Micah Mahaffey Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 The Samsung NX1 is a pretty incredible camera! Especially for the price of $1499. I've been getting myself comfortable shooting with it and in the process edited this test video together. The Camera has a 6.5k super 35mm sensor that it down samples to 4k bringing a very detailed 4k image that rivals that of the most expensive cameras out there. Even those ranging above 20 grand. The Camera is also capable of shooting 120 FPS at 1080p with hopes of achieving 240 FPS in the next firmware update. The Camera records to H.265 allowing for very small file sizes while maintaining excellent quality. The camera also has 11.5 stops of dynamic range which is perfectly usable and on par with cameras like the Blackmagic production camera, Canon C300, Red Scarlet, and so on.

Micah Mahaffey Posted March 21, 2015 Author Share Posted March 21, 2015 I'll be doing some more tests today. I'll make sure to include audio. I also did a test a few days ago where I have audio from the on board mic. right here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihu_Z8B7xcY I'm also making a short film on this camera in about a week to show off how it handles as a story telling tool.

Steve M. Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Hmmmm, that never posted? Anyway, If you shot that with the 2.35:1 grid you should get rid of those black bars top and bottom with QT7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff CB Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Get a shoulder rig man, great shot setups in here but it looks like it was shot with an iphone because of the jitter. Hitfabryk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have plenty of rigs I could/should of used but only had about 10 minutes to get the footage and was really just wanting to see how it performed in day light. It's also good to know hand held isn't so great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enny Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 oh common now you are comparing to Red Scarlet professional film cameras if it was good as red camera then Hollywood would spend 2k instead of 30k for camera or 60k for Arri BUT BUTTTTTT- The camera is just a tool. This trailer fooled a ton of film guys into believe it was film, yet it was shot on the 5D. I honestly never thought this could have come from a 5D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micah Mahaffey Posted March 22, 2015 Author Share Posted March 22, 2015 I honestly think DSLRS are great for films. Look at the season 6 finale of House! It was shot on a 5d and looks incredible!! Same with Act Of Valor!! That was a bug budget Hollywood movie shot 90% on 5d's. If a Canon 7D can be used to make features like "Like Crazy" then an NX1 should be perfectly usable at 4k! Hollywood movies use expensive cameras because they are better in different ways. It's going to be much easier to make an arri Alexa look like a movie than it will for a NX1 so Hollywood of course will use the best there is. But if you know what you're doing the NX1 can be used as a story telling tool just as much as a red can. It'll take more work but for the price I wouldn't mind working a bit harder.

iamoui Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 What? I think what he's saying is, you can shoot on whatever expensive camera you want but if the story sucks and the acting sucks then he will say, "Hmm, imax, interesting." and move along.

Marco Tecno Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Do you have the 16-50S? If so, you could try it and see how it behaves with handeld shooting. Nice clip, btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
