Just a head up on the new NX1 firmware update. I have been told by a source that it’s coming within the next few days….
Cinema5D (Click here) tested the new Samung NX500 4K capabilities. Their pros and cons list is:
Pros
-Excellent battery life
-full manual control
-Good fast mostly accurate autofocus in video mode
-High quality OLED screen which allows easy focusing (especially if used in combination with LCDVF from Kinotehnik
-Peaking is accurate and pleasant to the eyes
-Multi resolution/frame rate camera
-Multi region (PAL/NTSC)
-H265 codec (currently not supported by the major editing platforms but it’s only a matter of time)…
-Touch screen (for the one who like/need it
-Interchangeable lens system
Cons
-No dedicated headphone/ line-in terminals for better audio recording/monitoring
-30 min recording limit
-No build in viewfinder
-No “flat picture profile” in this engineering sample.
-“In camera” battery charging
This is really a great camera. Just wish it would be a tiny bit cheaper :) But that said Samsung really did everything right lately with the new NX1 and NX500. Can’t wait to see how Samsung wants to improve the lens system too!
The new LR6 is already available for preorder at BestBuy (Click here). And here is the press text taken from the site:

At a Sony presentation in Germany The German Journalist Martin Vieten got this small updated FE lens roadmap. It’s slightly different from the English Photokina roadmap as it hints that “many FE primes” will be announced in late 2015. And Martin also got a hint directly from Sony: One of the fast primes will be a portrait lens.
Dpreview interviewed Mr. Masaya Maeda from Canon Inc. and there are many statements about Canon mirrorless efforts:
1) Masaya says that Canon Japan would like to sell the EOS-M3 in USA but it’s Canon USA that doesn’t want that. Note: Here at Mirrorless rumors there is a name for that situation…we call it “Schizophrenia” :)
2) Masaya says that looking at all of the mirrorless cameras out there, there’s nothing that really frightens us. Note: Here at Mirrorless rumors there is a name for that situation…we call it “Delusional disorder” :)
A part of those two “diseases” Masaya shared some actual good news too:
1) He promised there will be more lenses for the EOS-M system
2) He also hinted a possible 4K GH4 competition coming from Canon
NAB show is coming in April and let’s hope to see that new EOS-M 4K Canon there!
