I agree with you Sylvain, except for the Samsung NX system. It is mirrorless, small, but APS and Samsung have all the resources of the world to develop it. I think you will see bigger market share and more lenses. I have seen an album a pro user in one of the French forums has made and the results are amazing. He says (I have not tested) that the 18-50 and the 30f2 are brilliant in the field. I am waiting to see what the new lenses are like, but I like it a lot from what I see and the APS sensor gives them a very definite advantage over Pan/OLy in the long run. When it comes down to it, sensor size rules!!

One of the key problem is the rather strong AA filter - that's easy to fix though. As of now I wouldn't really sign though that the IQ is there. The sensor is rather outdated anyway.
Samsung also struggles with visibility in this specific market. Sony and MFT rule the shops - both off-line and on-line - at least locally. That's actually an old Samsung decease of their photographic business group. Strangely they do proper marketing in other areas. In terms of technology they are also rather a follower here and not a leader. This is insufficient specifically in this early phase of the EVIL market.
And have I mentioned service quality already ? :-)) My 18-55 was 5 (five!) months in service and returned as "within specs" thereafter.
