4K Samsung NX 1 now available for pre-order

[billh]

Here is a new interview with Samsung. This thing certainly sounds impressive. http://www.imaging-resource.com/new...x1-redefine-pro-performance-quantum-leap-tech

"When the guys in R&D were working on the Samsung Auto Shot feature, they recorded live 28 megapixel, 240 fps "video" to help with the debugging. We didn't see there being an application for that, at least for very, very few people."


Ummmm....


But with what is already going on under the hood, I am curious about heat issues and continuous recording.

Some very impressive stills from the NX1 with 50-150 lens.

Please let the video have those skin tones, I like it.

Looks like Kholi could contribute some great LA scenes.

Photo Plus is this week! Can't wait to check out the NX1 and see some footage and pics! I think the NX1 is going to be great. We'll see.

I just wish someome would upload an ungraded native shot of someone's face.

Checked the NX1 at Photo Plus in NYC today and it looked pretty cool to me. Didn't know they would allow to record and I didn't bring an SD card with me. I recorded to a card they had on the camera and checked out the footage and prints looked excellent. A couple of photogs were shooting stills in a studio set up with models and the stills looked fantastic. I might go back Saturday and bring a card and ask more technical questions I forgot to. I am basically sold on this cam.

Um, what lenses do you propose to use on this?

The camera was reviewed on a German photo site -

Mit der NX1 hat Samsung eine Kamera für echte Profis entwickelt, die mit herausragender Schnelligkeit und einfacher Bedienung punktet. Die Verarbeitung der Kamera und des Telezooms ist nicht vergleichbar mit den Vorgängerkameras der NX-Serie. Eine Perfektion aus Design, Haptik und Wertigkeit. Selbst wer auf diese Kriterien keinen Wert legt, sollte spätestens bei den technischen Daten dieser tollen Systemkamera keine Zweifel mehr haben. Großer, hochauflösender Sucher, 15 Bilder in der Sekunde bei voller Auflösung, 4K-Videoformat - um nur einige Aspekte zu nennen. Für mich ist diese Kamera DAS Highlight 2014 im Bereich Fotografie.

Well, I went to Photo Plus in New York a few days ago, checked the camera, checked various lenses and they are mighty good I would say. The sample footage they were showing was fantastic and the stills they were shooting at their studio set up looked pretty awesome, and all shot with their very own lenses mind you. Why in the world do I need a Nikon or Canon lens is beyond me. Or any other lens that is not meant to be used with the camera? Oh, but if I want to use those lenses there is always the adapters. Oh, BTW, Rokinon also manufactures lenses for the NX cameras! And soon many more lens companies will be making lenses for that mount for sure.

That 50-150 does look pretty great.

I would really like to see a 120fps continuous shooting mode included since the sensor readout is so fast. There are some things I shoot that you don't know where you need slo-mo. 60p is o.k. but 120p would help me consider making move.

some crazy specs, nice samples, but looming DR values. Anyone heard about the DR in video?

How do you know how fast the sensor readout is? Is it from this interview http://www.imaging-resource.com/new...x1-redefine-pro-performance-quantum-leap-tech ?
I thought the same thing, but after analysing the footage from the jason gordon levit video I have measured the readout speed in his test shots to be 32 milliseconds which isn't that good at all. It definitely doesn't go along with what is said in that interview, but that is what I measured.
