Next Monday a friend of mine will shoot exactly the same scene with a 8K RED, edit the footage on a 4K timeline and then...we will compare: NX1 4K RAW vs RED RAW...
I am very curious...

@Attila Bakos You are completely wrong - more on monday
@Mokara You are on the right way - that were my original thoughts too, one year ago. Very logical and structured way of thinking AND not bad maths...more on monday...
Sorry, no much time to spend on this but just got an alert on an article mentionning the NX1...Normally I'm tired to read the SAR-bullshit but now one of the Sony plastic garbage collectors is laughing on Samsung...
Quote:
/// Samsung has yet no goal to make APS-C or FF Image Sensor for the photo industry. Their focus is on smartphone cameras and automotive industry. Still, their NX1 camera was ahead of times in many areas, pity they did quit. Oh and by the way, back when they had their NX system Samsung was bragging that they would become number 1 in the camera mirrorless camera industry. It didn’t work out well. ///
Comparing facts & the economical power of Samsung vs Sony could help avoiding such statements...But there are guys out there who refuse any intellectual challenge...Powered by Sony plastic brain - without any backside mental illumination...Innovative but dumb statements...
DISCLAIMER: It's all about self criticism. I've buyed this garbage too, but I've learned out of it...

Nope - No improved RS
No sound (at the moment) 
No 30/48/50/60 or higher fps 
Same miserable failure in low-light as generally known
No DIS (but lens stabilization + AF working)
No overheating encountered (till now)
Not coming before or on April first...
...but the undefeated detail and sharpness king for 4K beauty shots in controlled light and daylight scenarios...and ridiculously maleable in post, even in the eyes of  professionally working picky VFX and grading experts...

Record time is unlimited. There are other limitations though...
Photo buffers are mostly limited, even on pro line cameras. But our phantasy and ideas are UNLIMITED...
And now let me go back to learning for exams. Spending too much time with fiddling and shooting is NOT good for my graduation.

Yeah...I am very excited...Working on this for 7 months now...
After exams I will have the time to do a usable workflow description and HowTo. I hope, it will be useful for the community.
BTW: I think, @BTM_Pix will like it too, this guy is unbelievable in fiddling with electronics... 

Yep, he also gave me great advice with Nikon. He is definetely an expert.Very rare nowadays, where social media puppies spread their half knowledge around.

dbp says he is in the m43 system (lenses, etc.). So, why do experienced people (owning a m43 camera they talk about) not give him some advice on this?
I doubt, someone here had already his hands on a A7 III. Why giving advice with NO CLUE about this camera and considering Sony's well known abysmal quality control and expensive lens line?
Why not trying to help him with a recommendation within the m43 universe, so he could save some money and time?
Why even speculating on Canon cameras to come in 1/2/3 years?

And to make matters worse most photographers work for a company. And guess who owns the rights to the photos, the Company. Ain't no money in stock photos unless you are nearly a household name that that people go to your website to buy stuff. And to get those type of shots, takes lots of money for gear, to pay models, to rent a Helicopter or fly to China on and on. You aren't going to shoot many Stock photos walking around your own town unless you live in Paris or Rome.
And then you are in business, and being in business is not as glamorous as it sounds. Been there done that 3 times in my life. 2 of them incorporated. 10, 12 hours a day or more, maybe 7 days a week. As a Photographer if you are doing weddings, they are Always on the weekend, or own a restaurant etc you will be working 7 days a week. Good way to get divorced, or have a Heart Attack, or both LoL.
Speaking of Stock Photos, I do like this one. It is on Adam Lillard's Facebook page.
 

I have to disagree here. Just try to separate visual from financial aspect - "think with two brains". Nothing wrong when getting financial compensation for good and hard work. Getting bread and butter on your table with passionate work is fine. Much better than pseudo appreciation with likes, views and thumb ups - because noone can eat this shit. The most valuable and objective appreciation of your visual work is the status of your bank account. Anything else is a matter of personal and subjective perception. Everyone makes his own luck.
But working for stock portals is mostly a modern form of online slavery. That's the result of listening to propaganda puppies of the parasite industry, people who want others to work nearly for free while maximizing own profits. 
@User Just read this article on "stock photography parasitism" too: https://petapixel.com/2018/02/27/beware-500pxs-flexible-pricing/

That's you who tries to sell your opinion as fact. You get more and more ridiculous.
2+2=4 - that's math and NOT a matter of opinion. Just stop trying to redefine axioms. Even personal attacks don't make your crude theories become true.

My father drives a nice oldtimer. A very rare and nice one. It's a Mercedes-Benz. It's a very stylish and cool car. But for driving and transportation, it's far behind EVERY cheap Toyota at maximum of 2.000 $ you can get today. Driving this car regularly is simply a PAIN. The glorification of old film is BS. I have dozens of HQ (even on metal paper) prints proving this.
Just say: "I like it!" Saying it's unique, is saying you are not able to get the same look when working with digital RAW out of a modern camera. And no, you don't need hours to get the same look. It's a matter of minutes. Just do a blind A/B test...

I'm shooting the Nikon F5 for months now - very intensively. My conclusion: IQ wise, nothing you could NOT get with a modern digital camera. It's more the pleasure and the hype than rational reasons - at least when speaking of APSC / FF. And it's about deceleration of a photographers work. Putting reflection, lighting and composition in the center of our work. At least in my eyes...
"Discovery" and promotion of an alleged outdated technique is common nowadays, as people are oversaturated and bored with permanent new camera releases and latest specs and bells & whistles. So - in my eyes and experience - a nice entertainment claiming "mojo of old film". The truth is, there is no special mojo when it comes to image output of film photography. Nothing a skilled person could not do quite fast when post processing digital images.
For myself, I'll put my F5 back in the shelf and spend my time on keeping improving my Photoshop skills, when it comes to making and post processing photographs.
And I am not the only one coming to this conclusion: https://petapixel.com/2018/02/22/film-vs-digital-can-tell-difference/
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

By videos shot for HDR I mean videos shot with an emphasis on scenes that would benefit in particular from the extended DR of HDR, especially highlights.
Here are three examples, shot in 4K using HLG with REC2020 color and uploaded to YouTube so that those with HDR viewing devices can view them in HDR, those not in SDR. But, because these videos emphasize highlights that can best be captured by HDR, the view in SDR will miss the point (to exaggerate, like looking at a picture of a rainbow in B&W). The SDR versions will look perfectly fine, but they will be far less interesting. To view in HDR, if you can, you must go to the YouTube site to view by clicking on the YouTube logo.
First up (already posted in the contentious YouTube HDR thread) is a video shot on a sunny day after a snowstorm. White snow expanses in bright sun are almost blindingly bright in the real world, ideal for capture in HDR:
Next are two videos shot at the golden hour. The bright, golden light reflected off surfaces and/or coloring objects are again captured well in HDR (white surfaces reflecting bright light are the most impressive). 
 

@Frank5
Put your subject with his/her back 6 meters away from a black (dark), non-illuminated background. Apply to your subject a three point lighting with a strong backlight. And voilà, you will get a separation, even with MFT and f4 at 80-100mm. 
OK, I have to admit, there are much more comfortable possibilities to get there, but...it's still possible.
@Kisaha
A separartion is possible, yes. But "tremendous" ? Physics is not about opinions or taste. Physics is a science...
