Wondering how much process power would require 12bits or even 10bits H265... I could definitely work with that !

Not that I want to sound picky, but I feel like I'd rather go with a 10bit H265 - that would keep the same workflow that we have - vs RAW - with a complicated workflow / no EVF / no Sound. What do you guys think ? (not that it's a real debate, but since all of these RAW talks are just pure speculation / no offense)

Depends a lot of the bitrate of the file. I can edit natively my NX500 files at regular bitrates in 4K, however my 150Mb/s files from my hacked NX1 need transcoding (done directly in premiere pro).

I have another source that says Canon will upgrade your 5D Mark II to a Red Epic. For free. Hey don't look at me like that ,I'm just sharing with the community !

I don't see how anyone should be surprised such a small sensor isn't doing great at ISO6400... Most S35 sensors aren't any good past 1600ISO... :/ I don't know why manufacturers don't allow us to turn it down...

By sacrificing their flagship ^^

Canon should invest in ML.

I use AF a lot - especially on Gimbal or doc work. Also sometimes I just use it to get the focus point then I switch to MF. But it helps if the AF is precise (especially in low light where focus peaking can be tricky sometimes). AF is a deal breaker for me. Just speaking for myself.

I'm still amazed that we don't have any raw option for video. Magic Lantern hacked the 5D Mark II 4 years ago ! Not even for 1080P ? Blackmagic pocket also came out in 2013... This is not a critic just for Panasonic, I think the same about Sony and Canon. But seriously anyone interested in raw would probably be ok to pay a couple hundred euros to have it as an option. So I'm happy that Panasonic is moving forward and that we can all be amazed by 10bit 422...while RAW 14bit has been available for 4 years on other DSLR...

Personally I'll be waiting to see more footage out of this camera. Because I'm still addicted and in love with my NX1. I work in stills and movies and it's very strong in both. I love how my clients are always blown out by the colors and details from the image straight out of the camera. And also because I have never been a big fan of GHx color science or noise management (I find the image never clean enough for my taste). I don't really like speed boosters because you usually lose some AF speed, and also it's expensive. First low light tests I have seen haven't blown me away. I'm not saying I'll never be interested in the GH5, but I have never been a camera "early adopter".

As long as companies such as panasonic, canon and sony will try to protect their higher end cameras by not including RAW, I think the NX1 will have a say, because of its ergonomics, 6k sensor, speed, autofocus, and also its community !

Could it be the effect of the ND filter ? Some have a dark cast that (maybe ??) could explain the difference. If not its strange because this test shows that the NX1 would have more DR at ISO500 that ISO100...

After abandoning the NX community just after releasing two news cameras (NX1 & NX500) and pro lenses, I don't see anyone in their right mind investing any of their money again if Samsung ever had the idea of coming back to take more of our money. Camera market is not a market where you can just come and go. Reputation is (almost) everything. Samsung were given the benefit of the doubt but most professionnals did not switch from their Canons or Nikons to Samsung because of their lack of history in the PRO camera business. Mark my words - which are just my analysis and don't come from anywhere else - if Samsung ever comes back to the camera industry (which I HIGHLY DOUBT THEY EVER WILL) it would be a total economic failure. Because no one will trust them again - especially people who will own by then GHx and Sony A7R x cameras-.

" there been words that Samsung is once again putting focus on their mirrorless cameras." Thanks for your answer SMGJohn. I understand that it is not a fact, but I would like to know if you could give your source for the "words". If its a rumor I am still interested in the source of the rumor is all. "I am just repeating what I have heard" - so I am just asking : where have you heard ? Thanks !

Could we have the sources of this information please ? - not a big fan of rumors

Just adding a bit of my experience with NX1 : If you work on Premiere Pro you don't need to convert NX1 footage. Also if you find the footage too sharp, which is also my case, you can dial the sharpness down all the way to -10. But also use either a slight gaussian blur (+5 in Premiere Pro) or add a bit of softness in Filmconvert.

So this camera has been shipping for almost a month and this is the only image we got to see ? Something is really OFF.

And now 3,100$ turns into 3,600€. Crazy.

Don't sell anything. Just buy a samsung NX1 for those 4K ultra detailed image you might need.

I could be wrong but it would such a strong feature not to talk about... but they didn't talk about IBIS which generates much expectations... so I guess all is possible !

Only in 4K 30p/24p. Not in 4k 60p.

First half of 2017 is what the rep said if I heard correctly.

Dynamic range, codec, and has the crop factor been adressed ??

What about the codec ?? That seems a lot of information to fit in a H264 file... ? 422 10 bit 4K 60p...

Agreed ! I only shared this because I thought maybe the author was referring to this video. Thanks I actually shot this with the NX1 and a Leica Summilux 50mm (thanks to a very good friend photographer). It's actually a modified NX1 to fit a Leica-M lenses. Regarding the colors it's just a M31 Lut if I remember correctly. That's my latest work with the NX1 :
