@lucabutera I commented on the enthusiastic review by Ilksim, and I am waiting for your next great NX-related invention/creation.
I am sure that you will make something that will make more people (me included) to buy from you.

Even for the people not buying this camera (like me), I can't see how NOT to be excited.
It is the first time a manufacturer gives so much, for so little money, on a perfect operational and reliable camera body, covering most of the competition, and then add some.
It is an exciting release, but people tend to forget, that GH4 was exciting back in the day too, I am a bit old, and my memory works linear, so I clearly remember that - again- Panasonic pushed the limits a little bit further with the GH4, as exactly does with the GH5 now.
Well done Pana, but not for me, yet..
we will see how it goes the next few months, what others have to say (both real world reviews and other manufacturers), the firmware updates, and maybe, down in the road, most of us we will HAVE to own one!

Personally I'll be waiting to see more footage out of this camera. 
Because I'm still addicted and in love with my NX1. I work in stills and movies and it's very strong in both. I love how my clients are always blown out by the colors and details from the image straight out of the camera.
And also because I have never been a big fan of GHx color science or noise management (I find the image never clean enough for my taste).
I don't really like speed boosters because you usually lose some AF speed, and also it's expensive. First low light tests I have seen haven't blown me away. I'm not saying I'll never be interested in the GH5, but I have never been a camera "early adopter". 

So hard to keep up with the huge threads in these subforums, but every time I come back and check.. wow. Bravo, Luca

Could they at least just sell off those NX 300mm f2.8 demo units? Fast long lenses with AF are a total weakness of this system.

Dear Luca,
 
I’ve received the parcel. NXL-0055 is awesome. Incredible conversion factor on top of super optics. It looks like NXL-Optics is better than Metabone Speed Boosters)) I tried many original Metabones when i was m43 user, but finally quit from them.
 
I have two manual Samyang lenses: 24mm/1.4 and 16mm/2.0
Both get a new live with NXL… 16mm/2.0 becomes close to 11mm))
 
Well done, Man!
 
Keep Going.

The only thing I am missing from the NX1 is the focus magnification while recording video. Just that, but it is a quite serious omission.
The ergonomics and menus of this camera is out of this world, in my whole life (and career) I haven't ever used anything so consumer friendly, ever. People haven't used one, do not know what I mean.
Yes, it is starting to show its age, but the 28megapixels BSI sensor, the H265 codec, the unicorn 16-50 2-2.8f workhorse, and the hack/modding happening in this forum, is keeping it near the top almost 2 and a half years after its first release, truly the first prototypical hybrid camera of the 21st century, equal photos and video.

It was a shame.
They were on the way to a very nice market share
They just didn't see it.
And they probably saw the camera market shrinking due to their own cell phones and thought - WHY are we in a shrinking market AND why are we cannibalising our own camera-phones at the same time? Just doesn't make any sense.
But there were so many creative solutions to this problem -
1. Having high performing and well respected cameras would have boosted the Galaxy brand in their marketing fight vs Apple for best camera
2. The high end mirrorless camera technology would have filtered down to their smartphones as well
3. It hurt the Samsung brand to suddenly end a large product line altogether, virtually over night, with their customer services even claiming the specs were crap
4. By all means get rid of the low end models but keep at least the NX1 team going and produce an NX2
5. Their huge investment in CMOS sensors now has one less sales channel it can access and other big camera manufacturers aren't buying Samsung sensors. Not good!
6. They completely wasted the technology developed for the NX1, it hit a dead end. Nikon buying that tech would have made total sense for both of them but for whatever reason they couldn't see the light.
7. What about the staff? Not a nice way to treat them. Not just the engineers but thousands of sales and marketing people representing Samsung NX range
8. I could go on.
