i think I'd pay the extra 200 so I have the option for an American protection plan.
Well, yep. Manufacturers have some promotion periods.
To clarify, my info came from B&H, and Adorama:

Someone should change the forum title then. ;)
@chopnshoot , I was told the 1300 was promotion that was only to last up until the 11th.
Where is this camera going for 1300? I don't see it at that price with the usual stores.
This is a short video of some shots I took with the NX1 while spending the day in Boston.
My process is to tweak either Gamma with an in-camera image adjustments, which winds up being the final look.
In this context, I like the colors I get out of normal Gamma with the limited adjustments I can make in-camera as compared to Gamma DR.
Gamma DR colors may be accurate after they are graded in the computer and the dynamic range may be greater, but with the limited in-camera image adjustments, Normal Gamma is my preference when it comes to a shoot-edit-no-grade workflow.
Are you saying the Gamma DR isn't capturing accurate color info or that you its too hard to grade?
@ chopnshoot - no Gamma DR here. I have tried it and even tried it again today in a high contrast scene where I expected it to be preferred, but the colors where not what I was looking for. Normal Gamma with adjustments to the standard picture profile is now my starting point. I'm still tweeting the settings, but I like what see when I increase the RGB color settings, after turning down the contrast and sharpness. Basically color correcting in camera.
With this flagship model, Samsung has created a very compelling reason for SLR lovers to consider a mirrorless model, and for fans of camera makers with long histories and hundreds of compatible lenses, to possibly try something new.
Most importantly, the NX1 delivers very high image quality with its 28MP BSI APS-C CMOS sensor. BSI stands for "back side illuminated", a technology that improves low light performance by keeping the sensor's light-capturing elements unobstructed by circuitry. As a result, the camera produces very little noise in images shot at high ISO settings, and you can crank it up to 25600.

@joethepro I was wondering that myself - it's bound to happen though as Samsung has been 'kitchen sink' with their other product lines
So, how long before Samsung releases a log profile for the NX1?
So you're not using the Gamma DR profile?
So far, corporate video in mostly avaliable light. I dial in the look I want in camera and then I don't have to color correct. So my goal is to shoot as close to the final image and get away with as little lighting as I possible. The image straight of the camera looks finished to me and makes the NX1 painless to use. I like the fact that what I see is what get. I was never sure what the final image would be when shooting with the BMPCC until after I color corrected it, which is a bit to risky IMHO. The flip side is when lite correctly the image after cc from the BMPCC can be incredible - just too much work to get there for me.
How do you use it?
I made the switch from the BMPCC to the NX1 and couldn't be happier with my choice. That said, the NX1 is of course not perfect, just a better choice for me for how I want to use a camera for video.
Anyone wanna buy my bmpcc? LOL I think I'm about to switch to team Sansung.
An audio challenge for the NX1 in a NYC Park, where drums, bells and jazz are prevalent.
Music video that rented my NX1 for slowmo sequences.
No question the NX1 is more detailed at 4K. Anyway around the video time limit or is it totally baked in?
@Vitaliy_Kiselev : That's interesting. Thanks for sharing!
DXO has little secret.
Their main method was developed in the days of pristine (almost) raw images. They used them to make measurements and they had been pretty accurate.
Now all and every raw images are processed in camera (to look better), all manufacturers know about importance of it in competitive market. How this processing affects measurements is very hard to tell. It is more like arms race, I think. They try to measure as good as they can and companies try to look as good as they can.
