The absensce of a mic input is a drawback. Every review says that it is. Is a disadvantage against the Panasonic G7, for instances. It's in every review a read...

Bad áudio is very common on NX cameras

I have never seen a microphone mounted on a small ILC. Ever. No doubt some people do use them on larger ILCs, but by and large those people don't shoot that sort of video with small travel cameras.

Let me repeat, your contention that the NX500 doesn't sell because it doesn't have a mic input is ridiculous.

I have a Sony RX100M3, which I use as a small travel camera. It has.....drum roll....no mic input. It was also a very popular camera.

I have a Nikon P900, which is an extremely popular superzoom. So popular in fact that it is difficult to find. It has ....... drum roll.......no mic input either.

So, your theory that mic inputs are necessary for a camera to sell well is a load of hogwash.
