With the new announced features I am placing an order for the camera. I just love the look, especially skin tones, that comes right out of it.

Note to NX1 owners

Rokinon 35mm f/1.4 AS UMC Wide Angle Lens for Samsung NX is $235 on Amazon.

Amazing price for such lens.

"Rokinon 35mm f/1.4 AS UMC Wide Angle Lens for Samsung NX is $235 on Amazon. Amazing price for such lens."

... Or, you can get 30mm F2.0 Samsung pancake lens for the same price. One stop slower, but tiny, light weight, and auto focus with in-camera distortion correction. Great options.

... Talking about NX lenses ....

I have the 12-24mm F4-5.6. It is sharp from corner to corner, low distortion, and great color. I am very pleased with it. The price is good for a pro-IQ UWA lens, even though it does not feel pro-made. Lots of plastic, but light weight and small for an UWA. It accepts filters, which is a great feature not all UWA's have.

I am using it for stills, so I have no idea about its performance for video. Because of its weight, it may work well on stabilizer like the Nebula 4000.

I paid $380 for a like-new one on eBay. It used to be for about $460 on Amazon, but now it is $529 :(. Still not too expensive for the IQ you get from it.

Be aware when you add to cart it says "Please Note! This Item is on the way to our warehouse and is expected in a few days" but I received an email from them immediately after buying saying it's backordered.

Don't get me wrong it's an amazing deal, just wanted people here to be aware that they will not receive it right away.

Very much looking forward to receiving and using the camera. Believe it or not, what finally convinced me to buy is them adding in camera 2.35:1 crop guides. I shoot mainly for theater because I'm working at one where I handle video advertising, so that feature is a gigantic selling point for me.

If Panasonic is so afraid, why are they taking for every to send out the firmware update on the GH4? That update is literally gonna make it or break it for me. Only thing holding me from this camera is lenses and figuring out how to adapt my Canon and Nikon glasses with it.

Hi

I have received a test model of the NX1 for PV. I am new to Samsung, I only have all 4 GH cameras from Panasonic.

I can only tell here my first my impressions about this camera how it handles etc. I have it here with the 16-50 2-2.8 lens which is great.

When I got it out of the box it felt good. Heavy and the moneys worth. The lens is, of course compared to the Panasonic 12-35 huge and very heavy which makes it a little bit front heavy when you hold it for a longer time.

The autofocus it great, responds fast and seemingly very reliable. I like the menu, which is clear and differnet modes are fast accessable. The screen is probably movable enough for overhead and on the ground pictures, but I am used to the 270° swivel of the GH series, so I feels a bit limited to me. Also, the screen is always on the back side, where the GH4 you can turn it towards the camera to protect it.

The pictures in lower light with 1600 and 3200 ISO are great. Not a lot of noise, very nice, better than with the GH4 12-35.

Through the APS-C sensor, the DOF is smaller which is nice.

The different video settings are easy to change and maybe even faster than in the GH4.

The videos do not playback with VLC but with the Zoom Player. But I can not import the to Edius, my editing system. To convert everything before using seems unpractical for me though.

Used it again this afternoon and the handling is really nice. The buttons are placed nicely and I like the fact, that I can hit the replay button also with the right thumb. The video button on the other hand is a little harder to find with the index finger without looking and needs some practice. I like the fact, that you can use the same setting for video and photo, and that you do not have to switch in video mode for that.

These are just s few things I saw when I used the NX1 a bit.

If you have anything what I shall try or test for you, let me know.

I ment the total weight of camera with 16-50 lens.

@AKED: I did not mean to criticize your post, I like what you wrote :). Perhaps I should have been more clear (well, it was before my morning coffee ...).

I mentioned the weight of the NX1 in comparison to GH4 because I see frequently that people, and reviewers, are saying that the NX1 is too heavy, instead to clarify that it is heavy only due to the lens.

I am looking forward you read more about your experience with the NX1 system in the future.
