Marco Tecno Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 For sure, even if GH5 will be a bit better than NX1 for video (and that's to be seen) it won't be for still pics. Perhaps EM1-mk2 will be more stills oriented, but then you need to have two bodies. Or...you get a GH5 for video and a FF camera for stills, but again two bodies and two systems, here. NX1 is so well balanced that even when other cameras will start reaching and surpassing it for individual specific tasks, it will still be a very good overall solution. tugela 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMGJohn Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 The Panasonic GH5 made my panties wet in joy, 4k at 50/60p, holy smokes! HOWEVER! What is the cost? That is what I care about, if it is like 3000+USD then there is no point I might as well just go buy a pro video camera for that price that does 4k at 120fps with RAW video, sure its larger but seriously Panasonic slapped great features in their camera, if it cost the same as the GH4 and Samsung NX1 at launch, holy smokes! Reason I went with NX1 and not a pro video camera was the price, 2k for camera and lens, great deal for what it can do although not selling it ever, I like it too much, I will probably use it as secondary or for fun until either the NX1 dies or I die of old age.

tugela Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Well, it will probably be 5 or 6 months before you can buy one anyway, so plenty of time. Even though the GH5 will probably edge past on video, the NX1 kicks it in stills, so is still very competitive as a hybrid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on what I checked on Githut (only briefly) and looking at content of so called NX1 source Samsung published indeed we need a Messiah. Or REAL NX1 firmware source code (maybe I am missing something but what Samsung released as source code is piece of garbage they have to make public due to legal reasons). Without it is highly unlikely to have it done (unless there is already done but not enabled feature in the firmware). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Charlie Obuchowski Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Just checking, This has been talked about right? I searched up sourcecode nx1 .zip I found this, May have been found and talked about already but is it anything new? http://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=sub&sub=F&searchValue=nx1 Hope this is a new find to further the possibilities!

SR Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 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?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't looked into his hack for quite awhile but it looks like he is still working on it. @vasile has stopped working on his version and has kind of disappeared. My guess is he is moved onto a new project and is likely working on something else. Me personally I am not using any hack. I did try out and early version of NX-KS but found most of the features were not for me. I also used vasiles bitrate hack for quite awhile but eventually I factory reset my camera to remove the hack and have not reinstalled it. The bitrate hack does improve quality but IMO only by about 10% at most so I dont really miss it that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go, @kinoseed!@MountneerMan, you didn't see much improvement in shadow noise or motion cadence (a pain in a lot of my non-hacked videos)?

I think the improvement is major in shadow noise and on fine patterns like asphalt or leaves on trees. I also think you can push the image a little more in post. But, in the end, it's all subjective. kidzrevil 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not a professional so take this for what its worth but I think the whole motion cadence thing is BS. as for the shadow noise and fine patterns I did see some improvement but again its no more than 10% improvement. I mean 10% is still a pretty big improvement really when you think about. I do think alot about putting the hack back on from time to time and maybe I will someday. Maybe I will give the NX-KS hack another shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to get pissed thinking the nx1 hated vintage lenses not realizing it was mostly cause the bitrate was too low Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With 1080p, you can try mounting the resolution on 4K or UHD (depending what FPS you need), and see if that helps. ex: nx-ks menu > Custom Func. > Mod Resolutions > UHD as 1080p grey and lucabutera 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chauncy Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 kino, I saw in the latest there was something about remote controller but no explanation. Is this like Samsung camera manager or some kind of improvement for remote control? I use the manager all the time, but it is very lacking. If it was faster, and had more features this would be a big deal thank you Marco Tecno 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was faster, and had more features this would be a big deal thank you The project is created by mewlips: https://mewlips.github.io/nx-remote-controller-mod/ After you start it (check-ON in the menu), you will see the camera's IP. Just enter it in a browser (can be your phone), and you get full control. You can set your phone as a hotspot, and connect your camera directly (you can use this if there's no WiFi around). To stop it - uncheck it from the menu. (you don't need the Telnet/Ftp activated for it to work) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
