Getting very tired of reading this over and over and over

I second that. 

not too shabby! the video was shot with the X-T2. looks pretty damn good to me. 

@Kisaha you are right! it can't be 4 years... definitely feels like I had it for that long. the AF and the touch screen is amazing on the NX1. and the 16-50S is an outstanding piece of glass that is built like no other. it's a shame that they didn't make an NX2. it would have been something. 

I used the NX1 for about 4 years and did numerous paid gigs with it. the footage from the camera looks top-notch when it's lit well. but I really got frustrated when I had to shoot in situations (run and gun) where the lighting wasn't ideal. the footage starts looking really muddy. and with the type of work I do, I needed a camera that can handle above ISO 800/1600.

to me the X-T2 is a great replacement; great skin tones, internal 4K on an SD card, and the price is not too high. but I do miss how the NX1 feels in your hands. that was perfection. 

a short doc shot with the X-T2. looks great.

Hey, guys, any word on the sharpness problem with the hack? I can't shoot video without an ND filter. Anything above F3.5 is too sharp. It's a pain in the ass. (Any tricks around it?)

i use Filmcovert. you can add softness (i do about 20%) and also some film grain (30%). looks beautiful.

awesome! is that with the hack?

The motion cadence in that video is the best I've ever seen. 

@DaveAltizer i received some more pics of the listing. the camera is a bit banged up. still a great deal. i'm too chicken s%#t to make the purchase...

sweeeeeet!

seems like it. lame...

downloading it now...

voted for the NX1!

Zeiss Milvus 35mm f2 on Samsung NX1

4k downscaled to 1080

nice shot! so the 35mm on an nx1 is closer to a 50mm ish?

in for the donation.

@MonGe El GenioMusical same thing happened to me too. what worked for me was that i went to adobe.com, signed in, and then went to the Premier page and downloaded it from there.

I've got a small arsenal of L glass left over from my 5DM2 but I'm going to need something wider in moving towards the C100's 35mm sensor. Three lenses are on the table: Canon 16-35mm f4 IS, Sigma 18-35mm f1.8, Canon 17-55m f2.8. From everything I've come across, the Sigma takes the cake in sharpness. But then again it's missing the IS. Does anyone recommend one over another and why? My feeling is that I could get away with no IS for run and gun on the Sigma as it is still a fairly wide lens and that can help level the bumps out.

hi User - (i usually shoot run and gun) the problem with the sigma 18-35mm is that it's a pretty heavy lens. it gets heavy after shooting for a bit, and i consider myself a really steady shooter. i really like the 24 to 70, 2.8 despite not having an IS. 

thank you everyone for your comments.

this was my first time using the NX1 for a hired job and it did pretty well. using a canon lens and trusting the peaking for focus was a bit challenging. i think next time i will use the Samsung 16 to 50 S lens. the tracking focus on that thing is awesome. also, the IS.

initially i was using the C100 Mark ll and sparingly using the NX1 for the slow mo stuff. since i was a one man crew and shooting in a tight space, carrying two cameras around my neck was too much. so i decided to just shoot on the NX1 in UHD 24 and 120 slowmo. i'm pretty happy with how it came out, despite some banding in some of the footage. the footage of the show at the end is shot on the c100.

here is one of the three i did. 

thanks for the comments and advice @Mattias Burling @Nick Hughes. 

my set up was the canon 24 to 70mm/2.8 lens, so wide open. i was shooting 125 frames for slow motion, hence the need for more light. might have a little LED light on the camera for a bit of fill next time.

Shot some run and gun stuff with available light. As mentioned, ISO 1600 is on the edge of pushing it's limit. Will the lowlight capabilities be able to improve through a firmware update or is this the limit on this sensor?

so i figured it out. this happens when i change the Luminance Level to 16-235. it looks fine on the LCD/EVF when recording, but when i play it back on from the camera, the images is a bit washed out.

looks great! congratulations. 

what did you do for audio?

the update popped up on my camera. it's taking a bit though...

not sure how i can post samples of it since i don't know how i can show what i see on the screen. i tried taking a photo of it from my iPhone, but it looks weird. i grabbed a still from the clip and tweaked the contrast to make one of the images close to what it will look like from the LCD screen.

@fuzzynormal i did not shoot any bright lights. 

i called Samsung and since it's still under their warranty, i will be sending the camera for repair, which i hoped to avoid.

thanks for the reply Sekhar. i don't think it's the converter since it does the same thing when i shoot with the Samsung S 16 to 50mm lens. i have a Mac and unfortunately Potplayer seems like it's only for PCs.
