28MP APS-C sensor? Interesting!

Good thing that Canon has moved from 18MP to 20MP. Really jumping ahead there.

the isocell tech is interesting too.

I love when websites compare the 70D/7D2 against mirrorless and give the advantage to the mirrorless camera because they have "200" AF points on the sensor while forgetting that the 70D/7D2 have 20 million (~16million selectable) AF points on the sensor.

i guess it´s because of the 154 cross AF sensors.

Not true 4K, but I can settle...
But what about lens selection, I can't find $h!t on samsung.com with regards to lenses.

I've long ago learned to never judge a product from a paper review. It could be a great camera, or a loser. Since lenses are far more important than the body, what is the story about lenses? Any reviews or tests of lenses?

As a 4K-capable camera, the NX1 is among the most compact cameras in its class. Aside from 4K, video may be recorded in Ultra-HD as well as in full HD. To help ensure that even the highest resolution video files are easy work with, the NX1 accommodates UHS-I or UHS-II memory cards and employs HEVC (H.265) compression. Additionally, video may be recorded directly to an external device with a 4:2:2 (8-bit) output signal.

The native 4K Samsung NX1 Mirrorless Digital Camera features a 28.2MP BSI APS-C CMOS sensor that not only produces high-resolution images, but also 4K video at 24 fps, UHD at 30 fps, and full 1080p HD video at up to 60 fps. High Efficiency Video Coding (H.265) is applied so that even 4K and UHD video files remain easy to edit and share. A sharp, 3.0" HD 1036k-dot touchscreen monitor and 205 phase-detection AF points benefit both cinematographers and still photographers, and in instances where it is preferable to use the camera's viewfinder instead, a sharp, built-in XGA OLED electronic viewfinder is also built-in.

Built for fast shooting conditions, the NX1 provides a 15 fps burst with autofocus plus a 1/8000th second maximum shutter speed. For use in low-light, the ISO range can be expanded from 100 to 51,200. A full complement of shooting modes are available, including Aperture Priority, Auto, Manual, Program, and Shutter Priority, plus "smart" modes such as Action Freeze, Beauty Face, Fireworks, Landscape, Multi-Exposure, Night, Panorama, Rich Tone (HDR), Sunset, and Waterfall. Images can be saved as RAW files or JPEGs of various file sizes that correspond to user-selectable image ratios of 3:2, 16:9, or 1:1 and according to the user's desired color editing space of Adobe RGB or sRGB.

Saving and outputting large video and image files are accommodated by the camera's ability to utilize UHS-I or UHS-II SD-type memory cards, and a USB 3.0 port. Additionally, a micro HDMI connector allows video to be recoded directly to an external recording device with a 4:2:2 (8-bit) output signal. The NX1 also takes advantage of wireless technology as well. Built-in Near Field Communication (NFC) capability allows individual images to be wirelessly transferred from the camera to a smartphone or tablet. Additionally, 802.11b/g/n/ac Wi-Fi capability coupled with Bluetooth 3.0 technology allows for fast and cordless transfer of files while providing constant and accurate GPS data when the NX1 is paired with smartphone.

Designed to fit securely in hand, the NX1 is also water and dust resistant with a magnesium-alloy internal frame for added durability.

Christ on a crutch - can't you even come up with some original b1tching?

And what about the DR?

Hi,
Hope they don't follow Sony... launch many camera model every year, but forget to launch any lens... especially those affordable by normal people.

Have a nice day.

Today there are No Bad Cameras -- some are just better than others.

Most Samsung lenses are oh-so-cute-pancakes designed for their non-viewfinder pocket cameras. Check-out their 85mm f/1.4 lens (=130mm FF), about as good as any 85mm available. Give me a 10mm (=15mm FF) and an 18mm/20mm (= 27mm/30mm FF) to go with the 85mm and it would cover 99%+ of what I shoot.

Here's a video on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZqYmvjEoGDQ

Wow.
That camera.

Samsung wins.
(except for the lack of supertelephoto)

let´s wait for sigma.

ps: people should ask themself, when was the last time you bought a supertelephoto from canon?

i guess the market for canon 400mm+ or 300mm f2.8 lenses is not that big outside professional circles and hardcore enthusiasts.

i doubt samsung is aiming at soccer or NFL etc. pro photogs with this camera.

I think it would be hard to say that Samsung is aiming for anything but the hardcore enthusiasts with this camera. Those specs are unparalleled and I don't see any shortcomings, they even have an f2 zoom lens (at the wide end).

Now, if Sigma put out an NX mount for their upcoming 150-600 Sport lens, there would be no question that the NX1 is the best body on the market.

with the lack of supertelephoto lenses i don´t see how samsung can aim this body at birders or sport shooter who need a long telephoto.

enthusiast yes, but not these kind of enthusiasts.

The big issue I'd say will likely to AF performance, if the tracking can't keep up with the FPS then any advantage there is limited, if its no good in low light that some of the advantage of there fast glass is gone.
