IronFilm Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I'm assuming that Fujinon is a C mount lens, if so it will be impossible for it to get infinity focus on a Samsung NX mount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yanouli Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Hello, for a wide angle, It is possible to imagine mount a 4/3 lenses OLYMPUS 9-18MM F/4-5.6 (DIA72) EZWith a adaptor 4/3 to NX mount the angle will be 22,68mmhttp://www.amazon.fr/Adapter-dadaptation-objectif-montage-Samsung/dp/B0047L0CGUIt could be possible no?

Mark Fink Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 What about using the Samsung 10mm fisheye lens? I'm wondering how much distortion there will be when cropping in this much and what the field of view would be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yanouli Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 the distortion fisheye effect will be always here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NX1 base firmware was exactly the same but they fixed it with updates. I'm positive they'll load a new firmware onto the NX500 as well.

IronFilm Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Oh well, disappointment. Will keep an eye out for the reviews. But it looks like it it back to waiting for the A7000 or maybe a G7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco Tecno Posted March 14, 2015 Author Share Posted March 14, 2015 I doubt they'll update it consistently. The three digits nxs have always been quitquite far from the top, specs wise. Even when the hw was similar (nx300 never got the remote evf pro feature, even if it had the same processor as the nx30). P.s. I also noticed that they mention that focus peaking is disabled in 4k and uhd, on nx500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcio Kabke Pinheiro Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Well, no focus peaking in 4k was the final deal breaker for me - more than the crop factor. A shame, since the first samples that people are putting in youtube have very good resolution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronFilm Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 If that is true, the NX500 is a complete write off for me :-( Such a pity, had high hopes this could be "the one". After how Samsung wasn't holding back with the NX1 I was kinda expecting Samsung wouldn't be indulging in these games of crippling lower end products.

Julian Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Even with the limitations it stills seems like a great deal. It's only €749, including a lens!Cheapest 4K camera on the market, and everybody expects it to have all the high end features... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 4k crop could be understandable because of processing / heat issues / market segmentation, but no peaking in 4k s a very BIG flaw.

In fact when i do turn it on it is more in the way they anything. The back screen is very clear and easy to focus with. I use a 3x finder on the back.

For fixed shots (where I don't change de focal distance I think that the enlarged view is ok - even preferred), but when I have to change focus while filming, pressing a button to bring the enlarged view (if you are working with non-native lenses) could introduce some shaking in the camera; I got better results with peaking.

ntblowz Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 NX500 is really a 2.5K camera at heart, if you think like that it is not too bad. Luckily I bought NX1 instead of waiting for NX500, I will be keeping that little LX100 for a lot longer now lol. Marco Tecno 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Andrew Reid Posted March 16, 2015 Administrators Share Posted March 16, 2015 It's not a 2.5K camera though. That feature isn't present in the final camera. It's true 4K with a crop -http://www.eoshd.com/2015/03/shooting-with-the-samsung-nx500-a-pocket-4k-cinema-camera/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
