A few others have been going in the opposite direction such as this shooter here: TheRenaissanceMan and mercer 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christrad Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Sorry but apparently you didn't write the Vimeo comments of the owner who said how much he love his NX1 and is not in anyway disapointed by it but just "felt like it was time to try something new". iamoui 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I purchased my G3 for less than that, and I got it from ebay *AGES AGO*! I'm a big fan of the price of the G3, less such a big fan of the quality... a Panasonic GH1 or GH2 or G6 are all so dirt cheap, I'd recommend any of them in a heartbeat over a G3.

Super Members Mattias Burling Posted April 5, 2016 Super Members Share Posted April 5, 2016 Yeah you can get a G6 for less than $200. Its a nice camera. Think its the same sensor as in my GFs GM1 and that makes very likable images. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidzrevil Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 I don't know...I personally feel like each lens and camera renders an image completely different from another so lens & body combination is important. Yeah you can get a great image out of anything but all this variety just shows if the tools from the body to the lens wasn't important then there wouldnt be so much to choose from... in the case of the nx1 vs pana bodies with speedbooster im interested to see feedback on that as well. A GH4 with 0.64 speedbooster doesn't sound bad especially if I can keep the iso down at 800 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lebigmac Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 I had some some frustrations with the NX1 (which I got returned), especially in stills mode (even FW1.4) & I'm not sure if some of the flaws are generic. I experienced very unpredictable results (AF/focus peaking or shutter shock issues?) and sometimes high amounts of noise in dark areas, even at iso 200. I got better results in almost every situation with my old NEX-5t (compared kit lenses & 30mm 2.0 v.s 50mmm 1.8). If you plan to work a lot with stills I wouldn't take for granted that the NX1 works better than the G7, the latter has definitely the better jpg engine.

kidzrevil Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 I never shot with a GH2 before but I remember it was the image that made me take a chance on panasonic with the gh3 coming from a t3i. the GH line is amazing but I am praying for a gh5 with a 4k image that has the character of the hacked gh2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, that was my input there and his reply, respectively: "how have you found the difference with your new G7 toy?" Albert Fast 4 months ago: "G7 is lighter and smaller but lacks 100-120 fps slow motion and headphone jack. Different color science but comparable low light performance. Both great cameras!" In a personal note, in a way or another, I share the same perspective of him and many others (no matter the camp you play), to usually be open and straightforward : ) No football cheerleaders contest over here. By the way, it is an European who's writing it :-) kidzrevil 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neosushi Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 You can get great results with any camera - then it's a matter of tastes, budget and workflow. For a lot of users coming from the "GH" world, the NX1 feels like a great alternative - but we're all entitled to have different tastes kidzrevil 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidzrevil Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Albert Fast's shit makes me want to get a g7 LOL im gonna hold out for the gh5 but the g7's image is amazing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinegain Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 You know what I think makes a really good Formula 1 or MotoGP driver? That he's as good in the field as he is with his team of engineers. He not only needs to know his personal limits, he needs to know where his machine shines and where there's room for improvement to squeeze out that little bit of extra oompf. Albert Fast is one of these folks that knows the limitations of his gear and knows what to do in post processing to make it go that much further. I feel like that's the real struggle. It's like flying a plane, everyone can make a decent take-off, just throttle up and yank the yoke... pulling off a smooth landing is a 2nd. You've got to have a feeling and understanding for it. It's about putting the puzzle pieces together, you've got to have that oversight. I'm still trying to get to that place with getting my looks down, figuring out the whole deal with all these different LUTs, techniques and methods especially, since I've been shying away from them except for getting quick impressions how different looks would suit certain footage and then just tinkering away from scratch, which tends to get a little time consuming, but I also don't want to throw in a LUT and look like a Instagram hipster. Tough to find that balance, I salute those who have a natural feel for it! One of my fav looking vids to come across over the last year, must have been this one by Ed on the F35, to me that's just gorgeous synergy of men and tools.

kidzrevil Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 @Cinegain yeah Albert Fast has the magic touch. Definitely an understanding of the cams limitations and knowing what to do in post helps. Im straying away from LUT's since its making less sense to use a preset look with these luts when im already satisfied with the color of my nx1. Lets not forget the artifacting and macroblocking that some luts can introduce even when using noise reduction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
