Wrong on all counts, maybe it's trivial, but see the T1i, no mic input. NX500 was not copy of A6000, it was the natural successor to the NX300. I have not seen it heavily marketed as a 4k camera especially. That is all the reviewers getting infatuated on their own and then bursting their own bubble, or are you suggesting Samsung marketing was actually successful at something?

The NX300, could someone check with up to date firmware if ADC can be disabled? I remember that the audio menu item was added in a firmware update, did they really add that only for control of the wind cut? I lent my NX300 to a friend while I'm on vacation so I can't check.

I have read a number of reviews about folks getting excited about the NX500 and when they found out its 4k video did not do wide angles it was dropped.  I think the AF of the NX1 & NX500 is a rather special but its fast AF was not as sexy as 4K video.  Every review I read tends to harp on its limited wide angle 4k, but for a number of folk mic input is another mis-step.
