Does the NX1 shoot 4k? If so what sort of monitor are you using? I'm gonna have to grab something shortly, my current is only 2.5k and that's not gonna cut it any more.

Yes it does shoot 4k both UHD and full 4k.
It's monitoring capability sucks. For some reason it's HDMI outputs a super contrasted view. No idea why it does that, except that the HDMI is really supposed to be used for recording raw uncompressed 4K onto an external hard drive.
So for the NX1 it doesn't matter if it's a shitty Marshall monitor or a Small HD monitor.
Fortunately, the onboard lcd is pretty nice and kind of comes out from the camera and you can angle it a bit.
Sometimes I hook up a monitor on it even though it looks like shit on the monitor. But a lot of times I can just run and gun with no monitor just using the LCD.
Like I said, it's a completely different beast than my Canon 5D MKiii was.
I had about 20 pound of extra gear strapped on me when using the Canon.
This little NX1 doesn't seem to need anything at all. And it's light enough that I can easily just not even use my Ready Rig system or tripod and just hand shoot with it.
I love it.
To make an analogy...the NX1 is kind of like that skinny little spinner at the bar that you really love fucking. But the URSA is that incredible blonde with the giant bubble ass and huge tits that you really, really want to fuck too.
