I know but I want to have a camera that shoots on the fly, that is why I want a compact camera. I don't want to deal with syncing, and moving around with more gear.

I bet that users still buy the NX1. So what Samsung did was, in the end, to limit their potencial buyers, There is a lot of people who says the main reason they didn't buy this camera is because of a tiny, and inexpensive mic input. So stupid?!????!!?! Does Samsung ignores the feedback from users?!?!?!? Aren't they aware of this?

Have you submitted feedback to Samsung yourself? I don't see many people complaining about lack of mic jack on NX500. The NX500 was never marketed as a true video camera, and filmmakers would never even consider using such a camera, except for hobbiests that have little money for anything else. Why dont you buy the NX1? It is not that much larger camera. Buy a Tascam or Zoom mic, like I did and I sync it using software automatically.
