Just realized that F-Log footage basically just is nothing else than Rec2020 gamut with a LOG gamma - kinda similar to what HLG does.
Makes it perfectly compatible with ACES colorspace. Just need to apply a curve and have filmic looking footage with some great color.
 

Now I'm even less sure which camera to choose (BMP4K or X-T3)...
BMP4K footage doesn't work in ACES at all. The red channel oversaturates way too much and I don't think any IDT (CTL) developed by Blackmagic in the future can help - unless they change their color science...

I am really happy for Fujifilm, they are believing in their products, this is very encouraging for those who have to invest money on the future.
Let's not forget that it has an uninterrupted raw burst mode up to 30fps with a sensor cutout 1.25.
I will never buy Canon again because of their anti-user policy.
The Fujifilm has geared the right gear, we must support the builders who invest in innovation by moving the bar of the level and pushing the other brands to give more.
I will buy this camera without thinking twice and I will avoid the banal and obvious colors of Sony six-monthly cameras.

Samsung has joined forces with Fujifilm to develop sensor technology and says it will apply the new innovation to a large sensor.
Could the NX1 finally get a successor?

Here's a quick little spot I shot for a local restaurant's facebook cover yesterday, very quick turnaround because those Sammy colors are so gorgeous! This is basically right out of camera, only a tiny bit of tweaking on a few shots. Normal gamma, color sliders at 1.99, sharpness -10, contrast -4, saturation -2, on both the NX1 and NX500 (the only difference being the master black level on the NX1 was at 15 and obviously the NX500 doesn't have this setting). While this isn't showcasing of increased dynamic range per say, I do really like the way it came out looking.

No Dslr Canon, Nikon, Sony, Panasonic or others can make me feel the emotions of the Samsung NX1.
The Samsung should continue to produce their camera even without economic profit and only the camera body with lens mount Canon, Nikon, or other just to tell camera manufacturers and users "we exist and we are the best".

We already knew from the Raw photo conversion: Nx1 sensor by itself has extraordinary dynamic range, but it is hidden in dark area. I compare nx1 raw file conversion to Canon, Sony, Nikon, Olympus, Panas  - NX1 sensor needs exclusive workflow during conversion, because it has tremendous amount of data hidden in dark area…
Unfortunately, for video, we do not have such a chance to extract details from dark areas, but we have some tools to optimise shot for what we have.. I only play with 16-235 and BlackLevel: +3 +5. I prefer to keep standard picture profile in settings. Otherwise we are tending to loose beautiful colours created for us by Samsung ingeneers. And i do really love Samsung colours - simply why i moved to the system (hate millions of colour based problems i had in my live with ALL mentioned brands)… But now I’m pretty happy…  
One more, and simply the BEST solution: to use adequate lightning and keep ISO under 1600. For a night shots i have Samyang 24mm/1.4 + NXL, and I’m Really satisfied with: resolution and colours…

I see a lot of you have been taken in by this guy.
It's sad.
Thread closed.

To recap:
- A guy says that from 7 months he shoots NX1 Raw video with his Hack.
- the guy in question in these 7 months has never published a video shot in Raw on Youtube or Vimeo...
- at some point he declares that he will give proof of his statements, but not before the day "April 1" because he is German and has too many commitments with study, but he loses more time to answer many messages in English better than mine, rather that upload dng file he has on his computer for 7 months.
- after 2 improvable jpg images published, I ask to block the charlatan but I am called a cyberbully.
- the guy responds to my provocation and declares that he will publish the evidence to show that I'm wrong.
- no proof is published.
- I raise the stakes and I promise a NXL as a gift in exchange for irrefutable proof.
- the guy reappears and promises again that he will publish the tests after 24 hours.-
- for the second time no proof is published.
- in the private mail of the owner of the site arrives an email that promises again that will send evidence but that for 3 days without explaining why he can not respond to messages (no smartphone in the pocket of an experienced programmer?).
- the owner declares to block the guy from the playful and disrespectful behavior of the common sense and the rules of the forum.
- during all this time, a man with a cat on his back, one with a horse face, a man with a name like tax code and some other poor naive attacked me and defended the guy from the many promises but from the no proof and no tests and pray desperately the owner of the site to wait to receive a file full of shit for 1 April breakfast!

My friend right now I am in a 5 star luxury hotel to drink chapagne and eat caviar, my wife is here with me and she also tells me to be very happy and relaxed.
ps. The nx1 raw fools it' the last of my thoughts!

Exactly...
I'm not letting this fly.
He is not getting the attention he is seeking, off my back, that's for sure.
And I know 100% it is bullshit, and if by any chance it isn't, he's free to post the raw recording mod / firmware binaries anywhere he likes on the internet.

I got an email from Mr April Fools himself...
"As promised, I will send you (download link) the footage of my Proof of Concept on time (01. April 2018) for evaluation. It would be very nice, if you could share your opinion honestly with me - after testing the maleability and behaviour, even when you do heavy grading. Please consider, that I will be not online from 01.04. at about 14:00 European time up to 04.04. in the morning, so I can NOT answer YOUR questions. I will try to write down most settings and as you are a very experienced technician, you will not have any problems with handling, for sure."
Since it is pretty clear what's going on here, Arikhan has been banned from further participation in this forum, because he's a time waster.

@Arikhan you're making a very bad impression! Do not make promises you can not keep ...
To all those who agree with him I say this:
There are people who believe that the earth is flat, ok if you are willing to believe this without any proof, despite the evidence shows the opposite, ok you are free, but the problem is yours.

This is me waiting for the raw video file...

And I thought you do not want to provoke today ...

I have lately been experimenting with video capture settings on the NX1 and I have been exploring a method of increasing dynamic range which I don't think has yet been touched upon.
It's really no big deal and I am not making any great claims but it may be of interest to some so I produced a quick video How-To.
Take is as fun, I have done very little real-world testing and it may be of little use, but over to you.
 

uh oh

This is me waiting for the raw video file...

If I come to your balcony and sing a song, can I get a free NXL too ? Love your work Luca, I'm a big fan <3
