Neither! If it is true that Sony a7r mkii focuses canon glass as well as canon dslrs then that techno will flow down to a6000 series derivative and eos m will be dead. There won't be much point in nx in that case either.

I've been thinking the same thing.  The way I see it, Samsung NX is a great system if you just want to use native NX mirrorless lenses, of which there are many.  But if you want to adapt Canon EF lenses, Sony may be a better choice for the near future.  So it depends on what your approach to mirrorless is: do you want to stay with native mirrorless lenses, or do you want to adapt DSLR lenses?  Of course, there's nothing to prevent EF lenses from eventually being adapted to Samsung mirrorless bodies with full electronic pass-through.  But right now, I guess the demand isn't there, so no one has bothered to do so.  Frankly, I see a day when fully-compatibility adapters are fairly common amongst the various mirrorless system.  It'll just depend on how well the various mirrorless cameras will be able to autofocus various DSLR lenses.  Of course, there was the belief that Sony mirrorless bodies would never be able to achieve fast AF with non-Sony DSLR lenses, but Sony is proving that wrong.  I don't see why Samsung wouldn't be able to achieve something similar in the future.  However, the big difference is that Sony has achieved that technical milestone, while Samsung has not.
