I'm not so sure it's all Samsung's fault. Stores are reluctant to stock items that won't sell quickly. Thanks to Internet shopping, the "brick and mortar" retail system has changed considerably with fewer and fewer people actually buying things in stores. The local camera shops that have survived can't afford to stock an item that might sit for awhile. The shelf space would be better served hosting a Canon/Nikon/Sony/Fuji product. Having said that, Samsung does need to make it easier for stores to order their products. But that presents an issue with the store as well: what if they order it for you and you decide you don't want it? I think the only thing that will help is increased market share.
