@MikeLinn : posting the "Building Your Dream Ferrari Is A Beautiful Thing" youtube video from petrolicious channel, i am wondering do we know if the current setup used in recent videos contains only samsung nx1 and what lenses maybe? thanx

what markr said.

@joe1946

Thanks for the clips. Stabilization issues aside, what caught my eye was the lens. That Tamron 10-24mm is great! Question: Which lens mount is the Tamron using, and what sort of adapter are you using to mount it on the NX1? Is it working as a manual lens or is there any electrical connection?

@joe: Thank you for the warning, but this is not unexpected. Any stabilization system and pans are not good combos - essentially a stabilization system cannot easily distinguish between purposeful camera movement and shakes. Digital stabilization also cannot always identify camera shakes from subject movement (a subject can move in the frame because the subject moves or the camera shakes (moves)).

Why would anyone want to use stabilization for a pan on a tripod? Most camera manuals I have read advise to turn off stabilization when a camera is on a tripod, and some have cautioned on pans. The great Sony BOSS also has troubles with pans.

To be more specific, is peaking visible in the EVF during recording with third party manual lenses? And what about focus magnification?

ATTENTION NX1 Owners:

Does Focus Peaking and Focus Magnification work with third party manual lenses? Thanks!

I love Samsung for this. DIS is not something I'd use regularly but its not nice to know its there in a pinch. Did some cart mount stuff last weekend that could've used it to help get rid of the micro vibrations

The footage is really better, but there is a noticable crop.

If you really want to waste your money buy the tutorial. People that can,t even shoot a semi decent video sequence have no business putting half baked tutorials and charging for them.

@Manu4Vendetta

Voldemort still makes useless tutorials and fake LOGs? :-)

LOG seems to be new fashion lately with most people not understanding what it is and how to use it properly :-)

The Samsung NX1 is an excitingly ambitious camera for Samsung, as they pretty much pulled out all the stops to make a high-performance, professional-level mirrorless camera.

In terms of ergonomics, we'd go so far as to say the NX1 is one of the most comfortable cameras we've held in recent memory. The EVF is wonderful.

The Samsung NX1 is a peppy camera. The camera is very quick to start-up so you'll be ready to shoot in no time flat. The high-speed burst mode actually clocked in slightly faster than 15fps in our lab test. The buffer is also impressively deep: 50 frames for JPEGs and roughly 20 for RAW or RAW+JPEG.

Samsung has big issues with distribution.

Sellers do not want to invest money, and management in many countries become so addicted to big smartphones margins, so they ignore products that do not bring them bonuses.

@MikeLinn

Given some of the technical factors of each camera and given the nature of online video distribution, I didn't think the Canon was that much better compared to the Samsung (or at least $3,000 or so better). In fact, the Samsung looked more detailed in some shots without looking like edge enhancement rather than actual detail.

I haven't come across that kind of color discrepancy and color push on my NX1 footage that Andrew complains about. Has anyone else?

It would still be nice if someone more "lab oriented" could see if the sharpness settings at 0 and lower are still applying artificial false edges or if it's real world image detail. If so, at what setting does it start to disappear.
