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

this maybe a loaded question but how does the image compare to the Blackmagic Cameras? I shoot with a BMPCC right now and high framerates are sorely missed right now for music video work.

firmware update is done via the Samsung i-launcher software. Make sure your battery is fully charged.

OK - whatever camera settings and h.265 conversion program and settings, as well as the NX1 firmware version has the right amount of detail in the shadows IMHO. I wonder if the new firmware has anything to do with it?

@MarcioK

This means that they have some smart and sane guy heading project.

I have big hopes for NX500.

@Vitaliy_Kiselev and probably stopped the engineers dance between products (at least some) :)

The (supposed) use of Tizen in this camera could ease this kind of development pace?

One surprise that's not in that firmware list is an option to record in H264 as the current H265 is a little ahead of its time, as far as requiring additional post production.

Serious update. No H.264 serious bummer. Still.....

I've been so tempted by this camera. I just told myself "Chill out, you don't need this plus its missing a lot of things." Then they added a lot of those things. Now I'm tempted again LOL.

I would like to know what "Pro Quality" means for 1080p footage.

I need to see someone shoot in this D Gamma profile. The dynamic range of the footage was a big concern for me.

Well if they have H.264 it surely will be even more popular, currently H.265 is too ahead of time.
