gh5 vs NX1 after 1 month of ownership
1

I switched from the NX1 to the GH5 around a month ago and after shooting a few projects on it I am really glad that I did.

The IBIS + OIS stabilization is nothing short of game changing. I actually like the image quality of the NX1 better. But the usability, lens selection (great native options and excellent EF mount options with a speedbooster), stabilization, and customization make it a winner for me.

Here is a video of a waterfall in Nicaragua I shot on the NX1 last year.

and here is a video of a waterfall in Costa Rica that I shot last week on the GH5 + 12-60.

All GH5 shots handheld, almost all the NX1 shots are from a tripod.  The GH5 was a JOY to use because I only had to bring the tiny camera with me, while the NX1 required a heavy tripod and multiple lenses. The GH5 shots are 1920x1080 200mbps ALL-i 23.976fps and the NX1 shots are all UHD 30p at 160mbps.

Let me know what you think of the videos and how they compare.
