That's true. I wont argue with you there. The sony e mount looks pretty juicy. The a6000 looks very nice, but i prefer the handling of a dslr. Maybe because thats how i learned photography. And something that feels somewhat like a dslr will make the transition smoother perhaps. Sony gives you the option to full frame in a compact body and the a7 does look pretty nice. Sony is also a much more mature system and i think there is something to be said for that. I guess the reason is that well it more or less has everything i could ever want in a camera. You have the touch screen, the in body 4k, and the insane number of focus points. You can get the in body 4k and bazillion focus points in the a7rii but then you dont have the tocuh screen or the machine gun burst rate.. Not to mention it costs around 3 times as much. I thnk sony may have gone a little too small what with overheating issues. But thats just me . I also have big hands and although i havent actually held one i feel like the nx1 hits the sweet spot - smaller and less bulkier than a a dslr yet not too small. I have held an a7 in my local camera store and it felt a bit small in my hands.
Oh, and all the little jabs about how "brand x releases their camera right and doesnt need firmware updates" are amusing. Sure, they fixed a few issues, but they have also added quite a few features. Point is that the NX1 is a constantly evolving platform. Basically instead of putting out a successor 6 months later they gave you the successor for free. I mean, with a camera that can downscale 6.5k in real time what isnt possible?
I mean, the bitrates probably arent as high as a red cinema camera but its pretty close. The average camera shoots 1080.. Not only is this thing capturing 6x the resolution but its also downscaling the signal in real time which is pretty crazy. I dont know, im not a a tech guy but this is my understanding of what its doing.
Imagine the possibilities. They could probably do some pretty insane subject tracking.
