Not quite clear what your asking. If you are talking about files to edit with? If that is the case: If you have the horsepower in your system it's always better to edit with native files if you can. Are you asking about archiving? I would suggest the industry standard ProRes or DNxHR for that.

I vote NX1 because I love the image, and they are on fire sale right now. I personally love having a viewfinder on camera for doc work, so the GH4 and NX1 fit that bill. The 2.5K is great for narrative, and has some good used prices online, but I would hesitate using it for documentary work unless you rig it extensively.

Dammit  Yup, time to sell my 50-150. Keeping the camera and buying some spare batteries, thank god it also runs off USB power so It's still usable when the batteries die.

Edit: Keeping the camera itself until it dies for video, but no longer can I rely on it as one of my primary photo cameras.

Like most cameras, I don't think we can make a call on this until FLAT files from the camera go out in the wild. On paper the D750 is pretty poor spec wise, but in practice it has a great image that is easily graded. Compare that to the 10-bit 4:2:2 issues on the FS5 codec, and you really can't compare these cams unless you see tests from professionals.

Even with the crop on the D500, if it gives me the D750's DR and color in 4K with good RS performance I will buy it. Hell just give me excellent 1080p and I'll still buy it for the still capability.

Instabuy. I'm a nikon still shooter and will be getting this.

Auto-ND makes this a godsend for Doc work. Fix the codec problems Sony and I will buy this!

You can get a broken AF version of the 28-70 if you look around. It's a heavy lens but optically excellent.

Marco.

1) I was clearly describing the 1080p in my post. That is the question I was answering.

2) In your shots, especially the cute baby, there is a huge amount of compression evident in the shadows. Especially the skin tone on the arm and on the right side of his face in shadow. For web at 720p it will look fine, but not even close to good in 4K.

I love my NX1, but lowlight is a significant weakness.

Bang for buck the best image your can buy. Doesn't matter if Samsung goes out of the camera business, the NX1 will still be a great piece of kit.

I have the comparison footage, unfortunately can't put it up till next week(out of state). I will say the colors are the same excellent quality and the rolling shutter performance is astounding, as in better than any camera aside from Global Shutter good.

It has two problems 1)Moire: Thankfully not unusably bad, there is no color banding around the moire. But it is there. 2) Bad low light performance, you don't want to go past 1800 ISO or the footage turns to mush.

Nice little short, great work.

Under the Gamma selection select Gamma C or Gamma DR and push up on the rear scroll wheel. this brings up saturation, sharpness, color balance, contrast, and a overall color cast adjustment options.

You can also modify these options under standard Gamma by going to the picture profile menu under photos and editing them as well.

I had a A6000 for a long while and I was tempted to pick it up again after the codec upgrade. Still might. It actually had a great image, minimal rolling shutter, good detail, and I'm sure will be even better with the new codec. If only it had a microphone input on it, I probably would not have sold it.

Not mine, but a wedding shoot on the NX1.

1) 4K center of sensor readout, for a reduced rolling shutter option for 4K. Hell this is technically already in the camera with DIS, just keep that crop!

2) Samsung's own flat profile. No messing around to find the ideal, have the engineers make one. No noise reduction in this mode. 

Agree with your macroblocking, but I think a Samsung created flat profile it would fix the issue. Also wouldn't mind the 200 bitrate option for only certain cards. 

Excellent stuff from the default profile. Have used that extensively with documentary work. Here's another go from me for a usable FLATish profile that doesn't break when grading.   

Very interested in these. Are the front filter threads removable or permanently attached? Glass is still clean?

This is completely false, using a GPU with CUDA takes the playback away from the CPU and puts it on the GPU. Most modern GPU have hardware H264 decode.

This is especially the case with H265 from the NX1 with the GTX960, as it uses the onboard H265 decoder on the card for playback.

Mountneer I highly recommend the GTX 960 4gb version. I use it and it plays back 4K NX1 H265 files in realtime with lumetri grades on the clips. You'll love it!

Also, ignore those who say a GPU will not be as big a gain as CPU, if you get a CUDA gpu Premiere transfers the processes usually handled by the CPU to the GPU, it is a significant performance increase.

I'm not saying a word about the plot...but I really did not enjoy the majority of The Force Awakens. It has some great things in it, but the lows are really REALLY bad in my opinion. Lower your expectations people, trust me.

I've very excited. I'm a theater projectionist so I get to test it Wednesday morning. Seeing it in 2D first, then 3D, then at our opening on Thursday night. Then a week later in the new IMAX 4K lazer projection system. 

Hoping for a great film, expecting a decent one that falls below people's expectations. But I think the film is less a film and more a cultural event. Connects people of all ages. I've had 60+ year olds who have bought tickets in advance that have said this is the first film they've seen in theaters in over 10 years. Over 2000 tickets presold. This thing is a monster. 

You have to use fast color corrector and raise the black to 16 to get the same result as the conversion to prores.

Fantastic grade, will have to try out your workflow.
