Samsung has cancelled their booth at the Photokina show and will not be exhibiting.

You can get a battery grip fro the NX1 as well

Thanks @IronFilm but as far as I know there is only one made by Samsung and it is overpriced with no weather sealing and a substantial gap between it and the body.

For the life of me I can't find a real number.
How long does NX1 battery lasts while recording 4K/1080p. I'm interested in moreless continuous recording (manually starting recording every 29:59).
For GH4 it is about 4 hours, G7 1:40/1:50. I've only found estimated time of 3 hours.
So how long can NX1 record on single battery?
I am aware of its capability to use USB power bank, this is actually the reason for my question (power bank capacity estimation with DC/DC conversion loss).

Rooting the NX1 and NX500 would be amazing, I bet we could push the quality years ahead of what the big companies are likely to deliver. Unfortunately this camera doesn't seem to be very popular and very unappreciated, and the community too small.

Just tried the 30min limit on the NX1, with the 1.40 firmware (the latest as far as I know), it simply stops recording after reaching the 30 minutes.

Also, has anybody tested the best settings to achieve maximum dynamic range?

AP: Before Christmas, there was much press speculation that Nikon had bought Samsung’s NX camera business. Are you able to give us a reaction to the many media reports about this?

DJ: As you learn from the media and also from official feedback that was a hoax. There was never anybody really talking about it.

Samsung cameras were a no-show at CES in Vegas. I have spoken with a friend who has a direct contact to somebody at Samsung. Rumor has it that the camera department has now been integrated into the medical equipment/healthcare section. His advise was to watch for signs at CES. If there was no new camera announced it would be the confirmation that there will be no new cameras coming out in the foreseeable future. So let's grab a few more lenses as they get discounted and keep shooting this marvelous camera for a few years to come... http://petapixel.com/2016/01/08/samsung-cameras-are-a-no-show-at-ces-2016-looks-like-the-end-is-nigh/

"As for all this complains, just go and buy NX1 on sale, it'll be useful tool for long long years to come."

I'm all in. Got it and two s lens for 40% off retail. Camera stores seem to want it gone. I think it's a powerhouse.

@Adam_Mercier

They even have fish eye pancake also and few others:-)

As for all this complains, just go and buy NX1 on sale, it'll be useful tool for long long years to come.

I can't help but think that if Samsung had removed the recording time limit, included H264 based compression, and also produced something like the Panny 20mm lens, they would have sold those cams by the truckload.
