what's the likely hood of getting a focal reducer made for the Samsung mount or does one already exist?

It is complicated, Speed Booster authors claim that it is impossible, due to flange distance.
But this is if you want to keep all optics not sticking from back.

@all

If you already own NX1 and/or lot of NX lenses, send me PM.

this is all I could find

Samsung has been rather experimental with cameras, more so with standalone ones than the ones on its phones. Although the company has tried its hand at digital photography in the past, the 28 mega-pixel NX1 remains to be the first real attempt by Samsung with the photography professional in mind. The device got its first ever software update earlier today, and as you would expect, there are some improvements. You can take a look at the image below to see the entire changelog, but highlights of the update remain better autofocus in low-light situations, the addition of a custom wheel EVC (Exposure Value Compensation) in the Key Mapping menu, besides fixing many bugs. http://www.mydiyworld.net/?p=1805

Samsung: bigger h265 files without compression artifacts. I'm not hurting for diskspace so much that I need every clip to be under 70megs. You've pushed the efficiency aspect too far, at the expense of the image (especially in the 120fps mode, where I have already had some very unhappy surprises after a shoot.) The potential with this camera is huge, and I really love it. Just eliminate those macroblocks please.

New firmware from Samsung 1.1.0

Yes Samsung, you've built a great camera, but you made some poor decisions in the software. If you want to expand your user base, you must understand that people have different needs. One size does not fit all. You must provide the widest choice of frame rates at all resolutions. HEVC has it's virtues, but it also has it's problems. You can solve those problems by providing H264 as an alternate codec. These are things many working professionals require.

I hope you take these suggestions to heart, because you really have built a great camera. Now go the distance and provide great software. You're close, you're so very close to making a camera that can truly compete with Sony, Panasonic and Canon.

Does anyone know a place where we can contact Samsung to request new features for the NX1?

You can post here. I am sure they read this topic :-)

For example, I would like the ability to record 24P (23.976) at 3840 x 2160. I would also like them to implement H.264 as a codec in camera. Give the user a choice of codecs. I don't want the hassle of converting HEVC to some other codec in order to edit it.

These are two issues that are preventing me from buying the camera.

Tonight I did a quick test of aliasing -- comparing unhacked GH2 to NX1. I didn't have a lot of time and test isn't scientific. Both cams set to iso800, 24p, and f3.5 and both cams hand held. Subject was hepa air filters inside a gym. These filters are 36"x36" with tight contrasting pattern.

Wondershare won't convert my footage for some reason. Don't know why. Need to call tech support. So cannot upload just yet.

GH2 did not alias. NX1 did in fact alias noticeably when zoom to 50mm from a range of about 30 feet. At 16mm the aliasing wasn't visible. Switching between 4k/24p and 3.8k/30p made no difference.

I've used the NX1 in other situations and aliasing, in general, isn't a troublesome issue, as it was, IMO on the canon 7d. I've shot a little bit of rooftops and it didn't alias. However when pushed with an extreme subject, like tonight, the aliasing will show.

@waqarch I just have the 16-50mm f2-f2.8 lens. It's excellent btw. I have a Nikkor-o 35mm f2 but no adaptor yet.

Hey Brianl. R u using Nikon Adaptor? if so can u please post some footage of nikon glass on NX1. i wanna see how the colours look on there. and whats your thought about using AIS lenses on it. I loved the look on GH1. but hated on GH4. I have all range of glass in nikon. and skin color to me will be a major factor in deciding my video camera. Till now MX1 footages does not match. some r too good n others worse. so im confused.com. Much Appreciated if u can uopload some footage with nikon glass. thanks

Have any new NX1 owners gotten good results with the 120fps mode? I took the cam along on a recent shoot and am currently transcoding the footage ProRes 444 using Hybrid.

What I'm seeing from the footage so far is that the 4k looks nice, although with some blocking in underexposed areas. It's not perfect. The 1080p 120fps clips on the other hand are a complete soft blocky mess. I'm talking unhacked GH1 60p bad. I'm really hoping this is due to the transcode, but after trying one of the clips in Wondershare I'm getting the same results. I'll test out the various overcrank modes more in depth soon, really hoping there is a way to get clean slomo out of this thing.
