at that time Sony has a great davantage, that Samsung didn't have. A great image quality, and a fast AF.

I think most reviewers agree that the NX500's image quality is better than the a6000. So I don't think that's the reason either. As for fast AF, I think the NX500's AF is better than the a6000 in good light, and the NX500 has better AF tracking. It's in low light that the NX500 falters.

Again, I think mic input is great, but I doubt it would have been the deciding factor for many consumers.

This works great on top of the NX500 http://www.amazon.com/Zoom-Handy-Portable-Digital-Recorder/dp/B003QKBVYK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1450215322&sr=8-1&keywords=h1+mic

I never use on camera mic only to synchronize audio. I find the extremal solutions much better. I agree I love the image quality out of the NX500 with the latest firmware update much better than my A6000 and the lenses are much better with the NX line.
