Yes, most of the jpg samples look a bit smooth.

Is there any anouncement or test about the dynamyc range of the sensor?

This is why they should have finished the camera firmware before letting people test it,

Samsung had issues with processing in all their cameras I checked. I think they do not care much.

if they what people to buy their camera, especially a "PRO" branded one, they should care a lot image processing! :)

I suggest to google for stories about Samsung software development departments and their bosses.

1:1 uuuffffffffffffffff

That's truly a horrible photo. Bad light, bad white balance, patchy blown highlights, bad smearing. It should be in a textbook on things to avoid, especially the lighting.

Samsung NX 1 impresions: http://www.verybiglobo.com/phtokina-2014-samsung-nx1-first-impression/

Samsung blinded all card slots, asking not to save images because the firmware is not finalized yet. It seems however that they forgot about WiFi connectivity and some visitors took the opportunity and transfered files via direct link to their smart-phones. LOL

I still hope for a miracle in image quality department in the final firmware...who knows? LOL

@ Vitaliy_Kiselev I don't know how to mark your above comment but you are the best!

About low-light capabilities, I searched some specs about the pixel size, but could only find details about pixel pitch:

-Samsung NX1: 3.6µm

-Panasonic GH4: 3.7µm

-Sony A6000: 3.9µm

-Sony A7s (FF): 8.4µm

Samsung claims that "Applying BSI pixels, Samsung’s newest imager improves the light sensitivity of each pixel and increases light absorption in peripheral areas by approximately 30 percent".

DXOMark labs reviewed the Sony RX100 (non BSI sensor) vs the RX100II (BSI sensor) ans said that :"BSI sensor in the Mk II reveals the low-light capabilities are enhanced by +1/3 stop."

So, I think that the low light capabilities of the NX1 may be only marginally better than the GH4.

@maxr I'm only hoping that the NX1 will produce better images than the ones we can see... An other point to investigate is that when looking the EXIF of the sample, it seems that the quality of the stills was set to "Fine", whereas the NX1 can save pictures in Normal, Fine & Super fine modes.

I have looked many other available samples and they were set to "Normal", but I didn't find "Super fine" samples.

But I agree that for now, the NX1 is quite bad in high ISO...

@Eno, ok, I was dreaming of an APS-C successor for my GH2, it seems that it will not be the NX1.

I will still wait for the official release and see if a miracle happens :D

Samsung Electronics will widely incorporate its Tizen OS in its smart home-use electronics and LCD TVs in 2015, in an attempt to boost the penetration of Tizen using its leading global market status, and to set up a platform for developing the Internet of Things, according to Taiwan-based supply chain makers.

As usually I am always ahead :-)
