Re: Samsung NX cameras and audio/Mic Input - The reason for the flop in sales of the NX cameras...

I agree a mic input would be nice, but the a6000 didn't have it either, and it still sold pretty well.  So I don't think mic input is the reason for the NX500 not selling as well as Samsung hoped.  Rather I think it's just reputation.  The target market for NX500 (photography enthusiasts) didn't think of Samsung as a 'serious' camera maker, so they didn't even consider Samsung, even though it could have been a good system for their needs.  Unfortunately, Samsung cutting back is not going to improve their reputation in the industry.
