Re: why does the NX500 crops in 4K?!?!

I just wonder, the new Fuji X-t200, the Sony A6100, they are so small, as the NX500, so why does the Nx500 do a crop? If it is just because of overheating it doesn't make sense... do you think it was not to cannibalize the NX1 sales? If that's true, well, for obvious reasons, that problem is not a problem anymore... what do you think?

I've no idea. I don't think it has anything to do with size, as virtually all Samsung phones have a big crop too.

Re: New Nx500 owner.. which 2.5K hack?

Sorry to dig out an old thread, but I've noticed that in low light there is a lot more noise in 2.5k compared to FHD, even with the same frame rate and shutter speed. Is this because noise reduction isn't being applied to the 2.5k footage?

No, it's because 2.5k mode is line skipping (that's why you also get more pronounced moire and false color).
