Think about what they could do with nx1!

Think about what they could do with nx1!

Some the feedback I saw for the A7RII is the 4K video IQ is not that great, even worse than the NX1. Will A7SII produce better 4K IQ than A7RII?

its the next major update that will support h265 - later this year
The title of the topic is misleading I think :/

Is there a SUPER 35 MODE?
(FF is cool but sometimes the "35 look" feels more cinematic for some of us)

Rolling shutter in 4K has to be reeeally nasty -> shot at 40 seconds.

Just you cause it doesn't

Neither announcement was "shocking." As usual SAR clickbait.

Massive resolution photos...which is a big bonus if you're looking for an all in one camera.

Is it just me or does the 120fps look like crap?

All this despite Sony Alpha Rumors saying a few days ago that there is almost zero chance of an A7Sii announcement

Price: €3,400

Transcoding will soon be a thing of the past with the new H265 support from Adobe. The banding on the skies, for me, thats the worst part, but I guess without transcoding it should be fixed. This camera is a serial killer IMO, destroys everything within the price range, and above, its a gorgeous little camera ! I still havent used it for photography yet, since im currently waiting for the arrival of my 30mm f2.
 
Great tests  

Am I the only one who thinks that those high frame rates are useless?? The bitrate is so low... The videos always look like a crappy 360p video, full of artifacts!

Iphone 6s is anounced now,
4k video
12mp camera
and the most important feature
its comes in golden pink

Congrats on landing the budget for the doc! What's your project like? The a7 pair will work better for low light, but NX1 will definitely give you better colors (e.g., for nature work).

IBC is this weekend, they will for sure announce it there

It is one thing to support a codec, and another to provide a smooth editing experience. 
Hopefully with the proper hardware support transcoding will not be necessary. 

Now its good time to buy NX1!

dont forget that h.265 will be supported in premiere this weekend

Announced this week at IBC. 
Good for NX1 users..

Boy I sure wish the NX1 sent 10bit over HDMI, would have made a hell of a combo with this puppy.

The sensor in nx1 if far more capable. But nx1 has not a native vlog profile. The hope is that samsung releases it soon. And for free, as done till now with new features.

Its an amazing frame grab! The original must be good enough to be used as a picture, im sure.
Its funny to see the "specialists" thinking that the banding in the bokeh areas are from the original video. Not even a cheap cellphone creates that much artifacts.
 
But hey, thats the internet. People can only see the bad things! I would love to see some videos shot by those guys. I bet that they are perfect.
 
To the OP - Thats a beatiful looking image. The bokeh is also very smooth. Make sure to post a video next time. I bet it looks nice too!

I really enjoy the NX1's colors as well. That skin is beautiful. Do you mind sharing your camera settings and some info on your color correction? 

Nearly identical, actually. The biggest difference is in depth, due to the GH4's deeper, more comfortable grip.

That's an outright lie. The Blackmagic cameras use active thermoelectric cooling to keep their sensors at peak performance and prevent stopping for cool-downs. In fact, this is one of the reasons they're such battery hogs--that cooling system sucks a ton of juice. 
 
Clearly a smart engineering decision, since neither camera has heat management issues. That stabilization sucks compared to Olympus'--and even most lens-based stabilizers--anyway. Those cameras are also less than half the price of the A7R II. 
 
The E-M5 II has a 2.7mm increase in width, 3.9mm decrease in depth from the original. Clearly the articulating screen isn't adding bulk. 
 
No, we're criticizing them because they can't match their competitors in basic areas, like bit depth, heat management, AF performance, battery life, stills compression, color science, IS performance, and general ergonomics. Last time I checked, falling behind your competitors was a valid reason to criticize a company. 
 
It's not my job to think about the physics of it. It's theirs. And if they can't think about it long enough to come up with solutions instead of ways to buff their spec sheets, they're going to get this reaction next time, too. 
 
Yes, we are complaining that the headline feature of the camera (4K internal) craps out in 15 minutes. Too bad they didn't manage to pack in a proper heatsink, an intuitive UI, or a battery that lasts more than an hour and a half.
