The downsides on the NX1 are related to the new codec, those "problems" will soon go away, leaving me with a superior camera on the long run.

Hi everyone,

I'm a videographer, most of my work is currently in weddings and such, and will be upgrading to the NX1 in the upcoming month. I was at first inclined to purchasing the GH4, but now realize the NX1 is a much better choice, and the best video camera for the price. Anyway, the problem is, it is currently very hard to find stores that have it in stock in Europe. I live in Portugal, and the camera wasnt even released here yet. I want to avoid using Amazon.co.uk because of the current price ( £1,260.15 - 1,760.31 € Body Only ) but I cant seem to find it elsewhere...

Where do you guys recommend I get the camera ?! Im looking for the cheapest price online, with delivery to Portugal.

We should look into processor related improvements, since it has one of the best processors around, what I think the improvements can realistically be  :

• Reduced Rolling Shutter
• Highter 4K Framerates
• 6.5K video
• Choice between 264 and 265
• RAW HD
• True Log profile

I still dont have my NX1, but will be buying mine in may, and boy, this camera is getting more and more amazing.

6K video !

Some of those look cool, but I prefer the look of the Impulz ones, so far the best i've seen.

The article doesnt really specify :

I was also able to get the NX1 very close to the C300’s Canon LOG for dynamic range, by tweaking the new Gamma DR and Master Black Level settings. If the C300 can do 12 stops the NX1 can do 11.5. In fact as you can see from the frames below (click to enlarge) the NX1 can go as flat and colour looks almost identical, like Samsung had Canon in mind when they calibrated the image processor. The C300 has a tiny bit more highlight headroom – but it’s less than half a stop. Switch to Rec.709 and the NX1 gives arguably the more pleasing, punchy tones out of the box.

Eiterway I highly doubt it would produce a higher quality result that would justify + 10k$.

I really cant understand why overspend on C300, when the Nx1 produces better results (http://www.eoshd.com/2015/02/samsung-nx1-vs-canon-c300/).

Just because you have loads of money, doesnt mean you should make stupid decisions, figure out whats the best price/performance for what you need and get it, dont just follow the trends.
