The biggest issue for Samsung is that they say they take the Mirrorless market seriously, but then release cameras like the Galaxy NX and have yet to release significant numbers of glass, or partnered with 3rd party lens companies.

Apart from lenses, I don't see anything wrong with Samsung released Galaxy NX.

This Galaxy NX smart camera has earned many praises around the world, especially in Asia, but just to be continue bashing by small group of so-called "old & traditional photographers".

Apart from big and clumsy RAW picture files processing and WiFi transferring limitation, Galaxy NX camera has nearly all the possibilities in 3G/4G-LTE mobile networking. Be it Apps for image alteration or any other purpose, Email and Social network apps text, voice & video communication with family and friends, all audio & video formats playback, Gaming/Network Gaming that work like a smarter smartphone or a budget laptop, all within a Smart Camera.

Galaxy NX Camera was just like today smarter smartphones including SMS, except for phone calling. Doing everything within a smartphone, playback, sharing, be creative with all kind of apps, go online for all kind of activities with mobile internet connection.

So I would totally disagree with ANYONE, just because it didn't do or come with 20% of the things the particular person wish for, so he choose to constantly bashing & discounting what the rest of 80% of what Galaxy NX Camera can do.

I like the NX20 but yes I would like to have a few lens' available to me that are useful for something like parties, weddings, wildlife, events and the like. a 50-135/150 2.8, a 18/20-50 2.8 100mm Macro, 300mm F4, These are the work horse lens' that are still not out.
I'd also love a grown up menu system, which is also a sign that Samsung isn't targeting photographers.
and a Wifi App that gave more then Auto control. Also a sign they aren't targeting photographers.
I've been asked about my camera many times, what people see is me loosing a shot because of lock ups, me changing batteries three times during a day long shoot. Most seem to think it is a neat idea, and takes great photos, but not one person has considered buying it.

First of all, how do you define "Photographer"? For me, anyone who like to record moments and things with a camera, I'll considered that person a photographer.

For your lost of some shot, it does not equal to Samsung fault. There's millions of other people carrying a much simple camera model or old camera who's also lost many shots, so they should blame the camera makers? I don't think so. It's all about planning.

You wouldn't do any better if you did not have a good plan prior to your shooting trip, or does not have a plan B. For example, if I choose to shoot all day in an event with 5D3/1Dx + 300mm F2.8 L lens. I just didn't purchased the vertical grip with 2 batteries, I might just end up run out of batt, even right before the event start. See what I mean?

Also by your logic, if I didn't married the most beautiful woman that I WISH for, who shall I put the blame on? The God? My parents and relatives? My friends? Well, you get my idea..
