Brian Luce Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 How would you know this and why would samsung agree to this ? magic lantern hacks features that are already there, features canon don't want to give or don't want to officially give because they can't guarantee it will work properly.On the other hand, samsung want to give it all, i see no reason to employ others when they can do it in house. I cannot say, but I know people associated closely with Samsung. I don't know anyone at ML, but I have credible sources inside Samsung from way back. As I said, nothing is concrete, but I can assure there is a dialog. It's not something either party wants to publicize just yet, and some have already been in hot water for talking too much. There is nothing more I can say on the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco Tecno Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Good if true. Samsung has great hw, but sometimes they seem a bit naive about features, like when the pr guy said that few would be interested in 240fps, thus they did not implement it even if it were feasible for the nx1. They actually need someone like the ML guys to implement the 'rightfeatures and unleash the full potential of this camera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transmission Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 It would be nice if ML or Samsung could implement audio at the higher frame rates too. 50/60p isn't slow enough for Dh MTB etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco Tecno Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Yes I asked that as well. 120fps is accessible only throuhg two modes:- 1080@60@0.5x- 1080@30@0.25x Both are slowmo modes, hence no audio is recorded. I'd want a native 1080@120 mode, with recorded audio. There shouldn't be any problem in implementing this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mozim Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Andrew Reid is collecting feedback about the NX1 and will forward it to Samsung.

Marco Tecno Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Very nice. Which settings? Which shutter speed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lafilm Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Ok..thanks for the feedback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff CB Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Very nice. Which settings? Which shutter speed?This is slightly graded.Gamma DR, Sharpness -9, Contrast -5, Master Black Level +11. 1/50 shutter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco Tecno Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Thx. May you also post the ooc image before grading, for comparison? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff CB Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Here you go. Used the Rocky Mountain Movie Converter to Prores HQ. Can't wait until premiere can edit these natively, should provide better results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco Tecno Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Impressive detail. You gave quite a lot of depth through grading. Which settings did you apply? Anyway it's nice to see what can be done with a video that's 'just' 8bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lafilm Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Obviously the C300 is a much superior camera. Hence the price/feedback/films that were shot with it/Number #1 rented camera of all time. (outside studios)That being said the NX1 takes pretty pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronFilm Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 I just ordered an NX1 this afternoon, and I can't wait to use it. This should be a significant upgrade from my hacked GH1, which is now a fossil.As a GH1 owner myself, I'd love to see a direct head to head between the GH1 and the NX1!

Steve M. Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Thanks for the write up Andrew! The NX1 seems to do a lot of things right, but isn't quite there... yet. I'd like to Samsung fixing the existing issues first before focusing on new features. Two questions about the NX1: How does the new 1080p Pro mode compare to other 1080p cameras?How's the 4K rolling shutter compared to other cameras (A7s, GH4 etc)?What would be the defining moment that it would be there? What issues are you referring to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikkor Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Here you go. Used the Rocky Mountain Movie Converter to Prores HQ. Can't wait until premiere can edit these natively, should provide better results.Lol, this camera looks too good to be true, and for the price...

Geoff CB Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 I have posted these to other threads, but here is some testing I have done with the NX1. Some Notes after filming for a bit and using it on productions.ISO Limits: Each Resolution and framerate seems to have a limit that when you hit it the video quality skydives, these are what I have found so far.1080p120 fps Mode is fantastic until you hit ISO 500, then it gets murky, then unusable past ISO 80060p goes bad at ISO 80030p & 24p are perfect till ISO 800, usable in 1250, 2000 only suitable for some documentary situations. DCI 4K1250 is your limit, 2000 if your downscaling to 2KUHD1600 is the peak, 3200 if your downscaling to 1080pWant to do a technical test with steadily ramping the ISO values. Will post it here when it is complete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mozim Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 What would be the defining moment that it would be there? What issues are you referring to?It's hard to name one defining moment but I guess knowing that the camera will perform reliably without any software issues? Other cameras may not sound as appealing on paper but they work, and they work well. The NX1 certainly works well when it does but so far, I wouldn't really want to rely on it.
