As to reliability, been using the camera for a documentary as a B-cam and occasionally A-cam. Don't want to jinx it it but so far no issues, it's performed consistently well at 4K for full 30 minute clips back to back. I have not seen any reports of failed recordings/unpredictable issues popping up. As neosushi says above they have also been on the ball so far for firmware, above and beyond even high end cameras. 
Now is it as reliable as a C100 recording to 2 cards? No it's not, but if you need that level of backup you can get those cameras which I think fall in a whole other category.
I don't think the Samsung is any less reliable than a 5D Mark 3 or GH4.

An NX500 with the same video specs as the NX1 at half the price was a bit too good to be true. This sounds like a reasonable way to differentiate the models. Now there is really nice vs really really nice.

Maybe they could then make the NX1 have 4k cropped 120 slowmo if it is more easy to do that would be nice.

On a side note, I really really hope they add this to nx1 as well, as a selectable alternative to full readout and downscale.

Steve, k I agree, but it would be nice to get the limit I set, for when I decide to shoot with auto iso. Not a higher iso!

oh -  and another thing. I would like smoother (slower ?) transitions between iso shifts when using auto iso. As things are now iso shifts are not very smooth and somewhat distracting.
I hope that Andrew (and others) with the right connections at Samsung, will pass this blog post on.
Thanks.

That would suck for taking photos with a on camera flash it would be just off center to give a shadow on walls behind the subject that is the point of having the flash right over the lens to stop any shadows. With this set up even someones own hair would show a shadow then on their own face.
 

I think its funny that people with high priced cameras look at the NX1 as a toy or a joke but the 4k image quality is as good and better then a lot of other cameras out that cost much more.
I would love to see the side by side shots from the FS7 and NX1 i would bet the NX1 is sharper and shows more details that's what i see from all the FS7 videos i have seen.
I would think from low iso settings up to 1600 the NX1 has the better image that takes much less work to get the colors right from the camera and past 1600 the FS7 starts to take over. I would think they are both very equal on how they handle highlights with maybe the FS7 being a little but not a lot better. 
But when you can buy 5 NX1 cameras for the price of one FS7 you sure could use all the extra cash for other things.
Plus the NX1 has many features no other DSLR or ENG style camera has
If anything when they ever have a NX2 out i think that will probably be a dream come true if they can up the iso to match the A7s it all ready beats it for image details, features, video auto focus, 4k recording and price. 

What about 2.5k? Would be great for:
 
1) 1080p downscaling in pp
2) stabilization in pp
3) rolling shutter
 
 

If only magic lantern ppl started to work on a nx1....they could even unlock the rumored 6.5k video...great for taking stills from it, or the 240fps at 1080p.
