@Eno Very crisp image indeed. I am a bit concerned about motion in the Cinema 4k mode, at least as it compares to the GH4.

new review... http://www.eoshd.com/2014/11/samsung-nx1-review-evolving-legend-un-editable-codec-one-giant-leap-specs-kind/

’ve been shooting with the Samsung NX1, an absolutely massive leap for camera technology – even a leap too far? Take a cup of tea and enjoy my rolling review to find out whether the NX1 is a petulant robot here to make your life difficult, or pushing the bar higher for 4K and DSLRs. Samsung have always played the specs game. Technology however, is one thing – how it is used and applied quite another. Use of technology requires culture, an artistic sensitivity and taste. The same goes whether you are a filmmaker or a camera designer. This is Canon’s secret. The 7D Mark II has dated technology under the hood compared to the NX1 but ergonomics so connected to the shooter – it feels like an extension of our hands. Same with the Cinema EOS line. Dated technology vs the Sony FS7 but flowing ergonomics and no need to workaround anything with regards lenses. Canon haven’t pushed the technology beyond what the user can handle, and they have applied it based on a very sound knowledge of how their customers use photographic >tools, not consumer electronics.

Photo comparison NX1, Nikon D800 and Canon 5Dmk3. All upsampled to 36Mpix res and iso100 from Imaging Resource. Quess which is which?

1=D800, 2 NX 1 and 3=5D mark 3

Yes right. NX1 is almost as sharp as D800 !

IR has 4K sample footage available now.

Well, I downloaded one of the mp4s. Can't play it in Windows Media player

In other words - you need powerful 4 core CPU and good decoder. Any decoder will still be software or hybrid for now.

Also can try Windows 10, it has Microsoft decoder for HEVC.

Both 4K and HEVC are in the infancy days now.

Thanks, Vitaly. I had an old version of PotPlayer. It would not play the file. But, I right clicked, selected "Update", , updated Potplayer, and also chose some options to add codecs, and...now the mp4 is playing fine in Potplayer.

I'll add this reply to the other thread as well.

The NX1 clip looks awfully good. Of course, I don't even have a 4K monitor! :-) The auto-focus looks nice at about 30 seconds, when it snaps some small foreground branches/leaves into focus.

There isn't much to say about the NX1's high ISO capability other than that it is quite good – right up there with other state of the art APS-C sized sensors. This high IQ may well be attributable to the fact that this sensor is the industry's first APS-C sized chip with back side illumination.

Samsung NX1 with 16-50 f2.0-2.8 - looks like AF is in use.

In a response to my inquiry, Adorama emailed me today: "Please be advised ETA to Samsung NX1 Mirrorless Digital Camera Body is going to be on the 1st week of December."

Adorama has the body plus the 16-50 2-2.8 in stock.
