I agree that it seems kind or arbitrary and silly to not include a mic input on the NX500, but I wouldn't blame that for the lackluster sales.  I'm sure most serious videographers would be looking at the NX1 anyway since it does the full-sensor readout vs. the NX500.

With that said, you could fairly easily record the audio independently and then sync it up with the video if it's a huge concern.  That would allow for even better audio than you can get by a mic mounted to the camera.
