amanieux Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 is there a 30 minutes limit for video recording as on the nx1 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Andrew Reid Posted March 20, 2015 Author Administrators Share Posted March 20, 2015 Yes 30 min limit and no 4K HDMI output to get around it.No mic socket either.I hope Samsung offers the same perks of firmware updates to the NX500 as we saw with the NX1... it needs it.

Marco Tecno Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 From users' reports around the web, it seems that nx500 has some points in which is better than nx1. Namely:1) faster buffer clearance: after 5 shots, the camera writes to sd and in about 1 sec is ready to shoot other 52) faster af in low light (less hunting)3) lossy compressed files as alternative for losless4) presence of 200p video optionoption in 720p (but greyed out in any mode, so waiting to be enabled) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far, all the video clips from this NX500 posted that I have found (and I have looked), including those from reviewers, are based on somebody waving around the camera shooting literally aimlessly, often in poorly-lit settings. Le's wait for a video from someone who actually knows how to shoot video, or at least knows to hold the camera steady. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcio Kabke Pinheiro Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 If a good soul here good make a low light movie comparison between the LX100 and the NX500 with the same iso and aperture, I'll be immensely grateful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Andrew Reid Posted March 22, 2015 Author Administrators Share Posted March 22, 2015 I am finding video quality in 4K very similar to the NX1, almost identical.Problem is the crop, I find it very bothersome indeed! It's HUGE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 If only you could fit a speedbooster on there. Or maybe risk a slight vignette if you had the ability to adapt c-mount lenses. Anyone know of good lenses with the nx mount in 4k crop? Other than super telephoto? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know of good lenses with the nx mount in 4k crop? Other than super telephoto?Sigma 8-16mm if you want very wide.Sigma 10-20mm if you want cheap wide angle (used less than $300)Tokina 11-20mm f/2.8 (or the previous 11-16mm 2.8) if you want wide + big apertureSamyang 12mm f/2.0 (comes in NX mount) Liam 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ebrahim Saadawi Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Just tried it, see here's the problem with nx500, Julian recommends the right lenses indeed. Look at them, all wide angles, we know how they look on s35, so imagine taking a severe crop from that tokina 11-16 (nx500 4k) and shooting a portrait/actor. Just a bad, video like image, just flat, dull, dead, as we can all see. There isn't a 35mm 1.4 sexy close up of an actor's face or a beautiful 50mm zeiss with a vignette, you use an ultra wide angle instead. 2.5/2.6 crop is BIG. The pocket got away with it because it could make use of all the beautiful 3x s16 glass and the speedbooster, this one can't use either, just cropped wide-angle SLR glass, an ugly look for me tbh... and It doesn't help when the camera shows you a preview of the full s35 image in your face during shooting then jumps in to record. At least don't show me the gorgeous s35 frame dammit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markr041 Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 A comparison of the 4K video from the NX500 and NX1. Shot side by side to get the same approximate pov, both lenses set so the ISO was 800 and at the same f-stop. Both used the same model lens (NX 16-50mm PZ). The NX1 was closer in to mimic the crop factor of the NX500. Shutter priority mode at 1/60th for both. Standard color. AWB. SAF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigitalEd 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
