iamoui Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 The one head on seems a little sharper and better for less noise was that the NX500? But over all the same thats good. Mine will be here on the 25th.The one head-on is the NX500, according to this post: http://***URL removed***/forums/thread/3818269 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beritar Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I think, to the contrary, that the Nx1 clips are sharper but we don't know if the two camera have the same base sharpening at default settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both were at default settings, but I suspect the sharpening in the NX500 is less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marco Tecno Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I can't understand why samsung is waiting this much for implementing the new features (lossy compressed raw and cropped 4k as an alternative) on nx1. The flagships has been forgotten already?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celli Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Thanks for that video markr041, looks sharp and color is nice. How is moire and aliasing with the nx500? According to your shoots it handles it quite well i guess. Thinking of upgrading my Nex-5R (everything shot in the city kind of looks like ps2 video game thanks to moire and aliasing) But I also like to keep the cam as small as possible. I am lazy and often would not bring something like the NX1 outside cause its too big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigitalEd Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Testing the NX500, with kit lens. That looks like a very nice quality to me like the NX1.. i think i will be happy with it. Even the wide shots look ok if you did not say it was the NX500 you could of posted it was the NX1 and no one would know any better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Jay Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Crop factor in 4K rules it out for me. Was hoping for compact body to complement NX1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigitalEd Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 My first reaction was shooting down town and wow the cropping took the top off all the buildings as soon as i pushed the button.. really need to get used to that - start recording and then hit pause right away to get the framing set.Then i went that night and shot inside a gym shooting some guys working out fighting and using a Rokinon Cine CV12M-NX 12mm lens all i could think was i need more zoom even with the crop. The 12MM was plenty wide for shooting full head to toe of the guys maybe around 10 to 12 feet in front of me. When i go back i will try a Nikon 24mm and a 35mm i have. I like being able to set to infinity and just move around.Video quality seems to be the same as the NX1 maybe better in the shadows i say this as the photos i have shoot with it are much cleaner in every iso then my NX1 is.

The flagships has been forgotten already??I think they are waiting for NAB to drop a huge update.Anyone see what the rolling shutter is on the NX500? Crop factor is okay if it fixes the one issue the NX1 has with 4K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ebrahim Saadawi Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Cinema5D had a preproduction nx500, it had 2550x1440 2.5K resolution at full s35 frame recording. Look how lovely this mode was above!For some reason, Samsung suddenly removed the FF 2.5k mode and added a 4K 2.6x crop mode just before final release. Most of us would prefer a 2.5K s35 pocket camera instead of the 4k s16 one they gave us. Really strange decision isn't it? maybe it's because 4K is a higher number = will appeal more to consumers marketing-wise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Andrew Reid Posted March 30, 2015 Author Administrators Share Posted March 30, 2015 Yes it is a bad decision.My NX500 went back to the shop because of that 4K crop. It's horrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Andrew Reid Posted March 31, 2015 Author Administrators Share Posted March 31, 2015 A short summary yeah, no footage. It's a big "no" from me for this camera, just get the NX1 instead. Mattias Burling 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 But it's like a thousand dollars more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Members Mattias Burling Posted March 31, 2015 Super Members Share Posted March 31, 2015 But it's like a thousand dollars more Worth it. You can probably find a used one in a month or so for very little. Samsung beeing some what new still has a really low second hand value.

Marco Tecno Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 One can dream ;-) I, on the contrary, bet nx1 will still be well over 1300$, new, at least till xmas.Why should an used one be that cheap? Perhaps you'll find one at - say - 1100-1200$, now that new runs for 1500$. But why should ppl depart from it for that little? In favour of what?

In favour of what?If anyone where to sell one in Sweden today they would get at best 70% of retail. That's just how it is for anything non mainstream. Same with Panasonic, bought my gh3 three months after launch for almost half price.As an example, a used 16mm pancake lens for the Samsung in Mint condition cost me 40% of the retail price. Zero people had shown interest in it.People buy and sell all the time. Either it was an impulse buy, they didn't like it, need money for something else and so on. EDIT: Just because of this discussion I had a quick look at the local classifieds and found both the 60 mm macro and 85mm 1.4 at half price. I already spent enough this month but it is tempting :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
