Re: NX1 and NX500 test shots use the 16-50 f/2-2.8 S (n/t)

Recently, Camera Store TV did a review of the NX500 where they noted that the NX500 was more detailed than the NX1 but also had more noise, which not so oddly enough matches the studio test results posted by DPR.  I speculate that it's possible that the NX1 might apply a tiny bit of noise reduction in raw, which could account for the difference despite the supposedly identical sensor...

It could also be FW variations depending on when each test took place. Samsung may have altered the RAW processing along the way.
