage.
Also if you find the footage too sharp, which is also my case, you can dial the sharpness down all the way to -10. But also use either a slight gaussian blur (+5 in Premiere Pro) or add a bit of softness in Filmconvert. 
 
 

My guess is that its not shipping and they have issues. Its like Blackmagic but as a smaller company they need even more time. Hope they make it through.

What about the codec ?? That seems a lot of information to fit in a H264 file... ? 422 10 bit 4K 60p...

Personally I switched from the 5Dmkiii with Raw to the 1DC. And honestly I was a bit underwhelmed. Its a nice image but not that much better than the ML Raw. And not enough imo to justify the extra cost and lack of video features. Not a fan of the ergonomics either, comfortable grip but annoyingly tall imo.
But... I didnt use any of them for stills. If you shoot alot of stills the 1DC is a monster just like the 1DX. 
I also had the a7sii but again, rather have a 5D. Would choose the 1DC over the a7sii as well.

10-bit is only available in camera up to 4K 30p. Perhaps 10-bit 60p for external recording?
