    markr041 got a reaction from Mat Mayer in Shooting with the Samsung NX500 - a pocket 4K cinema camera   
    ​Nothing you said is about the "quality" of the video not being "delivered." The 4K video is superb, and the firmware update upped the H265 bitrate to almost the same as the NX1 (70 Mbps, again, HEVC)). The crop in 4K can be advantageous - the 16-50mm kit lens gives you a compact 135mm telephoto at the long end - absolutely great for candids of people;  the 200mm zoom gives you a 525mm telephoto. The form factor is great, and AMOLED lcd enables easy viewing even in bright sun - you have to try it to know this. There is no compromise in video quality after the latest firmware update. I do miss the focus peaking in video mode.

    ​Yes. Did you read the first post?: "Remains in Stand By mode after recording." Just push that button, and you are in video mode until you turn off the camera or push the shutter button (not the video record button). So, a dedicated video mode that still enables you to use the PASM dial - better than the GH3, GH4. You can stay in video mode the whole session shooting clip after clip. It's now a real video camera.

    "An LCD protector with the crop lines can easily fix the silly lack of in camera crop lines."
    This is complete nonsense. Again, you press a button to get into video mode (once). You then see the crop mode on the lcd if you have set the video to shoot UHD. No need for an LCD protector, or any more complaints on this non-issue.

    ​Sorry, I meant the Samsung NX500 - costs the SAME, and has all the features of the EOS M3, except the soft video, and it has a 28 MP sensor and a 4K option. There is a transcode...

    markr041 got a reaction from Beritar in Adobe updates - Still no H265   
    ​It is not a "niche" codec, it is a new codec. It is in fact the new standard. It is used by Netflix, for example. Samsung is just the first to use it in a camera (maybe there are others). Cyberlink added support months ago, and the specs have been available for a long time. Obviously this is Adobe's fault that they do not now support this new standard.
    As for adding H264 to the camera - the bitrates would have to be gigantic to achieve the same quality as the HEVC 80Mbps (more than 200 Mbps). That is the point. That bitrate would be too much for the card slot and may also cause overheating. Or we could settle for mediocre lower H264 bitrates just so we can use Adobe?
