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

When you shoot vídeo you also record audio, right? Maybe Samsung should tell their costumers, that their cameras shoot vídeo, but the not áudio, because their audio is always unusable. This is wrong.

In the case of the NX1, the roblem was not of hardware, it was software. I've seen this problem with áudio on Canon DSLR cameras, but they solved it along time ago, just by alowing the users to turn the AGC off. So simple. This only happened when sumsung updated the NX1, not long ago. They took a lot of time to understand that people who shot vudeo also like to have good áudio. Thy took from the first NX camera to the NX1 to finally alloe people to turn the AGC off. And what is curiou is that this is also happening with their cell phones, laptops, you name it... as you can see here:

Which makes me reach to this conclusion: Samsung likes bad áudio
