Got my hands on the Samsung NX1 so I thought Id do a quick simple comparison between my T3i and the NX1 just for kicks. I also show off its overall 4k quality and the on board sound coming from

I would just like to add that this camera is absolutely amazing! 
I filmed this whole video on the Rokinon 24mm f1.4 Canon mount with the Fotasy EF to NX adapter.  
I graded the clips with Magic Bullet looks within Sony Vegas Pro 13.

I would like to note all the color banding your seeing in this test is caused by turning the in camera noise reduction all the way up and then compressing it in conversion. So this is a worste case scenario.

Hi I just got my NX1 yesterday! I'm using iFFmpeg 5.4 decoding to prores. What's optimal setting to exporting in prores? I've test all the different settings in the prores drop-down menu but I got the exact same file size regardless the setting I selected. Did I miss anything? Any input will be much appreciated! Can anyone share their iFFmpeg workflow please? Thanks!

I like NX1's colour even though I only got it for a week compare to Panasonics (used since GH1),  as I can always rent the A7s but not GH4/NX1 around my area so that's another reason why I bought NX1.

You should suggest samsung adds a 2.5k mode with the options of 60fps, 30fps, and 24 fps to the NX1 and also a 1:1 crop mode like on the nx500. Both those options would help with rolling shutter and having more detailed 60fps would come in handy as well!  

You'll be happy with switch. The NX will give you pleasing punchy warm colors out of the box, without the need for a color wheel session to make the footage presentable.

NX500 is really a 2.5K camera at heart, if you think like that it is not too bad.  Luckily I bought NX1 instead of waiting for NX500, I will be keeping that little LX100 for a lot longer now lol.

I'd just get the NX1. It ultimately comes down to what you need and if what you need is good color/skin tones then the NX1 is the camera you'll want. If you need extreme low light the the A7s is for you. So if you can pass on the low light then the NX1 is definitely a great replacement. Plus you get internal 4k! 

Go with the nx1

​Really praying for H265 support in Adobe for my NX1

If you want/need a new camera I couldn't think of a any other camera to get! 

Canon releasing an 8k DSLR for $600 that can shoot 240 FPS? Maybe then they will take the market back.. 

Samsung nx1

I guess there is no way to completely turn off the display. That'd be a nice addition from samsung.

I completely disagree with MattH & Ebrahim Saadawi. 
If you have to read less lines of the sensor to produce a frame, the rolling shutter will be better. Period.
As for the feature, it would be a welcome one. The setting should be in industry standard DCI scope format: 4096×1716
 
EDIT: I am extremely mistaken in this assumption, apologies to MattH.

Still hoping that this mode gets offered for nx1 as an alternative, as well. A sort of digital zooming (and perhaps reducing rs).

For me, the evf button is totally disabled both during recording AND during video standby. If you want to change that, you have to be in still capture mode.
 
If there is a way to have it working during video, please let us know.

They actually talked about lossy compressed raw, not lesser mp raw...

All Blackmagics are really, very nice cameras - in this case too!
- The NX1 is the big surprise of the last months... - A exceptionally cinematic (4k) Camera out of the box... (in my opinion).

I´ am filming with 5d MLraw and the NX1 is the only camera I would like to use in addition... if I would have the money:)
 
 

I think that the nx1 has currently the most powerful hw in a camera. It could do all this and much more, if programmed well. I can only try to imagine what it could happen if the guys of magic lantern had access to the source code...
 
Imo it could do 6.5k at 24fps.

Wow!   There are a few other things which would be really cool.
1) Allow peaking to be "ON/OFF/Always" so that we get peaking without zooming in (Sony style)
2) For the intervalometer, allow extended exposures beyond 30 sec for astrophotography.  Arbitrary is best.  But 60 / 90 / 120 / 180 / 240 / 300 sec would be golden
 

Could we maybe get back on track here?

I'm interested to see how the video quality of pixel-for-pixel sampling compares to full sensor downsampling in terms of moire, aliasing, color, DR, and rolling shutter. We've never seen the same sensor utilized both ways like this--it might provide some cool insights into the pros and cons of each method. 

However, like any camera, I'll be waiting until there's a used market and established tests before I put down money on it. Looking forward to Andrew's review!

haha, if all these rumours come true, the big boys are gonna freak out
compressed raw, 240fps at 1080p, crop mode along with all the current features... Boom

Crop factor makes the NX500 a no go for me, was considering it as a gimbal cam, not anymore. Though as a new NX1 owner, I hope its added via firmware to my camera so my 16-50 gets a little extra reach.
