Also we don't know if the Terra is using the same sensor as the Ursa mini.

I have never been a big fan of the scarlet image... have never seen anything from it that really had the magic of the Red One Mx... - and yeah I know it's suppose to be the same sensor and everything... But still it always feels like the Red One MX has this special mojo...

European distributor (hdvideoshop) has confirmed that they won't ship before these dates - so it's not a matter of pre-order queue anymore. They are a little bit late (if its just a couple of weeks its more than acceptable). EDIT: also the pre-order period has been extended.

I completely agree with that !

Those editing get faster every year... by 2020 only robots will be able to watch anything that we produce... Just because the attention span is shortening doesn't mean we have to make everything faster and/or shorter. Well that being said I'm going back to watching some Kurosawa's movies... Great job anyway

Are the cameras already being delayed ? I thought shipping dates were 6K: May 5K: June On their website it says 6K: June 5K: Jully

Well I hope their new sensor won't be disappointing... I really loved the organic feeling of the kinemax 6K.

@Otto K thanks for your reply how about 1080p raw ?

+1 internal Also what are the chances we could get 14bits raw recording on the NX1 ??

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

I have both NX1 and GH2, 3, 4.... And totally agree with you

If you need great colors I would rather go for the NX1... (you also get great AF at the same time if you use NX S lenses)

NX1 batteries discontinued at B&H.... :/ http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1081859-REG/samsung_ed_bp1900_us_ed_bp1900_battery_pack_for.html

I would be very interested to see the match between the Red One MX vs Ursa Mini 4.6k... We have yet to see some filmic image out of the Ursa mini... but maybe in the proper hands / context... : )

Award of the most useless post of the year !

I find that the NX1 can be very tricky to grade especially for the sky. From my experience there isn't much to do, it's just a matter of being soft on the grading. The image of the NX1 is so clean that it breaks down a bit sooner than a GH4 for instance. It's worse if you have a scene that contains tons of details, then the compression can be stronger -> and you have macroblocks even sooner.

I agree that it's a disappointment that they are late on delivering. But why pre-order ? I don't understand how people can put some money for something we have almost zero info about...Same thing for blackmagic Ursa mini. This gimbal might be a hit, but so far no reviews are out... no serious testing either. So let's just be patient, and try it out when it's finally out, and then you'll be able to judge if it's good or not.

Totally agree with underexposing the NX1 : ) Just watch out for your skintones if you underexpose too much - the dynamic is not huge so sometimes you might not want to trade the hightlights for the skin tone... On my GH4 I used to do the opposite ! Overexpose to avoid that stupid noise everywhere !

I don't understand why is there so much criticism when the product is not even out...

This topic feels good and refreshing - thanks !

Some beta testers have been sharpening in post :/ I think that if they deliver the DR and overall quality (noise, skin tones, easy grading) it will be a hit : ) Most potential buyers are really paying attention to the theoretical DR.

Still beta test... : )

Thanks for the test. I see a lot of resolution, low light and dynamic range test on the internet, but if I may, I would love to see more tests of color grading - meaning, how well does the codec holds up in a color grading situation. Cameras can really be split up in two groups : 420 8 bits internal on one side and PRORES/RAW recording on the other side. The camera of the first group are all subject to banding / macroblocking or noise issues - especially more visible when grading.

You're lucky or maybe its the matte box that helps Each of my client who has seen the Samsung had a comment about it "oh usually I think people use Canon or Sony right ?". Not necessarily a negative comment, but they feel reassured by seeing cameras they already seen before. For my perspective I just talk them through, how Samsung is a step ahead of the competition, and that they will be able to judge by themselves.
