Re: fair 'nuff - I'm surprised buffers are still an issue....

Well, we're talking about a very small computing device that needs to be highly power efficient and handle quite a bit of image processing and hardware actuating (servo motors, etc.) in a very short amount of time. As I pointed out, buffer issues are not exactly exclusive to Samsung. Even the X100 I had a brief dalliance with had leisurely shooting, and that after extensive FW updating and much outcry among Fuji fans.

I know some here seem to think Samsung should be the master of all trades since they have a hand in various product lines and such, but it's not really that simple. One division can't necessarily walk over to the other and grab 100,000 processors, solder them directly into their own product and have it all run smoothly from there.

True enough, which is why I don't have any major complaints about the NX300.  If the NX1 though is really going to be pro level though, it will be held to much more exacting standards, so I'm hoping they go more along the lines of make it do everything and throw in a huge battery on a huge camera rather than try to make too many compromises by aiming at small and cheap.
