I am definitely not one to stoke the rumor fires, and I really don't want to get my hopes up for something that doesn't end up happening, but has anyone seen this video about an announcement on March 15? In my mind it can only point to a camera. but hey, maybe it's just a cell phone that can by synced to a flash.

I shoot vertical video when creating content that is specifically aimed for social media (either instagram or Facebook).

I did a series of videos for the San Diego Chargers, and after doing a couple square videos and traditional widescreen 16:9, the square ones got more interaction on Facebook.

I find this to be the same case on Instagram, where a vertical video takes up more real estate in the feed and thus demands more attention. For Instagram feeds though, video can only be 5:4 not 16:9. or you can go square of course.

Several people I follow have gone from shooting standard youtube vlogs to shooting just for Instagram stories, and walk around with vlog setups but have the camera vertical (https://www.instagram.com/jessedriftwood/ probably being the best example). I've shot a couple videos like this while on trips and some commissioned work for music festivals, but it's just kind of a bummer that all the footage can only be used for one specific purpose. It obviously looks awful if you try to share vertical video anywhere on the web.

Same as the others, I'm either using the daylight preset or custom WB. Really wished Kelvin worked.

I previously used a gray card as well, but i recently bought a white balance disc that you shoot through similar to an Expodisc. It works well, it's just obnoxious to carry around. 

I need to start using Matthew's technique and shooting a white card so I can make sure it's nailed when editing.

Wow. dick move, Samsung.

I've been curious about this too. 

I currently use the Lens Turbo ii and while it's generally pretty good, it does have some issues with blue/purple flaring in backlit situations. Reading through the reviews of the Viltrox EF - sony E speedbooster, I can't really find anyone reliably describing the quality. 

For $150 or so, I'll probably end up getting it to test out so I can use the Sigma 35mm Art on the Gh5.

I use the Lexar 2000x 300MB/s UHS-II and the Sandisk Extreme Pro 95 MB/s which also works just fine for me. Plus it's cheaper.

I generally shoot at 160 Mbit/s or 140 with audio and it is completely reliable. I'll leave it going for 30-40 minutes during wedding ceremonies.

I was having a lot of issues with macro blocking in shadows and backgrounds with uniform color with the standard bitrates, but the hack completely eliminated those problems for me.

The bitrate hack + Luca's NX-L redeemed the NX1 for me. I've been shooting it in tandem with the GH5 lately and the footage is actually matching pretty well for me.

It's shot in 3:2. 

I'll test it out with video and get some examples up.

I would definitely love it if it worked, cause the 30mm 1.4 is literally half the size of my rokinon 35mm 1.4

I am very honored by Andrew's review.
Some fast Aps-c lenses could work on NX-L without vignetting.
I think the Sigma 30mm 1.4 Art lens could work fine, getting a nearly 35mm 1.4! But I did not test it.

I just bought the Sigma 30mm 1.4 to use with a speedbooster on my GH5.

It works great on that, but I'm afraid the vignette is too heavy when used with the NX-L.

You can crop in in post but I find it's too much hassle to be doing that for every shot.

This shot is with no vignette correction. Even set at 100 in Lightroom, it's unfortunately still present.
