​Really praying for H265 support in Adobe for my NX1

I recently released a short film I shot entirely on a Canon T3i. I feel like the era of 1080p h.264 DSLR's are over but thought it'd be cool to share how they can still create great images.

That was incredible. Not just how it looked but the writing, music, acting, and so on was just suburb! Visually the cinematography was fantastic!! Love the use of colors and dark contrasted shadows as well. Seriously great job on this. 

Nice work!

Yea, quality work there all round.
Shows that script, acting, good lighting, camera movement and sound design are far more important than the next big camera spec that we all need.

The NX1 has great color, and I'd argue that for weddings, it's miles ahead of Canon. Have you tried AF video on a Canon lately?
i can put my NX1 on my gimbal, set it to face track AF and forget about it. It's downright creepy, but it actually tracks faces and keeps them in focus, fairly reliably. It's light weight, and on a carbon fiber gimbal, I can run around all day getting shots of a wedding that look like crane shots or dolly shots... In 4K. Or in slow motion. All this kit cost less than a camera from the C line of Canon, let alone Canon lenses.
 
theyre going to HAVE to canibalize at some point, all companies do. Why they have such a problem with that is another matter.

Someone should message Samsung and ask them to implement a 2:35:0 crop mode where it only records the image in that ratio. allowing the Camera to have better and more controlled rolling shutter results. Its the same with how the full 4k mode has less rolling shutter over UHD because its not scanning as much of the sensor do to a slight 1:85 crop to the top and bottom. Now image now much better it would be in 2:35?  Plus that aspect ratio works perfectly for a lot of filmmakers who'd be cropping their videos anyway.  I don't know how to submit suggestions to Samsung on future firmware features but I definitely think this would be a welcomed idea.

It looks to me like the blackmagic is terrible and is most likely going to be put out of business by samsung!  (kidding of course). I'd say the only downsides to the Panasonic is its lack of lens Change ability, and, sensor size (not very shallow DOF in this comparison). The rolling shutter on the nx1 is not that big of a deal when you look at all the additional downfalls of each camera. Some might disagree but I think the nx1 is the biggest bang for your buck. It's also my choice of upgrade. Blackmagics do create the most pleasing images but do to all the downsides like battery life, file sizes, low light performance, it just become the type of camera I'd rent if I need to shoot raw or something On a production with a bigger budget that can't quite afford reds.
