That's a shame as the NX system to me is the one that attracts me the most in terms of lenses.
I'm looking for something really compact with an APS-C sensor (m43 too small for DOF work IMO).
Zooms are too big, so a couple of fast small primes would be perfect. That's exactly what the NX offers and at a very affordable price. Their prime lenses are very good, especially compared to Sony.
Now, I don't understand why they didn't design the NX-200 with a built-in EVF. That's a very big mistake IMO. Sony did it with their NEX-7 which I think was very smart. Unfortunately their lens selection really sucks.
Adding a external EVF is very expensive and renders the camera much larger. I really hope Samsung will come up with a new version integrating a EVF...

I keep on wondering how Samsung intends to get some market-share ....
Let see what we got:
NX shop presence: basically non-existent
Web-Shop presence: marginal (at best)
Marketing: marginal
Time-to-Market: unreliable
Service: what service ?
I reckon this is all different in Korea but this doesn't help in the rest of the world.
