All this came the need of a friend downgrade a firmware 1.13 to 1.12 In a Pentax K-5 by problems in focus with tungsten light.

I did some research with a Pentax K-7 and its firmware and discovered several things. But the most important and which I think is the cause of the hack of the pentax has not been made possible, I have managed to introduce several ways firmware modified. I'm pretty sure that works in K5, Kx and Kr as well, but I dare say that in older models and new models too like K-30

I want people who have contributed much in this thread, . to renew their illusions. Publish their progress.

The first thing you would need is a good disassembly of any of these models (very similar). I have Ida Pro 5.5, but my knowledge of assembler are rather poor and I can not get to disassemble the code well.

If I can today, will try to test this in a K-5.

I leave you a snapshot of a small text change in the firmware of a K7, which is the model that has left me a friend.

A great

I don't know. Maybe this isn't the right place for posting such a question (please place it in the right forum then).

Probably this question can be answered with a really short answer - yes or no. But if "maybe" is the answer then I'd be glad for a few more informations. So my questions:

Are there any plans on hacks for Samsung NX cameras? Is it even "considerable"?

How would you compare the NX video capabilities in comparison to Pana's G/GF/GH/GX video performance (at least the Samsung NX200 comes with full HD features 1080p60 AFAIK)?

I find this a really neat little system with an amount of GREAT little pancake lenses that are quite affordable. So to ME it seems really interesting but of course it would be better having hacks that would improve video performances. I'm curious about the answer(s).

Cheers Jens

Things that I like is the VGA OLED screen.
They also have 1.44Mp viewfinder (ala GH1). 1920 x 1080 30fps and 24 fps using H.264

Now you can use your tablet or smartphone as viewfinder (monitor) via Wi-Fi and also adjust camera parameters using it.

Each camera has major strong points...

The GH2, as hacked, is much better for video, but the GH2 has just a few weaknesses, ...all of which are addressed by the addition of the equally cheap Pentax camera.

1.) The K-01 is both a good video and a great stills camera. I much prefer the K-01 for stills.

2.) The K-01 is way better at high iso (video and stills) than the GH2 ...useful when there is no alternative to shooting -in low light: http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1036&message=41548437&changemode=1 http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1036&message=41559032

3.) The K-01 is a fast panning bandit...no rolling shutter issues -likely due to the K-01's internal IS ...and blazing card write speeds.

4.) ALL Pentax lenses, all of them, work great on both cameras. Pentax lenses on GH2/K-01: http://whatblogisthis.blogspot.com/

5.) There are some (selected) shots just better with APS-C size sensors... The IQ can just be so much better!

6.) The faster, newer rendering engine on the K-01 takes full advantage of fast SDXC UHS-1 cards

7.) The K-01 is not a Nikon, Canon, or a Sony!

I'm afraid it's too early to tell, with all the new features of 20.x MP APS-C sensor, it's Video Mode 1920 x 1080 (30 fps), 1920 x 810 (24 fps) 1280 x 720 (30 fps), 640 x 480 (30 fps), 320 x 240 (30 fps) with Multi-motion recording : x0.25 (640, 320 only), x0.5 (1280, 640, 320 only), x5, x10, x20... it may be a hit or miss without input on being it NTSC or PAL and such.

I wanted to share this info...

"Sehr geehrter Herr/Frau,

At least better than 17. But never heard of 21. I know Sony does 24/28. But what is 21 Mbps?
