no that's not true. It "supports" the same way it did in the last version. You can import the clip in, but it doesn't import the audio at all, which blows.

well I couldn't let this go, so I did so of my own tests.  a 4k video with 120mbs bit rate is recompressed to 22mbs.This is by using the download button in vimeo, A 1440p with 120 is compressed to 12mbs.
Pathetic.I want to know what happens to my uploaded videos on their end. Exactly how it is compressed.
Results using vimeo's own recommendations gave even lower bitrates.
I also investigated what the default AUTO quality(you can no longed decide a default quality) always gave me a 720p version. WTF. I have a powerhouse computer and out of this world connection speeds. What do you need to get high auto quality?
And I'm a vimeo pro for god's sake. I pay them.
If there's something I'm not getting please enlighten. I'm ready to drop vimeo but I've spent a lot of time setting all my portfolios up. It's a major deal to move stuff to youtube.
 
 
 

Yea Mattias. I really loved having a camcorder when I started. It was so easy to use and so many features. Look at what we have to go through to make work audio, connectors, viewfinders, rigging, and my favorite, parfocal. Many of these unavailable or poorly realized until you get up to major bucks. All of it to get a superior image to cheaper camcorders.
I would love an under 5k camcorder that was ready to go out of the box and had a great image. Good to see if the jvc has it. Whatever the features it has to have a great image.

I just went through severAL layers of vimeo support about the new auto quality playback. I am a vimeo pro and want to be able to set the default quality myself. They basically said they will now never support that and offered a refund. I will leave them once I move stuff over to youtube.
I hate youtube because of the ads. But youtube has 15 times vimeo viewers. And I won't have to pay.
 

I think what's trying to be said about some lens is that the sensor can resolve more detail than the lens can show. In a way you could say the camera is 4k and the lens can only show 2k detail. Hence the lenses that cannot show as much detail will make the final image softer. So, it's not really an old lens thing, I'm sure that there are older lenses that can resolve 4k and newer lenses that cannot.
And just because a lens is 2k(or whatever you want to call it) does not mean it's a bad combo with the nx1, it'll just look not as crisp and sharp, which could be a very good thing, it that's what the look you're going after.

Aside from lowlight- and frankly you can compensate for that with fast lenses, I think the nx1 image is better.
I have no plans to get a a6300 because if ýou have an nx1 and don't need something specfic that the sony has, there's no reason to.
The examples I've seen don't do much for me. The test in my hands is always how well the image grades.
Can I get it to where I want it, even when the footage isn't perfectly lit and all that? The nx1's 4k footage is pretty flexible, it's not raw, but you can push it around. I have no issue getting "cinematic" looking footage out of the color grade.
The only thing I still struggle with is some of the darker areas can lose detail, a black level thing. I've been shooting mostly under the colorless slate gray swedish winter skies and frankly if I can get a pleasing image out of that swill, sunlight should be easy.
The nx1's detail surprises me every time. It is too sharp, but that's way better than not being sharp enough. It's fixable. I've shot with both samsung and manual lenses, although nothing older, and the image is always stunning.

I have the two s lens. I think the 16-50s is a good lens, but I find the 50-150s lens to be better in every way. It's really hard to get a good zoom pull with the 16.50s it sticks in a couple of places. It also is pretty underwhelming with its boken even at f2.0. It's sharp and resolves absurd amounts of detail.
The 50-150s is superior across the board. Zooms easier, better optics at all zoom levels, I think it's a lens that when paired when the nx1, is very hard to match from any camera lens combo. It's what the nx1 was built for. This lens.
I have the 30mm samsung pancake and I would rate it as very useable and sharp, but it doesn't have much character or wow factor. But it's cheap and tiny and good for travel and gimbals and such.
I'll be using the Samyang t1.5 vdslr 85mm more and more. It amazes me every time I've used it. I bought this in canon eos mount and use it with adapters on my BMCC as well. I love the boken and it can of course get down to a paper thin focus plane. This will probably be my go to portrait lens for both cameras. It's suprisingly cheap for the quality.
I definitely would keep any nx mount purchases down to a couple of lens with all the automatic stuff. (since they be useless with other mounts) Any other lens I get will be canon or nikon with adpaters

The fact it doesn't take photos means it is not a dslr killer.
He also has 0 understanding how to properly use a gh4 or an nx1.
His main sponser is canon. All these canon guys are the same, trying
to push every filmmaker over into the overpriced and underperforming Canon Cinema Series.
There are just too many other better cheaper options if you're looking for a pure film camera especially for that price.

I point you to some of  my thoughts:

I don't have a gh4 so I don't know if the difference is big enough to justify a jump.
But the Nx1 is dirt cheap right now and here in europe I get the sense camera shops just
want to unload the gear, so you may be able to talk them down. Many camera stores have used samsung gear as well.
As I point out, I got my nx1 and both S lens for less than the cost of an A7rII body.
The detail with an Nx1 is just insane. I find the footage relatively easy to work with and get cinematic results. I would never buy
a camera just because its resale might be good. I want to use it for a long time. If I do ever sell it, I will sell the entire system.
If I was to advise I would get just the samsung lens your shooting would require for all the auto focus and the rest. Fill in with
canon or Nikon manual lens with  adapters. MF works brilliantly on the nx1.
