introduction
following the popularity of the
Micro Four Thirds system
, in 2009, Samsung entered the
mirrorless camera systems
market with their
NX camera system
based upon an APS-C sized sensor - the same size as
Sony NEX E-mount camera system
and thus has the same problem in requiring substantially larger lenses than the
Micro Four Thirds system
system and thus like Sony, misses the whole point of designing compact mirrorless cameras.
in March 2014, Samsung announced a new mirrorless system - the Samsung NX Mini which uses a 1“ sensor as with the
Nikon 1 mirrorless camera system
with the same 2.7x crop factor, and sports a new lens mount - the NX-M
see

for a comparison of the systems.
