I too was really excited about the 2.5k hack but no samples to speak of and the few reviews of it are mostly like the one here. However, I believe there are two versions, an early and a later one. The early one had very low bit rate. Maybe the higher bit rate is better? Seems a bit of a mystery yet.

All you complaining about it, just load the mod (literally 1 minute operation), shoot some 2.5K video, and upload it to youtube, or whatever for the community to share.

As simple as that, and community will thank you for ever (or for a little while).

I plan on doing just that. There are so few 2.5K samples, and most of them don't have any detail behind them as far as which lens, settings, etc. What I plan on doing is putting the NX500 through its paces against my lx100 with indoor and outdoor video...1080p, 2.5K, 4K, etc. As far as still images go, I think I have a good idea which cam will prevail there : ).

That will be most interesting! I had a friends LX100 for a little while back in the day, I loved this little camera, just couldn't justify having, one instead of a bigger sensored (and almost equally small with the right lens) NX cam. It is a little great camera of its own, but I doubt it can rival the NX500 in video quality and sensor reading, as the 28 BSI sensor is still a piece of advanced sensor manufacturing.

We are eagerly awaiting your contribution to the community, cheers!

I hope you are right, but some of the youtube head and head videos I have seen show the LX100 doing quote well.... so we'll have to see.

We will find out pretty soon I guess!

A lot of people would be interest to see a head to head comparison between an excellent compact, and a very compact APS-C system camera.

I should be getting the NX500 today/tomorrow.  I will try and set up some testing.
